What it is
Hydrafacial is a specific branded system; ‘Aqua Peel’ may refer to other hydro-dermabrasion protocols used in Korean clinics.
A suction-based handpiece cleanses and exfoliates while solutions are applied. Authentic Hydrafacial and generic Aqua Peel menus should not be assumed to be identical.
Who it may suit
People seeking lower-downtime cleansing, hydration, exfoliation or clinician-directed recovery support.
Who needs extra review
Active dermatitis, infection, open wounds, recent strong procedures or known product sensitivities may require postponement or modification.
