Advanced DermaCare Inc

I got the hydrafacial here and was surprised by some extras that were offered. The owner did an assessment of sun damage and moisture content of my skin using a kind of hand held machine which is helpful to know so you can gauge progress or utility of your skin care routine. Since there was some time between guests after my facial, she added a bit of lumi facial and was sure not to send me out the door without sunscreen. While extras might not be offered at busy times, I thought that was pretty cool. I agree that the prices are high if you are booking without a coupon, but there are deals posted on their website and if you sign up for emails you get some smoking deals that make these treatments affordable. I wasn’t expecting any kind of spa experience since some of these treatments are the same as offered by your dermatologist so that is the environment I had in mind. Also, since I had my treatment with the owner, she declined my tip (tipping is probably proper when booking with her assistants, tho) so that can make getting treatments here even more affordable.

There are a lot of poor reviews to this place, so I decided to make sure that this isn’t the only impression left for this business. But it seems that most of the complaints are toward the owner, Diane, which I had minimal interaction with.
That being said, i arrived at Advanced Dermacare yesterday afternoon to use my Living Social Deal for a Hydra Facial. I was checked in by Diane, who was very polite to me and let me know my technician was on break but she would be with me soon. This was fine since I was early and I wasn’t in any hurry.
Now this place is spa like, but really it feels like seeing a skin care specialist. My technician, Erin, was wonderful. She provided tons of info and advice to help me achieve the perfect skin I have always dreamed of. She performed the Hydrafacial, which consisted of putting several types of serums on face, customized for my needs, and using a hydra dermabrasion tool to give me a new bright and shiny face and rid it of all the crazy impurities many of us in Tucson deal with. I had a really great experience.
Most of the prices make it so I cannot frequent this establishment, but they have pretty good deals from time to time. The other technicians are contracted to work here, and I really enjoyed the service I received from Erin.
So I wouldn’t let these other reviews deter you from booking an appt. But I would definitely say book with Erin. She was awesome.

I bought a groupon for a diamond microdermabrasion facial and lumi facial. Let’s just say it was not what I expected so I was really disappointed with the service. Erin was really sweet and the space is nice, however she pre-​empted the service by letting me know that this was not your typical spa type facial. She also was playing 50’s music, not very relaxing, and talked non-​stop. So to the facial, she puts a light lotion on your face and drags the diamond wand accross your face twice, all of this in a brightly lit room. Then she leaves you under the luminescent light for 15 min. Comes back in the room sprays you with a mist, puts a bronzer on your face and that’s it. If you are expecting a spa facial don’t book here, it’s not relaxing in any way shape or form.

Really terrible service. The owner is a very conceited, rude, and belittling person. I have never been treated so poorly by a business in all my life. I got a good, not great facial, and would have left had I not already prepaid for the service. I cannot stress how unpleasant this woman is. If you have facials to relax and pamper yourself, then skip this place. Interestingly, I can find no other reviews on this business, although I wrote one immediately upon leaving advanced dermacare. I suspect she combs through reviews and flags them. She would have to, if she wanted to stay in business. Oh, and after my appointment she sent me a vague «apology form letter», which was really more of a letter stating how wonderful she is. Very strange.
