Not all facials are created equal—and that’s a good thing!
Whether you're brand-new to skincare or just a little curious about upgrading your usual facial, this guide breaks down the differences between a Hydrafacial and a traditional facial. By the end of this blog, you’ll be able to choose the right treatment for your skin goals, schedule, and budget.
Let’s get into it.
Back to basics. If you’re craving a relaxing, hands-on experience with nourishing masks, massage, and that post-facial glow, a traditional facial is a beautiful way to maintain healthy skin and give yourself some TLC.
When most people get a classic facial, that type of service typically involves:
Traditional facials are great for general skin maintenance, hydration, and relaxation, and can be easily incorporated alongside your regular skincare routine to give it a boost. They can be tailored to different skin types and concerns, such as acne, dryness, or signs of aging. Treatments are usually very spa-like and can last about an hour.
Best for: People who want facial care in a relaxing spa setting.
On the other hand, a Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, medical-grade treatment that uses patented technology to clean the skin. At Siana Aesthetics, our Hydrafacials leave your skin visibly clearer, smoother, and glowing—with zero downtime.
Hydrafacials work well to:
If you’re looking to level up…AKA you want that deep-cleaned, pore-refined, ultra-glowy look that turns heads (and makes your makeup go on like silk), a Hydrafacial is worth every drop. It’s like giving your skin a fresh start, without the recovery time of more aggressive treatments.
Best for: Those looking for immediate, noticeable results with long-term skin health benefits. Ideal before big events or as part of a regular skincare plan.
The truth is, both treatments have their place in a good skincare routine—it really comes down to what your skin needs right now. Some folks even choose to alternate between these two services.
