HydraFacial MD vs. Traditional Facials: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to skincare, facials are a go-to for keeping your skin refreshed and glowing. But with so many options out there, how do you know which facial is right for your skin?


Let’s break down the difference between the trending HydraFacial MD and your average traditional facial—and why clients across Atlanta are choosing HydraFacials at SKM MedSpa.

What Is a Traditional Facial?

A traditional facial usually includes:

  1. Manual cleansing and exfoliation
  2. Extractions (optional)
  3. Mask and moisturizer
  4. Light massage


They’re great for maintenance and relaxation—but they vary in results depending on the products used and your provider’s technique.

What Is a HydraFacial MD?

HydraFacial MD is a medical-grade facial system that uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin in one session—delivering instant glow with no downtime.


Here’s how it works:

  1. Cleansing & Exfoliation
  2. Gentle Acid Peel (No flaking!)
  3. Painless Extractions with a Suction Tip
  4. Hydration Boost with Antioxidants & Peptides
