What is a HydraFacial?

HydraFacial MD is a facial that combines a chemical peel, hydration and microdermabrasion to the skin. HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts impurities from your skin that reforms the appearance of fine lines, large pores, oily skin and wrinkles. A surprising fact is that HydraFacial is actually more popular than Botox injections as far as the number of treatments. So, how does it work? The HydraFacial is a handheld device that uses different Hydro Peel tips and various skin care solutions such as antioxidants, chemical exfoliants and hyaluronic acid. The spiral tip is utilized with the HydraFacial vacuum technology to create a vortex effect that easily extracts impurities and brings in solutions that exfoliate, hydrate and infuse your skin with antioxidants.

The HydraFacial Process

The goal is to clean, exfoliate and extract dead cells and rejuvenate the skin by applying a serum imbued with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptides.

  • Cleansing and Exfoliation: Dead skin cells are taken out to expose new healthy skin
  • Light Acid Peel: Gentle peel loosens dirt and debris from pores without irritation
  • Extractions: Vortex suction cleans out your pores
  • Hydration: Antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptides enter to nourish and protect the skin

HydraFacial will help with clogged pores, dark spots, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and mild acne and oily skin. For example, in one treatment you can receive the following impact on your skin:

  • HydraFacial exfoliates your dry and dead layer of skin at the surface giving you a glowing appearance. This treatment is safe and gentle for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.
  • HydraFacial loosens dirt and skin debris with a gentle acid peel and no irritation.
  • HydraFacial extracts your pores with a vortex suction that leaves your skin fresh and decongested, which is especially beneficial in reducing acne tendency.
  • A HydraFacial nourishes and hydrates your skin with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptides. The effects are immediate. And there’s no downtime. You will leave with softer and smoother skin.

TestimonialsWhat Patients Are Saying About the Morgenstern Center

Sasha M., 41

My vision is clearing up from this morning's surgery, and all I can say is WOW! You guys did it again. My upper lid is completely off of my eye and it looks great. More importantly, my left eye vision is now unobstructed and clearer and better than I thought it would be. You guys are terrific!

Tim P., 30

Dr. Morgenstern operated on my eyelids several years ago. I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the results these many years later.

They still look just as great as they did a month or so after the operation. Consider yourself a master of youthful looking eyelids and please accept my gratefullness!!

Kristen F., 65

I am a 65 year old female and I had a facelift done by Dr. Morgenstern. I decided on the Morgenstern Center because of the reputation of the doctor. I was happy with the way I was prepared for my surgery and with my follow-up care. I am pleased with my final results.

Dr. Morgenstern is a confident and comprehensive provider. His explanation of options was easy to follow and offered clarity about the procedures available to me. Patient Coordinator, Myya Pavone, was clearly there to help me with concerns and questions. I could readily envision her as my companion through any proposed process.  Beyond the discussion about my surgical options, Dr. Morgenstern asked me questions about my optical prescription regarding prisms. I was puzzled by that conversational sidebar. The office is comfortable and professional. Staff are supportive.

Daryl C.

I had skin cancer on my eyelid and Dr. Morgenstern removed it with no problem - after I wasted a couple months with another surgeon  who eventually decided he didn't want to do it. Morgenstern Center is about 40 minutes from me but worth the drive. The staff there were all friendly and personable. Dr. Morgenstern was direct and to-the-point without trying to push me. I highly recommend this place.

Kristin D.

Staff is very nice, helpful and professional. Dr Morganstern was very nice, spent time, wasnt in a hurry and a true professional. Very happy with the whole experience. My visit was a simple consult for something on my eyelid that needed to be looked at.

Felix S.

Dr.Morgenstern and his staff are amazing! His attention to detail, communication, and professionalism is beyond comparison. His staff is very attentive and the clinic is immaculate. Couldn't be happier with my experience so far.

Lynn B.

