Hydrofacial

The Bela MD is a medical-grade skin health device that runs several treatments back to back in one session. Diamond-tip exfoliation removes dead surface cells, a hydrogen-water cleanse softens and decongests, gentle vacuum extraction clears pores, and a series of concentrated active serums is infused into freshly prepped skin that can actually absorb them.

The result is skin that looks brighter and feels genuinely clean the same day, with no peeling, no flaking and no recovery period. It is the single best thing you can book three to five days before an event.

It is not a spa facial with a nicer name. The difference is who is holding the handpiece and what they are allowed to do with it — a medical provider can adjust depth, suction, serum selection and the extraction step based on your skin rather than following a fixed protocol.

We no longer have an esthetician on staff. Every Hydrofacial at The Botox Spot is performed by our registered nurse, Graciela Barragan, RN, or by Andrew Russ, MPAS, PA-C. That means your provider can read your skin clinically, tell the difference between congestion and fungal acne, recognize rosacea that would flare from too much exfoliation, and adjust the treatment accordingly.

It also means the Hydrofacial can be combined intelligently with the medical treatments in your plan. Your provider knows whether to do it before or after your Botox that day, how it interacts with a retinoid you started last month, and when to hold off because you have a peel scheduled next week.

To be clear about what we do not offer: no standard or spa facials of any kind, no dermaplaning, and no standalone extractions. The Bela MD Hydrofacial is the only facial-type treatment on our menu. Extraction is one of the steps inside it.

Because the serums and intensity are adjustable, the Hydrofacial handles a wide range of concerns — and it is safe on sensitive skin when the provider dials it down.

Monthly maintenance suits most people. If you are working on congestion or pigmentation specifically, a short series two to four weeks apart gets you there faster, then you drop to monthly. There is no minimum commitment and no package to buy.

Many clients pair a Hydrofacial with Botox or filler in the same appointment, which is efficient and perfectly safe when a provider sequences it correctly. It also prepares skin well ahead of a peel or microneedling series, and it is the treatment we recommend in the days before an event when everything else needs more lead time.

The Bela MD device lives at our Redlands studio at 914 Orange Street, Suite E, so that is where the Hydrofacial is performed. It is not available at the Riverside studio and it is not available on in-home or mobile visits — the equipment does not travel.

Riverside, Loma Linda and San Bernardino clients book it at Redlands, which is about fifteen minutes up the freeway. Everything else on our menu — Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, filler, peels, microneedling and Kybella — is available at Riverside at identical prices.
