You've probably heard the buzz around both the Hydrafacial MD and the new Shark Facial Pro Go. Well, Dr. Amanda Dunham decided to do a little research of her own, putting both to the test, and it's time for some real talk on which one is right for you.
💧Hydrafacial MD: The Tried-and-True Deep Cleanse
This is the industry gold standard for a reason. Its patented Vortex-Fusion technology is like a vacuum for your pores.
Pros: Unmatched for deep cleansing and painless extractions. If you struggle with congestion, blackheads, or oily skin, nothing beats its ability to clear out impurities. It’s reliable and delivers consistent, immediate hydration with medical-grade boosters for long-term results. Hydrafacial MD promotes lymphatic drainage and can reduce puffiness, especially when performed by trained professional.
Cons: Available in professional setting only. Not for home use.
💧Shark Facial Pro Go: The Newcomer
This treatment brings a different approach to the table, focusing on exfoliation and facial massage.
Pros: Home device. The cryo-semantic roller can reduce puffiness and promote lymphatic drainage & also just feels good.
Cons: While it does exfoliate, it doesn't have the same deep-pore suction power as the Hydrafacial MD.
The Verdict:
Hydrafacial MD: Professional treatments deliver professional results, suction and medical grade boosters are superior to home device.
Ultimately, the best treatment depends entirely on your skin's specific needs.