Dr Morganstern is a consummate professional, gifted and skilled, yet warm and accessible. As a physician myself, I am very choosy about my practitioners, and have trusted him for medical interventions for my husband and teenaged son, and cosmetic ones for myself. We are moving South, but when we come back to visit family I’ll also be visiting Dr Morganstern!

Deborah E.

Shelby S.

I have been coming to the Wayne location for over a year now and I LOVE it. Abbe is and has been my favorite injection specialist—I specifically request her, her work is absolutely beautiful. She really understands exactly how I want things to look and talks me through everything before we start. And the results are amazing every single time! Everyone at the office is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the office itself is always spotlessly clean and has a great atmosphere. All in all, I love this office and highly recommend it to anyone considering making an appointment!

My experience with Dr. Ulloa was extremely positive.  He patiently and knowledgeably addressed all questions that I had about a recent biopsy. His level of compassion is admirable.  I felt that he really cared about my condition and showed real joy when we received  good news.   I look forward to working with him during my healing process. Dr. Morgenstern is an excellent surgeon.  His office is elegant and comfortable.  I feel very fortunate to be under the care of these amazing physicians.

I was nervous since this was my first time getting any type of cosmetic filler procedure.  Abbe was awesome and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  She was so professional, kind, and made me feel at ease.  I’ll definitely be going back to see her again because I loved the results!

Gabrielle S.

I really love the care I receive here! The office went out of their way to help me in a time of panic for my huge stye by squeezing me in on a Friday afternoon to remove it. They all helped me to feel calmer which I really needed. My style was was taken care of by Dr.Ulloa and his super nice staff. I felt very happy and confident with all of the care by both Dr. Ulloa and the staff and definitely recommend them for your eye needs.

This office is fantastic and did an amazing job with my skin cancer removal. The doctors were patient with me and helped ease my nerves. I will definitely be coming back for future procedures.

Jocelyn I.

My experience with Kara and the staff at the Morganstern Center has been outstanding!   We discussed my concerns and she gave me options and ultimately decided on going with the CO2 Laser.  She explained the process in detail and what to expect during and after the procedure.  She also contacted me a few days after my appointment to check in.  I am thrilled with the results only 9 days afterwards. My skin is tighter and more even and the surface lines have disappeared. I am amazed and will definitely continue to use this practice!!!

Bettyann B.

Great Doctor and staff! Could not have asked for better care!

Vilma C.

As a recent patient of Dr. Jan Ulloa, I would like to state that I am highly satisfied with the reconstructive surgery he performed on my eye lid – as part of a Mohs surgical procedure. I am writing this small note in personal recognition of Dr. Ulloa’s professionalism – not only as a reconstructive surgeon – but, as a caring doctor from moment I first met him until the present day. I would like to express my immense gratitude to Dr. Ulloa and the Morgenstern Center for Orbital and Facial Plastic Surgery practice for making me “whole” again.

Samantha B.

I have been to Nurse Kara more than a few times now and like always I continue to leave her office feeling even more confident than when I walk in! She is absolutely amazing and takes her time with consultations and of course the service she is providing! I love my lips so much! Thank you for everything!

Christopher C.

Dr. Ulloa was fantastic. I was heading out of town, called to see if I could get in, 1 hour later I was in a chair and receiving treatment. Dr. Ulloa explained exactly what was happening, described the remedy and set me up for a follow-up appointment. I was in and out, not rushed, well taken care of, in 45 minutes. The nurse was also a delight. Jahnle Eye Care, my eye doctors, recommended Morgenstern and I can see why, no pun intended.

Connie M.

Outstanding service! The staff was attentive and helpful, making my experience exceptional.

Carol

Absolutely 100% satisfied with all personnel and Doctor Morgenstern!!

I saw nurse Kara for Botox and for Chin filler. It was my first time getting it done and I was very nervous but she made me feel so comfortable the whole time, I absolutely love my results I look very natural but you can definitely see a difference in my chin.

The beautiful woman at the front desk, Jenny, made my day. She was so hospitable, welcoming, and comforting. She is the face of the building and a STUNNING one at that. She is an absolute ray of sunshine
