When it comes to professional skin treatments, both microdermabrasion and hydradermabrasion have earned their place as go-to services for achieving smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. At Lore Beauty, we’re proud to offer Hydradermabrasion as part of our Sweet Hydration Facial — a treatment that combines deep exfoliation with replenishing hydration for the ultimate glow.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about this treatment, how it differs from traditional microdermabrasion, and why it may be the perfect choice for your skin.
What is Hydradermabrasion?
Hydradermabrasion is an advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a combination of gentle exfoliation, vacuum suction, and water-based serums to deeply cleanse and nourish the skin. Unlike traditional methods, it doesn’t just remove impurities — it simultaneously infuses hydration and active ingredients into the skin for immediate radiance.
Hydradermabrasion vs. Microdermabrasion
While the two treatments share some similarities, there are key differences:
Microdermabrasion:
Uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the surface layer of the skin.
Focuses on mechanical exfoliation and suction.
Effective for smoothing texture, improving scarring and pigmentation, but can leave skin feeling a little dry afterwards.
Hydradermabrasion:
Uses a gentle vacuum and water-based solutions to exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse hydrating serums.
More comfortable and soothing, with less irritation.
Leaves skin not only smooth, but also plump, refreshed, and hydrated.
In short: microdermabrasion polishes, hydradermabrasion polishes + hydrates.
What is Hydradermabrasion Good For?
This treatment is versatile and can help with:
Dull, tired, or dehydrated skin
Uneven skin tone and texture
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Congestion, blackheads, and enlarged pores
Dryness and sensitivity (when microdermabrasion may be too harsh)
Pre-event glow or regular skin maintenance
Who is it Good For?
Hydradermabrasion is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skins that may not tolerate more abrasive treatments. It’s particularly beneficial for:
Clients who want visible results without downtime
Those with dry, dehydrated, or mature skin
Younger skins dealing with congestion or uneven texture
Anyone preparing for a special occasion and wanting instant luminosity
The Hydradermabrasion Process
Your Sweet Hydration Facial is designed to deliver results while keeping the experience relaxing and indulgent:
Skin Analysis & Consultation – We begin by assessing your skin to tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
Gentle Cleansing – The skin is prepped and cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.
Steaming – A soft stream of steam is applied to open pores and soften congestion, making extractions easier and more comfortable.
Hydradermabrasion Exfoliation – The handpiece glides across the skin, using water-based solutions to exfoliate and extract impurities while delivering hydration.
Targeted Infusions – Depending on your skin’s needs, customised serums are infused to brighten, soothe, or firm.
Mask & Massage – A calming mask locks in hydration, while facial massage encourages circulation and relaxation.
Finishing Products – Treatment is completed with moisturiser and SPF to protect and nourish your refreshed skin.
Contraindications
While safe and non-invasive, hydradermabrasion may not be suitable if you have:
Active rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis flare-ups
Broken skin, open wounds, or active infections
Severe acne with pustules or cysts
Recent sunburn or chemical peel
Pregnancy (depending on serum selection — always check with your therapist)
Recent injectables (please wait 2 weeks after dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle treatments)
Aftercare Advice
To maintain your glow and protect your skin post-treatment:
Avoid direct sun exposure and always apply SPF daily.
Hold off on active products (AHAs, BHAs, retinol, vitamin C) for 48 hours.
Skip hot showers, saunas, or heavy exercise for 24 hours.
Keep skin hydrated with a nourishing moisturiser.
Drink plenty of water to support your skin from within.
Results are often immediate, but for longer-term improvements, a course of treatments may be recommended.
