Hydrafacial vs. Bela MD: What Are the Differences?

When it comes to advanced skincare treatments, both Hydrafacial and Bela MD offer cutting-edge technology to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin. These non-invasive treatments are highly sought after for their ability to address various skin concerns like dehydration, fine lines, and acne. However, while they share similarities, there are key differences in how they work and what they offer.

At New Age Spa Clinics and Academy, we specialize in both treatments, allowing us to guide you toward the best option for your unique skincare needs. In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between Hydrafacial and Bela MD to help you make an informed decision.


What Is Hydrafacial?

Hydrafacial is a patented treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion into one session. It uses a unique vortex-fusion delivery system to deeply cleanse pores while infusing the skin with nourishing serums.

How Hydrafacial Works:

  1. Cleansing and Exfoliation: The device uses a gentle vacuum to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for further treatment.
  2. Extraction: A specialized tip removes impurities and unclogs pores.
  3. Hydration: Antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are infused into the skin for long-lasting hydration.

Benefits of Hydrafacial:

  • Instantly smoother, more radiant skin.
  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size.
  • Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
  • Minimal downtime—skin looks refreshed immediately after treatment.

What Is Bela MD?

Bela MD is an advanced medical-grade facial treatment that combines multiple technologies to address specific skin concerns. In addition to deep cleansing and hydration, Bela MD incorporates serum infusion, microcurrent therapy, and ultrasound technology for a more customized approach to skincare.

How Bela MD Works:

  1. Aqua-Dermabrasion: Similar to Hydrafacial, this step deeply cleanses and exfoliates the skin.
  2. Infusion of Active Serums: Bela MD allows for tailored solutions using serums targeted to specific concerns like pigmentation, acne, or aging.
  3. Electroporation: Opens microchannels in the skin, enhancing serum absorption.
  4. Microcurrent Technology: Stimulates collagen and elastin production.
  5. Ultrasound Technology: Boosts serum penetration and promotes circulation for enhanced results.

Benefits of Bela MD:

  • Highly customizable for specific skin concerns.
  • Combines hydration with anti-aging and acne-reducing technologies.
  • Offers added benefits like microcurrent lifting and deep serum penetration.
  • Medical-grade results with a holistic approach to skin health.
