In plain terms, it is a “do it all” facial that helps with:

• Dryness and dehydration

• Skin that feels tired, flat, or sluggish

Why do people compare Bela MD to HydraFacial?

Here is why the “HydraFacial on crack” comparison keeps coming up. HydraFacial is known for delivering a nice instant glow through cleansing, gentle exfoliation, suction, and serum infusion. Bela MD+ does that too, but it adds more layers and more customization. The full Bela MD+ Total Package includes:

• Diamond tip microdermabrasion

• Hydrogen water infusion

• Ultrasonic cleansing and extractions

• Customized serum infusion

• Microcurrent muscle stimulation to support circulation and a lifting effect

• Electroporation to enhance serum penetration

So if HydraFacial is the express option, Bela MD+ is the “full service” version. It is still comfortable. It is still no downtime. It just does more in one sitting.

The Bela MD+ six-step process (what each step does)

If you are a “tell me exactly what you’re doing to my face” type of person, we respect that. Here is the breakdown of what happens during the Bela MD+ Total Package.

1) Diamond tip microdermabrasion

This step exfoliates and removes dead, dull surface cells so your skin looks smoother and fresher. It also supports healthy cell turnover, which is key for glow.

2) Hydrogen water infusion

Hydrogen water infusion delivers antioxidants and hydration support. This step is one reason skin often looks bouncier and more hydrated immediately after.

3) Ultrasonic cleanse and extractions

This is the deep clean moment. Ultrasonic cleansing helps lift congestion and remove buildup from pores. If blackheads and clogged pores are your main issue, this step alone is a game changer.

4) Customized serum infusion

This is where Bela MD+ gets personal. Serums can be customized based on what your skin needs in that season and in that moment.

5) Microcurrent muscle stimulation

Microcurrent supports circulation and gives a lifted, more awake look. If you have ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I just want to look less tired,” this step helps.

6) Electroporation

Electroporation helps improve serum absorption. Think of it as helping your skin take in the good stuff more effectively, instead of leaving it sitting on the surface.

Which Bela MD option should you choose?

You will see an immediate glow right away. How long it lasts depends on:

• Your skin type

This is why monthly treatments often deliver the best long-term payoff.
