A fresh, radiant complexion is no coincidence but the result of targeted care. Alongside the daily skincare routine, many people rely on professional treatments to treat skin problems effectively and support the natural glow. We now compare two well-known methods: Aquafacial vs Hydrafacial.
Both are non-invasive, combine several care steps in one session and deliver immediately visible results. At Dermacare Vienna we offer Aquafacial, a treatment that is ideally suited to many skin types. But what exactly are the differences between Aquafacial and Hydrafacial, and which method suits your skin best?
What is Aquafacial?
Aquafacial is a modern, multi-step skin treatment that combines cleansing, gentle peeling, deep hydration and nutrient supply.
With the help of a special spiral handpiece, dead skin cells are removed, pores are cleansed and high-quality serums (e.g. with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants) are infused deep into the skin.
Benefits of Aquafacial at Dermacare Vienna:
- Gentle & effective – also suitable for sensitive skin
- Immediately visible results after just one treatment
- For all skin types – from dry to oily
- Intensive moisture boost through high-quality serums
- No downtime – ideal before special occasions
What is Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial is also a multi-step, non-invasive treatment. The technology is based on the so-called Vortex-Fusion, in which a vortex of liquid takes care of cleansing and the delivery of active ingredients.
Hydrafacial is often combined with individually adaptable serums in order to address specific skin concerns such as pigment spots, fine lines or blemishes.
Aquafacial vs Hydrafacial in detail
In the comparison of Aquafacial vs Hydrafacial, the first thing that stands out is that both treatments are based on a gentle water-based facial cleanse that cleanses the skin thoroughly while supplying it with valuable nutrients.
The Aquafacial at Dermacare Vienna uses a special spiral handpiece that works water and serums into the skin, entirely without aggressive techniques. Hydrafacial, by contrast, works with the patented Vortex-Fusion technology, which cleanses the pores particularly deeply through a vortex effect.
Both methods include cleansing, peeling, extraction and hydration. Aquafacial is very versatile and is wonderfully suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin, while Hydrafacial stands out particularly for specific problem areas such as acne or pigment spots.
Price-wise, Aquafacial is often more attractive and still offers a noticeably fresh skin feel with plenty of moisture and a radiant glow. Overall, both deliver an effective water-based facial cleanse and visible results, and the choice between Aquafacial vs Hydrafacial depends on your individual needs.
Why we rely on Aquafacial at Dermacare Vienna
As already mentioned, Aquafacial ideally combines all the essential steps of a professional skin treatment: cleansing, hydration and nutrient supply in a single, pleasantly gentle session.

At Dermacare Vienna we also deliberately rely on combination treatments. Aquafacial can be combined perfectly with other, individually tailored treatments such as:
- peels,
- microneedling,
- mesotherapy
- or anti-ageing treatments.
In this way we can not only deep-cleanse your skin and supply it with moisture, but also address specific skin needs such as fine lines, pigmentation disorders or acne, for an even more intensive and lasting result.
Who is Aquafacial particularly suitable for?
Aquafacial is ideal if you:
- want to cleanse your skin thoroughly and clear it deep within the pores
- are looking for an instant boost of freshness and moisture
- prefer a treatment without downtime
- want your skin to glow before a special occasion
