Taneesa Williamson Beloved professional skincare treatment Hydrafacial is now clinically reported to improve acne skin concerns.
According to a new study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD), Hydrafacial is now reported to significantly improve common chronic skin condition, acne vulgaris. The Beauty Health Company-owned brand (NASDAQ: SKIN) shared that 100 percent of study participants reported clearer, less inflamed skin after a series of clarifying treatments with Hydrafacial’s patented vortex fusion device and blue LED light. During the 12-week assessment, study participants, ranging in age from 19 to 48 and with varied skin tones, received a clarifying Hydrafacial treatment from a trained aesthetician every two weeks.
All participants reported a significant improvement in acne severity, finding they had fewer acne lesions and cleaner, more radiant-looking skin. Additionally, participants reported a significant boost in confidence in their appearance at the conclusion of the study, growing from 40 percent feeling more confident after their first treatment to 100 percent, after their final treatment.
“We are thrilled to present these latest findings on the benefits of Hydrafacial clarifying treatments for those suffering from acne,” says Beauty Health Chief Medical Officer and study co-author Dr. Jwala Karnik.

“Anyone who has ever experienced acne understands the desire to find a solution that truly works and can help them feel more confident in their appearance. Our hope is that these findings encourage anyone suffering from acne to try this clarifying treatment and see the results for themselves.”
Following this, Storgard et al. share results from their 12-week, multi-center, open-label study that investigated the efficacy and tolerability of the HydraFacial Clarifying Treatment for improving skin appearance in patients with acne vulgaris. They found that the proportion of patients with no acne or almost clear skin at baseline versus final treatment increased from 20 to 65 percent per investigator assessment, and from 5 to 55 percent per patient self-report. The authors were comfortable concluding that a series of six HydraFacial Clarifying Treatments improves overall skin appearance in patients with active acne.
