Q: What's the main difference between HydraFacial and a chemical peel?

A: HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin's surface with no downtime. A chemical peel uses an acid solution to remove outer skin layers and works at a deeper level, with downtime that varies by peel strength.

Q: Which one is better for acne scarring?

A: A chemical peel, generally — it reaches the depth where most acne scarring actually sits. HydraFacial helps with tone and texture but won't meaningfully change pitted or boxcar scarring on its own.

Q: Does HydraFacial really have zero downtime?

A: Yes, for the vast majority of clients. You can go straight back to your day, including makeup, right after your session.

Q: How much downtime should I expect from a chemical peel?

A: It depends on strength — anywhere from a few hours of mild redness for a light peel, up to about a week of visible peeling for a medium-depth peel.

Q: Can I get both treatments?

A: Yes. Many clients use HydraFacial for regular upkeep and schedule a chemical peel periodically for deeper concerns like scarring or sun damage.
