ADVANCED SKIN HEALTH & HYDRATION
Deep cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate for healthier-looking, radiant skin
HydraFacial is one of our favorite treatments for instantly refreshed, hydrated and glowing skin. This multi-step facial deeply cleanses and exfoliates while gently extracting impurities and infusing the skin with hydrating, skin-enhancing serums—all in one treatment with little to no downtime.
At Epi Center MedSpa in San Francisco, we use HydraFacial Elite to customize your treatment for concerns such as dull or dehydrated skin, congested pores, uneven tone and texture, fine lines, sun damage and overall skin health.
HydraFacial also fits beautifully into our approach to Aesthetics, Regenerative Medicine & Longevity. While more advanced treatments work to correct and renew the skin, HydraFacial helps maintain hydration, clarity and a healthy skin barrier—making it an excellent part of an ongoing healthy-aging skincare program.

WHAT DOES HYDRAFACIAL ELITE DO?
HydraFacial Elite is an advanced, non-invasive facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, gentle extraction and intense hydration in one treatment. Using HydraFacial’s patented technology, the skin is refreshed while customized serums help hydrate, nourish and protect your complexion.
The treatment works in three simple steps:
CLEANSE & EXFOLIATE
Gently removes dead surface cells and impurities to reveal fresher, brighter-looking skin.
EXTRACT & HYDRATE
Uses gentle vortex suction to clean congested pores while delivering hydrating ingredients back into the skin.
INFUSE & PROTECT
Finishes with customized serums selected for your skin concerns to leave your complexion hydrated, smooth and glowing.
The result? Cleaner pores, refreshed skin and an immediate healthy-looking glow—with little to no downtime.
- Uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.
- Remove debris from pores with painless suction. Nourish with intense moisturizers that quench skin.
- Saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.
Why Should You Trust Epi Center MedSpa?
Epi Center MedSpa has been at the forefront of medical aesthetics since 1998. Founded by world-renowned cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Patrick H. Bitter, Sr., Epi Center was the first medical spa in the nation and has been voted Best MedSpa in the Bay Area for 2026 and eight other years.
We were also an early adopter of HydraFacial and have been performing HydraFacial treatments for approximately 20 years, giving our team extensive experience customizing treatments for different skin types, concerns and stages of aging.
Today, our HydraFacial Elite treatments are part of a much broader approach to skin health. Rather than simply giving you a facial, our experienced aesthetic team looks at your skin as a whole and can incorporate HydraFacial into a personalized plan that may include medical-grade skincare, corrective aesthetic treatments and advanced regenerative options.
It’s the Epi Center difference: decades of aesthetic experience combined with today’s most advanced approach to skin health, beauty and healthy aging.
