When it comes to professional facial devices, the Aquapure platform has become a trusted name in clinics across the UK and Ireland. Known for its ability to deliver glowing, hydrated, and rejuvenated skin without downtime, treatments are among the most in-demand options for patients who want visible results with comfort and convenience.
With the release of the Aquapure II, many clinic owners are asking the same question: What’s the difference between the two devices, and which one should I choose for my business?
In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences between the original device and the updated Aquapure II, exploring their technologies, treatment options, patient benefits, and business impact. By the end, you’ll have the clarity you need to decide which system fits best into your clinic’s treatment menu.
The original Aquapure device quickly gained popularity among clinics for its ability to combine several facial technologies into a single platform. At its core, the device delivers hydrodermabrasion, a treatment that deeply cleanses and exfoliates while simultaneously infusing the skin with nourishing serums.
This multi-step process allows clinics to treat a wide range of concerns such as dullness, congestion, early signs of ageing, and dehydration. Patients enjoy the immediate glow and smoother skin texture, while clinics benefit from a treatment that is highly versatile, non-invasive, and suitable for all skin types.
For many years, Aquapure has been the foundation of countless clinics’ facial offerings, often used as both an entry-level treatment and a stepping stone into more advanced protocols.
While the original Aquapure is still a reliable workhorse, the Aquapure II takes things to the next level. It was designed in response to the evolving demands of both patients and practitioners, offering a broader range of modalities and an upgraded user experience.
One of the standout differences is its expanded functionality. Aquapure II incorporates four core technologies:
Hydrodermabrasion for deep cleansing and hydration
Electroporation to enhance serum absorption at a cellular level
Microcurrent stimulation to tone and improve circulation
LED therapy for calming inflammation and supporting skin health
This combination transforms Aquapure II from a facial device into a true multi-platform system, capable of delivering both instant results and long-term improvements.
For clinics, the additional functions mean greater flexibility in treatment design, from quick express facials to luxury multi-step protocols that can command higher price points.
Both devices deliver a comfortable, relaxing, and results-driven treatment that patients enjoy. However, there are subtle but important differences in the treatment journey.
With the original Aquapure, the emphasis is primarily on cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. Patients leave the clinic feeling refreshed and glowing, making it an excellent option for monthly maintenance or as a “first step” facial for new clients.
Aquapure II, on the other hand, offers a more comprehensive treatment experience. Thanks to its additional modalities, it not only delivers surface-level radiance but also stimulates circulation, encourages deeper penetration of active serums, and supports long-term skin regeneration. For patients with multiple concerns, such as fine lines, pigmentation, and inflammation, Aquapure II can provide a more tailored and transformative result.
From the patient’s perspective, both devices offer an approachable entry point into aesthetics. The non-invasive nature of the facials makes them suitable for almost anyone, from first-time aesthetics clients to those already committed to advanced treatments.
Where Aquapure II holds an edge is in its ability to address more complex skin concerns. For example, a younger patient might start with Aquapure facials to maintain hydration and prevent early signs of ageing, while an older patient seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation may prefer the enhanced capabilities of Aquapure II.
The ability to adapt treatment intensity and focus makes Aquapure II particularly attractive to clinics wanting to expand their patient base and appeal to multiple demographics.
For clinic owners, choosing between Aquapure and Aquapure II often comes down to business goals and patient demand.
The original Aquapure remains a fantastic choice for clinics that want to offer affordable, approachable facials that are easy to market and deliver consistently strong patient satisfaction. It’s an ideal “bread and butter” treatment that encourages regular repeat bookings.
Aquapure II, however, offers greater revenue potential. The multi-platform design allows clinics to create tiered treatment menus, from express facials to premium protocols, and to upsell additional features like LED therapy or microcurrent toning. It also integrates seamlessly into layered treatment plans, making it an excellent partner for higher-energy devices such as AgeJet Nitrogen Plasma or Ultraformer III.
Investing in Aquapure II can also help position a clinic as a forward-thinking, technology-led provider, appealing to patients who are increasingly looking for advanced, personalised skin treatments.

If you’re a clinic that primarily wants to offer accessible, entry-level treatments, the original Aquapure may still be the perfect fit. It delivers visible results, attracts new patients, and works brilliantly as a regular maintenance facial.
If, however, you’re aiming to expand your service range, attract a wider patient demographic, and create multi-tiered treatment packages, the Aquapure II is the stronger choice. Its versatility, advanced features, and potential for premium pricing make it a smart investment for clinics looking to scale.
