Achieving Natural-Looking Results
HydraFacial enhances your skin’s natural beauty rather than covering it up. By combining gentle exfoliation with targeted serum infusion, the treatment supports healthy cell turnover and balanced hydration. Results depend on factors such as skin type, booster selection, and adherence to recommended skincare. Our providers adjust suction and serum strength to ensure you leave with a fresh, natural glow—not redness or irritation.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
