Pros
- Honestly, there are very good treatments. Hydrafacial and Mirconeeding are amazing.
- Decongests my skin, makes me feel fresh and my skin has been really clear after the first 2-3 sessions (after the initial sessions, I started purging) but the sessions after that, not so much - I truly believe it has helped me keep my sk...
- It’s been a week and my skin is as glowy and calm as ever!
- I recently got a hydrafacial and I loved it and love the results, my skin looks so bright, clear, and calm.
- My little splurge is monthly hydrafacials; but I am acne prone and have combination skin; this helps me feel so refreshed and helps me stay clear of acne by decongesting my skin.
Cons
- As an esthetician, I hate them. They’re always over priced. They’re marketed as being for everyone when really some skin types shouldn’t have them or would benefit more from something different. They’re marketed as something they really...
- HydraFacial is a scam company that overcharges estheticians and basically forces them to use their ridiculously overpriced boosters.
- Since then, I have seen a great improvement in my melasma (to the point where I now don't need to put correcting concealer underneath my foundation). However, I have also seen myself start breaking out more, especially on my cheeks, unde...
- It’s so overpriced at $150+.
- I’ve never had one because I’ve never had a facial that I liked but I don’t like how they were basically shoved down our throats as “game changing”. Even my medspa acted like they were the second coming of Botox and you’d have glass, bab...

As an esthetician, I hate them. They’re always over priced. They’re marketed as being for everyone when really some skin types shouldn’t have them or would benefit more from something different. They’re marketed as something they really aren’t. Skin/life changing? No. A decent facial for some people? Yes. It’s not some magic treatment like the company has managed to convince people. It’s just microdermabrasion (an old, mostly outdated treatment) “upgraded” by adding serum to turn it into hydrodermabrasion.
HydraFacial is a scam company that overcharges estheticians and basically forces them to use their ridiculously overpriced boosters.
Since then, I have seen a great improvement in my melasma (to the point where I now don't need to put correcting concealer underneath my foundation). However, I have also seen myself start breaking out more, especially on my cheeks, under my mouth/along my chin, and at my templates and forehead.

I’ve never had one because I’ve never had a facial that I liked but I don’t like how they were basically shoved down our throats as “game changing”. Even my medspa acted like they were the second coming of Botox and you’d have glass, baby butt soft skin for 6 months.
IMO it’s overpriced for short lived results and the prices keep increasing. I had a hard time justifying it at $100-$135 and now most places are charging $175+.
Decongests my skin, makes me feel fresh and my skin has been really clear after the first 2-3 sessions (after the initial sessions, I started purging) but the sessions after that, not so much - I truly believe it has helped me keep my skin clear. Ive been doing it monthly since 2018. I think most of the hate is because people expect so much from it; I see it as maintenance not transformative.
It’s been a week and my skin is as glowy and calm as ever!
The results just don't last longer than a few days.
