Carbon laser facial vs HydraFacial: which one for your skin?

Carbon Laser Facial vs HydraFacial at Skin & Laser Dubai
Quick answerA carbon laser facial (AED 370 + VAT for the face) suits oily skin, enlarged pores and blackheads because the laser lifts away oil and gently heats the skin to calm oil glands. HydraFacial (from AED 370 + VAT) suits hydration and a gentle deep clean. For oily, congested skin many people alternate them monthly.

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.
