If you want healthy, radiant, and deeply cleansed skin, you've probably heard of Hydrafacial Syndeo and Aquafacial. Both treatments are among the most modern and effective methods for deep cleansing, hydrating, and restoring skin's natural glow. But what are the exact differences between the two methods and what benefits do they offer? In this article, you'll learn everything you need to know about Hydrafacial Syndeo and Aquafacial—from how they work and their benefits to the best aftercare products.





What is a Hydrafacial Syndeo?


The Hydrafacial Syndeo is the latest, most advanced version of the classic Hydrafacial treatment. It's a patented system specifically designed to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and intensively hydrate the skin in multiple steps. The Hydrafacial Syndeo uses state-of-the-art vortex technology to simultaneously cleanse and infuse nutrients deep into the skin. This method is particularly gentle, painless, and ideal for all skin types.(Quelle).




Benefits of Hydrafacial Syndeo:

  • Deep pore cleansing without pain (Quelle)

  • Removal of dead skin cells (Quelle)

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles (Quelle)

  • Improved skin texture and hydration (Quelle)

  • Individually adaptable serums for different skin needs (Quelle)

  • Improved skin appearance with acne, pigment spots and enlarged pores (Quelle)




How does Hydrafacial Syndeo work?


  1. Cleansing and exfoliation:

    The skin is gently freed of dead cells and impurities. A gentle glycolic or salicylic acid peel optimally prepares the skin.(Quelle).

  2. Extraction:

    Vortex technology gently sucks impurities, sebum, and blackheads out of the pores.(Quelle).

  3. Hydration:

    A special serum containing hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides is deeply absorbed into the skin.(Quelle).

  4. Protection:

    Finally, a serum is applied to protect and nourish the skin.(Quelle).


    For after-treatment care, I recommend high-quality, moisturizing serums such asThe Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 or the CeraVe Feuchtigkeitscreme for long-lasting hydration.



What is an Aquafacial?


The Aquafacial is a similar, but less technical, treatment that also focuses on deep cleansing and intensive hydration. It also treats the skin in several steps, but without the patented Vortex technology. Instead, special handpieces and solutions are used to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin. (Quelle).



Benefits of the Aquafacial:

  • Deep cleansing and detoxification of the skin(Quelle)

  • Reduction of impurities and blackheads (Quelle)

  • Smoothing the skin structure (Quelle)

  • Improve moisture balance (Quelle)

  • Cheaper than Hydrafacial Syndeo (Quelle)

  • Ideal for sensitive skin (Quelle)




How does Aquafacial work?

  1. Cleansing: The skin is gently cleansed with a special solution and freed from excess sebum(Quelle).

  2. Peeling: A gentle chemical peel removes dead skin cells and promotes skin renewal(Quelle).

  3. Hydration: A moisturizing serum is infused deep into the skin(Quelle).

  4. Care: Finally, the skin is soothed and nourished (Quelle).


Here I can also offer you the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Creme to support results.
