Is Hydradermabrasion better than microdermabrasion?
Both are great for exfoliation but can be used to target different skin concerns. Microdermabrasions may be more effective for people with deeper scarring and skin damage, while hydradermabrasions are used for more mild treatments.
What is the difference between Hydradermabrasion and microdermabrasion?

Does hydra dermabrasion work?
