Hydrafacial.

"Hydrafacials use physical friction and suction to clean the pores with the intention to unclog the skin, but physical scrubs and microdermabrasion create micro tears in the skin. Because skin of color has a more compact epidermis but fewer fatty ceramides, the barrier is easily disrupted. That suction and friction causes a trauma response. In skin of color, this heat and trauma wakes up the melanocyte, the cell that produces pigment melanin, and makes it angry."

"In my office we offer something called HydraFacials and our patients love them. The reason I like a HydraFacial is because there's a very strict protocol of how it's administered, so every time I know that my patients are going to be getting something consistent, and if there needs to be a tweak, there's a protocol to do that too. A HydraFacial is not a relaxing type of facial, it's like a medical facial."

"I really think Hydrafacial is a bit of a scam because it wasn't that amazing. It was a nice facial, I'm not saying it was a bad facial, the clinic was good, everything was good, it was all nice. But I just feel a normal facial was still Hydrafacial except for that two seconds of that little thing that she vacuumed on my face with that tool. I didn't feel any other difference. So I honestly don't think it's such a big thing. I've seen people asking me about it, saying the Hydrafacial is going to cost 15,000, and I'm like why is it 15,000 bucks? You don't need to spend 15,000 because it felt a bit like a scam to me."
