HydraFacial or Venus Viva? Picking Your Post-Summer Skin Reset

Sunshine, long weekends, and outdoor fun are hallmarks of a Canadian summer, but UV exposure, heat, and environmental stressors can leave your skin looking tired, congested, or uneven come September. At Faces DermaMedical, with clinics conveniently located in Arnprior and Ottawa, we specialize in advanced skin rejuvenation solutions to revive, refresh, and restore your complexion. Two of our most in-demand post-summer treatments—HydraFacial and Venus Viva Nano Fractionated Microneedling—address similar concerns, but which is the right choice for your unique skin needs?


Let’s explore how these top-tier treatments compare, the benefits of each, and how our experts help clients across Renfrew County and Ottawa achieve radiant, healthy skin after summer.


Why Consider a Post-Summer Skin Reset?


After months spent enjoying the outdoors, many locals notice:


  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • Sun spots and pigmentation
  • Dehydration or rough texture
  • Increased breakouts or congestion
  • Fine lines and early aging signs


A targeted skin reset isn’t just a luxury—it’s a smart investment in your skin’s long-term health. By restoring hydration, refining texture, and boosting cell turnover, you’ll look and feel your best well into fall and winter.


HydraFacial: Deep Hydration & Immediate Glow


Our HydraFacial treatment is a favorite among Ottawa and Arnprior clients who want instant results with zero downtime. This non-invasive, exfoliating facial deeply cleanses, removes impurities, and infuses the skin with powerful serums for maximum hydration and radiance.


Key Benefits of HydraFacial:


  • Gently exfoliates dead skin cells with unique vortex-fusion technology
  • Painless extraction of blackheads and congestion
  • Deep hydration using antioxidants and hyaluronic acid
  • Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin
  • Immediate results—your skin looks plump, smooth, and luminous


Best For:


  • Busy professionals, students, and parents who want a quick skin pick-me-up
  • Anyone prepping for an event or looking for an instant glow
  • Clients with mild congestion, dryness, or dullness


The HydraFacial experience at Faces DermaMedical is fully customized. We tailor the infusion serums to your skin’s exact needs and can combine your treatment with add-ons like lymphatic drainage or LED therapy for enhanced benefits.


Venus Viva: Advanced Texture, Scarring & Firmness Correction


If your post-summer skin concerns run deeper—think sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, or early signs of sagging—Venus Viva NanoFractional Microneedling may be your ideal solution. This advanced skin resurfacing treatment uses nano-fractional radiofrequency to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and triggering comprehensive skin renewal.


Key Benefits of Venus Viva:


  • Reduces acne scarring, fine lines, and deep pigmentation
  • Smooths rough texture and minimizes enlarged pores
  • Firms and tightens skin for a more youthful appearance
  • Customizable intensity for all skin tones and types
  • Minimal downtime (mild redness/swelling resolves in days)


Best For:


  • Clients with advanced photodamage or persistent post-acne texture
  • Those seeking longer-lasting collagen-boosting results
  • Anyone wanting a non-surgical option for firmer, more even skin


At Faces DermaMedical, all Venus Viva treatments begin with a comprehensive VISIA skin analysis so we can map your precise areas of concern and develop a tailored rejuvenation plan.


How to Choose: HydraFacial or Venus Viva?


Not sure which post-summer treatment is right for you? Consider these factors:


Choose HydraFacial if you:


  • Want an immediate glow and hydration boost
  • Prefer a relaxing, no-downtime treatment
  • Have mild to moderate concerns like dullness or minor congestion


Choose Venus Viva if you:


  • Are targeting deep pigmentation, scarring, or wrinkles
  • Want long-term collagen stimulation and visible skin renewal
  • Are comfortable with minor downtime for premium results


Still undecided? Many of our clients in Arnprior and Ottawa benefit from a customized approach—pairing a series of HydraFacials for ongoing maintenance with Venus Viva for more targeted correction.
