HydraFacial

HydraFacial at Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery uses Vortex-Fusion technology to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse skin with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides. Addresses fine lines, clogged pores, dull skin, congestion, and early signs of aging. Suitable for all skin types with no downtime — skin appears immediately brighter and more hydrated post-treatment. Sessions complete in thirty to sixty minutes.

HydraFacial at Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery uses the patented Vortex-Fusion handpiece delivery system to perform a structured multi-step skin treatment in a single continuous session without downtime or significant discomfort. The protocol follows a three-phase sequence, each phase targeting a distinct aspect of skin health. In the first phase — cleanse and peel — the spiral-tip vortex handpiece exfoliates the outer epidermal layer with a mild resurfacing solution combining low-concentration glycolic and salicylic acid, removing the accumulated dead keratinocyte layer to expose the fresher skin beneath without creating a visible peel response. In the second phase — extract and hydrate — the vortex handpiece creates a vacuum-assisted spiral motion that simultaneously loosens and suctions comedones, blackheads, and sebaceous debris from follicle openings while continuously infusing a blend of salicylic acid extract and beta-glucan to soften and liquefy congestion within the pore canal. The atraumatic suction extraction avoids the skin trauma and post-extraction redness or inflammation associated with manual extractions, making HydraFacial suitable for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin types. In the third phase — fuse and protect — a concentrated serum of stabilized hyaluronic acid, antioxidant peptides (including epidermal growth factor), and vitamin C is infused into the freshly prepared skin via the same vortex mechanism. The freshly exfoliated and cleared skin absorbs the active ingredients with greater efficiency than on an untreated surface, maximizing the hydration and antioxidant delivery into the viable epidermis. Optional boosters can address specific concerns — brightening serums for pigmentation, growth factor boosters for anti-aging, and clarifying concentrates for acne. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes depending on whether booster protocols are added. There is no post-treatment downtime, and most patients observe immediately visible improvement in skin brightness, smoothness, and hydration lasting several days.
