Hydradermabrasion: an innovative modality for nonablative facial
rejuvenation

Bruce M Freedman, MD, FACS
Plastic Surgery Associates of Northern Virginia, McLean, VA Background Hydradermabrasion is a relatively new procedure that combines crystal-freemicrodermabrasion with the pneumatic application of an antioxidant-based serum.
Objective This study aims to validate the safety and efficacy of hydradermabrasion fornonablative facial rejuvenation and to determine whether antioxidant levels could beincreased in the skin with this technique.
Methods Twenty female volunteers, aged 34 –56 years, were randomized into twogroups. Group A underwent a series of six facial hydradermabrasion treatments using apolyphenolic antioxidant serum spaced 7–10 days apart. In Group B, the same polyphenolicantioxidant serum was applied manually to the skin for a total of six treatments at 7- to10-day intervals. Digital photographs, skin biopsies, and skin polyphenolic antioxidantlevels were obtained prior to and after the treatment regimen. Patient surveys were takenfollowing the study.
Results In Group A, treated skin demonstrated increased epidermal thickness, papillarydermal thickness, and polyphenolic antioxidant levels (P < 0.01). There was replacementof elastotic dermal tissue, collagen hyalinization, and increased fibroblast density. Finelines, pore size, and hyperpigmentation were decreased following treatment. There wereno reported complications. In Group B, there was no change in skin structure, antioxidantlevels, or clinical skin attributes.
Conclusion Hydradermabrasion effectively improved skin quality both clinically andhistologically. There were no changes to suggest that pneumatic serum applicationadversely affected dermal components. After hydradermabrasion, skin polyphenolicantioxidant levels were increased. In contrast, the intermittent manual application of thepolyphenolic antioxidant serum without the microdermabrasion element did not resultin detectable skin changes.
