Comparison: Diamond Microdermabrasion VS Hydro Dermabrasion Peel
Functionally, Diamond peel and hydro peel(aqua peel) are both used to exfoliate dead skin, clean pores, promote regrowth, and rejuvenate face skin texture. They both have similar operation gestures. They both settle similar skin problems. Since both methods are working effectively all the time, it is not so meaningful just sitting here to compare which one is better than the other exclusively, especially after you own both systems.
But their characteristics determine what they should use in different cases according to the skin types and the conditions. In fact, many therapists will combine both diamond microdermabrasion and hydro facial peel so as to optimize the therapy results. Now let’s see the Advantages and Disadvantages of both facial peel methods.
1. Diamond Microdermabrasion:
-Advantages
It utilizes refined diamond tips. The maximum exfoliating strength is sufficient. It has good performance in heavy dead skin, severe pigmentation, rough pores, as well as other usual skin problems. Users can choose the diamond tips with various refinesses according to the skin conditions so as to get the best results and prevent the skin from being harmed by over-exfoliating. It is recommended to use products for facial care purposes. This will ensure a smoother/gentler operation and less irritation to the skin. The products can also supply the just-been-peeled skin with necessary essence and nutritions along the operation. Diamond microdermabrasion facial therapy needs fewer sessions than hydro peeling. Here is the Diamond Microdermabrasion Machines category.
-Disadvantages
Overusing or improper operations will easily lead to skin injury. People with sensitive skin should be cautious about it. It would be much more ideal if the diamond microdermabrasion peel wand can have serum flowing through like the hydro peel type. Then the skin can be moisturized during the treatment operation. It will make the treatment more valuable to what the skin needs. And yes, there is such a diamond peel wand. Please check the below picture.
2. Hydro Dermabrasion Peel:
-Advantages
It peels more gently as it uses serum or normal saline as the peeling medium, so it is very suitable for those with sensitive skin and tender skin conditions. All through the process, the skin being peeled is covered by the serum, which can supply plenty of nutrition and moisture and can decrease the scrubbing irritation to the skin. The water-soluble essence in the serum is easier to be absorbed by the skin. Hydro peel is really the first choice for those with sensitive and dry skin, especially when it is used in dry seasons.
Also, hydro microdermabrasion works better in cleaning pores, comedones, and blackheads. The hydro peel wand can be operated repeatedly(several) on the T-zone area. The repeated operation is very helpful to extract the blackheads from the pores without over peeling the skin. And the surrounding serum helps to soften the pores, which makes the extraction easier. Since the pores are clear, the comedones will have a lower risk to come up. And when the pores are reduced, the skin texture will look more smooth and younger.
-Disadvantages
Someone with heavy dead skin, severe pigmentation, and rough pores should need more sessions to achieve satisfactory results. For someone with sensitive skin, it is recommended to get rid of just about 60% of T-zone pores per session. This can protect the skin from being hypersensitive but still gain good results. Keep taking the hydro treatment, the blackhead will be removed finally.
For those with closed pores, it is suggested to use hot steam vapor first to open and soften it before doing the hydro peel facials. This procedure is always helpful in any case.
Conclusions
It is obvious that one’s advantages are complementary to the other’s disadvantages. Accordingly, for a salon with different types of clients, or someone with complicated skin types, the most perfect combination is to have a system that includes both diamond microdermabrasion and hydro aqua peel and then use either or both relative to the exact skin conditions when it is necessary.
