HydraFacial and AviClear: Two Treatments, One Goal — Healthier Skin
Two of the most common skin concerns I hear from patients are "my skin looks dull and tired" and "I can't get my acne under control." These might seem like very different problems, but they share a common thread: both benefit from treatments that go beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve. At MedGlo, I offer two targeted solutions — HydraFacial for overall skin health and AviClear for persistent acne.
HydraFacial: Deep Clean Meets Medical-Grade Skincare
HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates your skin in a single session. What sets it apart from a standard facial is the patented vortex technology that simultaneously delivers serums while removing impurities — meaning your skin is being treated and nourished at the same time.
A HydraFacial session at MedGlo takes about 30 to 45 minutes. There's no downtime — your skin will look immediately brighter, and you can apply makeup and return to your day right away. I customize each treatment with boosters targeted to your specific concerns, whether that's fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or congested pores.

AviClear: FDA-Cleared Laser Treatment for Acne
For patients who have tried prescription topicals, antibiotics, and over-the-counter acne products without lasting success, AviClear offers a fundamentally different approach. It's the first FDA-cleared laser that targets the sebaceous glands — the oil-producing glands that are the root cause of most acne.
AviClear uses a specific wavelength of laser energy to selectively suppress sebaceous gland activity, reducing oil production without damaging surrounding skin. The standard protocol involves three 30-minute sessions spaced about a month apart.
What makes AviClear significant is that it addresses acne at its source rather than managing symptoms. Many patients see a meaningful reduction in breakouts that continues to improve over the months following treatment. Learn more about our AviClear acne treatment.
Why Physician-Led Skincare Matters
Both HydraFacial and AviClear are safe and effective treatments, but they deliver the best results when guided by a physician who understands your skin's full picture. At MedGlo, I evaluate your skin type, your concerns, and your goals before recommending any treatment. Sometimes a single treatment is enough; other times, combining approaches — HydraFacial for maintenance plus AviClear for acne, for example — delivers superior outcomes.
If you're in South Orange County and want to elevate your skincare beyond what products alone can achieve, I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss your options.
