    HydraFacial vs microneedling — what is the difference? A HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin’s surface with no downtime — ideal for glow and congestion. Microneedling works deeper, creating micro-injuries that rebuild collagen to treat scars, pores and fine lines, with 1–2 days of redness. Facials maintain; microneedling remodels.
