HydraFacial vs. Chemical Peel — Which One is Right for Your Skin?

Both a HydraFacial and Chemical Peel are perfect for skin rejuvenation, but the best one for you depends on your skin type, your skin concerns, and your skin goals. 

What is a HydraFacial? 

Our signature HydraFacial is a multi-step, serum-infused treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration to achieve a glowing complexion. Designed for all skin types—including acne-prone and sensitive skin—it blends clinical efficacy with a relaxing spa experience. This rejuvenating facial includes a thorough pore cleanse, both physical and chemical exfoliation, automated and manual extractions, and is completed with a skin-nourishing infusion of antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for lasting hydration and radiance.

HydraFacial is best for: hydration, gentle exfoliation, glow

Ideal for: sensitive skin, dry skin, mild acne

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use exfoliating acids to remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and reveal a smoother complexion. Great for those wanting to target acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture, chemical peels resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production.

At Urban Aesthetics, we offer a range of chemical peels to specifically address certain skin concerns and enhance your natural glow. Our treatments include the Refresh Peel, which uses malic and salicylic acids to rejuvenate the skin, and the Brightening Peel, which uses a blend of glycolic, lactic, and malic acids to exfoliate the skin and target fine lines and uneven skin tones. We also have the Jessner's Peel, which targets hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and fine lines, the Alkaline PH Skin Revision (unique to DMK), which adjusts the skin's pH to soften tissue and target acne, scarring, and rosacea, and we also have the Advanced Multi-Day Peel Systems which is a comprehensive skin revision that target acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Our aestheticians can offer a complimentary consultation to understand which may be best for you!

Chemical peels are best for: deep exfoliation, treating dark spots, acne scars, wrinkles

Ideal for: hyperpigmentation, aging skin, acne scars
