What is Hydrafacial effective for?

Doctor's Answers 3

Hydrafacial is effective for Acne, Oily Skin and Dull Skin types.

You would benefit from Hydrafacial since you have acne outbreak.

Although Hydrafacial is effective for Active Acne, do note that Hydrafacial Cannot treat Acne scars.


This is how Hydrafacial works - aqueous dermabrasion.

Hydrafacial is a multi-step treatment using gentle acids and serums to assist in exfoliation and vacuum extraction of dead skin and clogged pores.

Hope that this helps!

Hydrafacials may help mild acne problems and congestions but for more severe acne problems, you may want to look at other was to control acne. Its also an alternative for more sensitive skin.

Generally medical peels, topicals and maybe oral medications depending on how severe the acne is may be more useful

I think Hydrafacial should be considered an alternative to your usual facials with tons of extractions that leave people looking red and terrible (With fingernail marks to boot).

It has many fans, and if properly done by the staff, you do get nice glowing skin with a more stable condition (less outbreaks and the skin is less "dry").

Do it once every 3-4 weeks if budget permits and you should see some improvement in your skin!

Where can I seek treatment for cystic acne in Singapore? What is the best cystic acne treatment?

Thanks for the very helpful picture. Your condition is typical of moderate to severe acne, due to the presence of active pimples, acne scars and comedones (or blackheads). The dark coloured, bigger lumps that you described is an infected cyst – the reason why it’s tender, swollen and dark coloured, is because your body mounts an inflammatory response to the clogged pores and trapped bacteria; similar to how your other pimples are formed.

Anhidrosis is a condition where the body is unable to sweat. It is a rare condition, and when the body is unable to sweat, it is unable to lose heat. Symptoms commonly associated with this includes muscle cramps, dizziness, flushing and even signs of heat exhaustion. In your case, as your lack of sweating has only developed in the past 4 months, this is likely due to an acquired cause. There are various causes of anhidrosis.
