What is HydraFacial in Irvine, CA?

HydraFacial is a medical-grade hydradermabrasion treatment that combines cleansing, gentle exfoliation, painless extraction, and infusion of antioxidants and peptides in one relaxing session. Using patented vortex technology, the handheld device removes debris from pores while simultaneously delivering customized serums to hydrate and nourish the skin. Unlike traditional dermabrasion that relies on abrasive particles, HydraFacial uses a soothing water-based solution, making it safe for sensitive skin and effective for addressing concerns such as sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne congestion.

HydraFacial Results and Safety Considerations

Understanding how technique, skin biology, and post-treatment care influence HydraFacial results helps you feel confident in your decision.

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.

Where Are the Incisions?

HydraFacial is completely non-invasive and requires no incisions.

No incisions – completely non-invasive treatment

Because there are no incisions, there is no risk of surgical scarring.

Is Scarring a Concern?

Scarring is not a concern with HydraFacial. The treatment works on the skin’s surface and does not break or cut the skin.

Scar Healing Timeline

Not applicable – HydraFacial does not create scars.


You can enjoy your results without worrying about incision care or scar management.

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.

N. Snoozzz

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 !
