Hydrafacial vs. SaltFacial: Why the SaltFacial Might Be the Better Choice for Your Skin
When it comes to glowing and healthy skin, non-invasive facial treatments such as the Hydrafacial and SaltFacial are popular. While both offer skin-reviving results, they’re not created equal. Depending on your skincare needs and what end result you are seeking, one may be a better choice over the other.
Let’s break down the differences between these two skincare treatments and why more skincare professionals consider the SaltFacial to be the new gold standard.
What is a Hydrafacial?
The Hydrafacial is a popular three-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates your skin using patented Vortex-Fusion™ technology. In three steps, you can have the best skin of your life!
Benefits of a Hydrafacial:
Gently exfoliates to unveil a new layer of skin
Painlessly removes impurities from your pores
Infuses your skin with serums rich in peptides and antioxidants
Delivers immediate, visible results
Safe for most skin types
What is a SaltFacial?
The SaltFacial is a state-of-the-art, three-step process designed not just to refresh but restore and transform the skin from the inside out.This three part system combines salt resurfacing with ultrasound and finishes with a high-powered LED phototherapy to give you rejuvenated skin with an instant glow.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: RESTORE- Natural Sea Salt Resurfacing
Using nature’s most natural element, sea salt is gently used to exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells while soothing the skin, leaving a fresh and glowing appearance with no redness or irritation.
Step 2: REPLENISH- Ultrasound Therapy
Applying ultrasound energy, we penetrate deep into the skin to increase the absorption of products and replenish dry and thirsty skin. This results in cell renewal, skin tightening, and improved skin elasticity.
Step 3: REJUVENATE- LED Light Therapy
Using customized LED wavelengths (red, blue, or yellow) to reduce inflammation, kill acne-causing bacteria, and support natural healing, LED phototherapy encourages collagen production while enhancing healing, creating younger-looking skin.
Benefits of a SaltFacial:
Deeper Healing, designed to heal the skin at the cellular level. No Artificial ingredients, and no synthetic serums. Just sea salt, sound waves, and healing light.
Long-Term Results: Patients see lasting benefits in skin tone, clarity, texture, and elasticity.
More Skin Concerns Treated: The SaltFacial is clinically proven for a variety of skin conditions including, redness, acne, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and uneven texture and pigment.
Collagen Boosting:our skin gets a regenerative boost, improving elasticity and firmness over time.
