We serve the greater Tucson, Arizona area including Green Valley, Sierra Vista, Saddlebrooke, Sahuarita, and surrounding communities.
Overview + Benefits
HydraFacial is a cosmetic skincare treatment that combines exfoliation with specialized hydrating serums. The 3-step process deep cleans the skin to reveal and nourish the fresh skin underneath. HydraFacial is a non-invasive option for those who want to improve their skin texture without aggressive lasers or chemicals. Treatment works best for addressing common issues such as:
​
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Congested skin that’s prone to acne
-
Dull, dehydrated complexion
-
Sunspots, age spots, and other excess brown pigment
​

How It Works
Dry, wrinkled skin can make you look older than you feel inside. Sun damage, weather, and other environmental factors sap your skin of moisture, leaving it looking dull and flat.
​
HydraFacial treatments work by extracting impurities and replenishing beneficial nutrients that protect your complexion. The custom serums used in the procedure can help restore:
​
-
Hyaluronic Acid: A substance naturally produced by your body that hydrates the skin and gives it youthful volume.
-
Antioxidants: Special chemicals that protect and repair skin cells and prevent the production of free radicals.
-
Peptides: Amino acids that help your skin look fresh and vibrant by promoting the production of collagen and elastin.
​
​
Treatment
A typical HydraFacial procedure involves 3 steps:
​
-
A wand-shaped device is held against the face to suction out dirt and oil stuck deep within the pores. A gentle peel can also be used to help exfoliate dead skin cells and other debris.
-
A vacuum attachment is placed at the top of the wand to clear the last of the impurities from your pores.
-
A pen-shaped attachment applies moisturizing serums and other revitalizing nutrients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Recovery Like After HydraFacial?
As a very gentle nonsurgical procedure, there is no downtime after a HydraFacial treatment, and you can return to work or home right away and enjoy your new glowing skin. Be sure to wear proper skin protection after your session to maintain your results for as long as possible. Many patients schedule follow-up treatments every few weeks to maintain their well-hydrated look.
​
Can I Combine HydraFacial With Other Cosmetic Treatments?
Yes, you can combine a HydraFacial with other popular med spa treatments. Because HydraFacial is a very gentle procedure, it can be easily paired with other products and even help “prime” the face. Many patients use HydraFacial alongside dermal fillers, or microneedling treatments to smooth and sculpt the skin. When combined with complementary procedures, a HydraFacial can help restore a radiant glow while creating a firm, hydrated complexion.
