HYDRO / MICRO TREATMENTS
The Similarities
Microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion both use special machines to exfoliate the skin. They both have small wands attached to a tube and a base that is applied to your face, arms, hands, or whatever you wish to have exfoliated. The results to the skin are the same – both types of treatment leave the skin looking fresh, and can even remove fine wrinkles, and blemishes like sun spots. Other than that, these two beauty treatments take off in different directions.
The Differences
Microdermabrasion is a machine used to blast away dead skin. It is applied and the diamond tips lift off a small amount of dead skin or epidermal layers. The special wand then vacuums up the dead skin cells. This leaves the face looking fresh because the body gears up to replace the layer of skin that you’ve lost. It is not painful and tingles as the wand moves across the skin. The skin can be red and sensitive for about 24 hours following.
Hydrodermabrasion on the other hand, uses water and oxygen serums and a special tip to achieve the same effect. The water is sent through a supersonic nozzle and is applied to the area, then simultaneously vacuums the water and serum from the skin. The water has the extra benefit over the diamond tip microdermabrasion because it moisturizes the new layer of skin underneath the old one, leading to less swelling and redness with longer lasting results. It is not painful. Hydrodermabrasion is definitely the best option if you have very sensitive skin.

ENZYME PEELS
Enzyme Peels use natural enzymes derived from fruit and similar sources to gently exfoliate the skin. They work to dissolve dead skin cells, unclog pores, and leave you with a smoother and more radiant complexion. Gentler on the skin than chemical peels, Enzyme Peels are suitable for various skin types.
Each treatment is tailored to your specific skin goals and concerns. Some of the benefits you can expect are:
- Improved skin texture and tone, with an overall smoother complexion
- A brighter and more radiant appearance
- Reduced breakouts and clearer, less clogged pores
- Reduction of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
HOW DOES AN ENZYME PEEL WORK?
During your consultation, our skincare experts will look at your skin and chat with you about any specific concerns. They will then recommend an Enzyme Peel that’s specially formulated to meet your skin goals.
After cleansing your skin, the Enzyme Peel will be applied to your face for a gentle exfoliation. Once the time is up, the Enzyme Peel will be removed, along with the dead skin, to reveal brighter, refreshed skin.
There’s no downtime for an Enzyme Peel. Although you may feel a slight tingle, which will subside quickly.

How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin goals and particular concerns. You’ll see results right away, so if a glowing complexion is what you’re after, then you may only need one treatment. However, for more targeted skin concerns, we generally recommend a series of treatments spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart. We’ll assess your skin during your consultation and create a personalised treatment plan just for you.
What happens during and after an Enzyme Peel treatment?
You might experience a mild tingling sensation during the treatment, but it’s all part of the process. After we remove the peel, you may experience a temporary pinkish glow, which is normal and should subside quickly
How long do the benefits of an Enzyme Peel treatment last?
The benefits of an Enzyme Peel treatment can last for several weeks to months. By gently exfoliating your skin, the peel helps improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Of course, everyone’s skin is unique, so individual results may vary. To maintain the benefits, we recommend periodic treatments and a consistent skincare routine tailored to your needs.
