What’s the Difference Between HydraFacial and a Medical Facial?

Two client favorites—each with its own glow-up power.

Facials are no longer one-size-fits-all. At CSNY Medical Spa and Laser Center, we offer both HydraFacial MD® and customized medical facials—and while they share the same goal (glowing, healthy skin), the way they work is a little different.

So, how do you choose the right one for you? Let’s break it down.

HydraFacial MD®: Technology-Driven Radiance

HydraFacial uses a patented vortex fusion system to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse the skin with powerful serums—all in one relaxing, no-downtime treatment. It’s ideal for clients who want instant results with a focus on hydration, congestion, or dullness.

Best for:

• All skin types (yes, even sensitive!)

• Dehydrated or dull skin

• Blackheads and clogged pores

• A same-day glow before an event

Medical Facial: Customized, Results-Focused Care

Our medical facials are tailored to your skin’s unique needs and concerns. Each treatment includes targeted exfoliation, extractions, masks, massage, and often, a mild chemical peel. These facials use medical-grade ingredients and are designed to improve skin health over time with regular care.

Best for:

• Ongoing skin maintenance

• Treating acne, pigmentation, or sensitivity

• Clients seeking a more personalized, hands-on approach

• Pairing with other treatments like dermaplaning or LED therapy

Which Should You Choose?

Still not sure? You don’t have to decide alone. Our experienced providers will evaluate your skin and goals to recommend the best option—or even combine both into a comprehensive treatment plan.
