How they differ
HydraFacial uses vortex suction and serums to cleanse, extract and hydrate. The carbon laser uses a carbon lotion and a Q-switched laser to lift oil and debris and warm the deeper skin. One nourishes, the other clarifies and refines.
Which to choose
- Shiny T-zone, large pores: carbon laser
- Dull, tight or dehydrated skin: HydraFacial
- Acne-prone and congested: HydraFacial Gold, or alternate both
- Before an event: either, one to three days before
Combining them
Alternating every 2 weeks, or pairing them in a package, controls oil while keeping the skin hydrated.
