We are all aware of how Hydrafacials are awesome and help to give your skin that dazzling glow but to make things even better a recent study has come to our rescue. According to the study, Hydrafacials are now safe and effective methods for treating acne according to several scientific citations and proofs.
If you’re fighting the battle of acne, our knowledgeable aesthetic team has all the information you need to determine whether you should commit to monthly Hydrafacials at AAYNA clinic.
What is a Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacials are a series of facial treatments that employ a vortex technology to cleanse the skin, extract sebum, and infuse it with customized serum. Hydrafacials can also be modified for the particular condition such as acne, aging, or rosacea.
While performing the Hydrafacial, your AAYNA specialist glides a hand-held device across the skin’s surface; the tool simultaneously sprays water on the skin and suctioned out the debris. It also helps to deliver healthy and healing nutrients and substances to the skin. Hydrafacial does not need any time to heal and you will be ready for perfect selfies as soon as the procedure is conducted.
Research Focuses On The Benefits Of Hydrafacial To Patients With Acne
A new clinical trial published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD) analysed the impact of Hydrafacials on people with mild to moderate acne. The study was conducted with 20 participants, the age distribution of which was between 19 to 48 years old, Skin type was also varied including light, medium and dark skin.
Participants had their Hydrafacial treatment consisting of a blue LED light from a Hydrafacial specialist and a licensed esthetician done every two weeks for a total of 6 Skincare treatments over a period of 12 weeks.
The researchers found a 100% positive response: The results also showed that there was a noticeable reduction of acne lesions for all the participants— the skin was healthier, clearer and radiant. They said that they noticed fewer acne spots, less redness and inflammation and skin that appeared and felt more refreshed.
This shows that the Hydrafacial Vortex-Fusion Delivery System, complemented with special clarifying serums and the blue LED light that we incorporate for acne-prone skin is the perfect solution to rejuvenation of skin affected by acne.
Plus, they reported a serious boost of confidence in their appearance: 40% responded that they felt more confident after the initial radiation treatment, whereas 100% of them felt more confident after the last radiation treatment.
This is not only fascinating for treating acne itself, but means that, if you’re acne prone, getting regular Hydrafacials will also help prevent the acne scarring that comes after breakouts worsen. Popping out scars is a more complex procedure than treating acne but we have lasers, Morpheus8 microneedling treatment, and various facial treatments for the same.
The acne severity was reduced from the participants in all individuals; they all had improved skin complexion, which was healthier and radiant as well.
Hydrafacial vs Other Facials for acne
You may not know this, but Hydrafacial offers a multitude of benefits when compared with acne facials and options like chemical peels, laser treatments or microdermabrasion –
- Safe for dark skin tones
- No down time necessary, the patient skins do not itch or develop redness after the treatment.
- Safe, minimally invasive treatments – No more pain and itching you get with peels and laser!
- Can be used on easily irritated skin or skin that easily breaks out into rashes
- Gives pores clearing and oil control, no physical scrubbing, and does not strip the skin’s natural oils.
- Comparing all the available medical aesthetic treatments for the skin, patients reported that Hydrafacial is the least invasive and least painful.
Reasons Why Hydrafacial Is Effective In Acne
Hydrafacial is a clearer procedure which employs a mild abrasive material; the water in the vortex is used to encourage exfoliation without aggravating the skin. Thus in cases of oil control one should not over dry nor irritate the skin as this makes the skin produce more oil hence worsening the acne and lesions.
Further, for blackhead removal and whitehead removal, Hydrafacial’s extraction technology using suction mechanism is far superior to manual extraction that involves pitching and is painful. Hydrafacial removes debris from the skin using a water vortex and purifying agents that should not cause skin sensitization.
Here’s what you should understand if you are considering Hydrafacials for acne:
- Exfoliation and Extractions: Both the exfoliation and extraction processes that are a part of the procedure often aim at addressing the condition of blocked pores, which form part of acne. By doing so, there could be actualized possibilities of improving conditions that distort the effectiveness of measures taken to minimize breakouts.
- Hydration: By taking sufficient water, it prevents the skin from producing excess oil that causes acne, and maintains a balance.
- Customisation: HydraFacial can be customized at AAYNA with boosters or using any particular serum that best suits the skin of the individual. If there is an issue with acne, there may then be certain serums or remedies that might be incorporated to address bacterial or inflammation.
- Gentleness: HydraFacial is considered a gentler approach in many cases for those with acne prone or sensitive skin, thus becoming a better option than intrusive dermabrasion.
- Reduction of Inflammation: As the ingredients used during HydraFacials are quite calming, this facial can help minimize redness and inflammation characteristic of acne.
- Improved Skin Texture: The treatments can improve skin tone and texture allowing the skin to regain smoothness and brightness.
- Limitations: HydraFacial is not a permanent fix; the patient may require periodic performance to retain the outcome.
- Consultation: To ensure the intended outcome of any treatment it is recommended that one seek advice from a skincare specialist at AAYNA before embarking on any treatment. Our expert aestheticians can offer individualised guidance if a HydraFacial is something that your skin needs, or its more suitable for other acne treatments.

It’s important to know that HydraFacial is not a one-time process, but an ongoing procedure. In general, repeating the maintenance treatments during months contributes to the retention of the achieved outcomes.
Can HydraFacial Help in Clearing Acne Scar?
HydraFacial is very effective for managing acne but it does not entirely fade the acne scars or marks.
However, it can enhance the skin’s general brightness and quality, and therefore reduce the level of contrast that makes the marks left by acne so distinguishable. To treat the specifically localized skin injuries like acne scars, certain other treatments including dermarolling or chemical exfoliation might be suggested.

Will I Get Acne After HydraFacial?
A HydraFacial can cause breakouts on some people’s skin; this is mostly referred to as purging. This can occur when the treatment makes the skin sensitive and is likely to cause the outflow of commodities that accumulate in the pores.
