Step #1: RESTORE: Sea Salt Resurfacing

The SaltFacial^® uses pure sea salt for a gentle resurfacing treatment that is both safe and effective to exfoliate dead skin cells. Sea salt also possesses natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for calming the skin while detoxifying. 

Thanks to a unique pressure-flow system, the salt is delivered evenly without irritating, so the skin feels smooth, refreshed, and balanced right away.

Step #2: REPLENISH: Aesthetic Ultrasound

After getting rid of the first layer of dead cells on the skin, the next step focuses on restoring balance, hydration, and tightening your skin. Aesthetic ultrasound uses soundwave technology to gently stimulate circulation, which can encourage nutrients, antioxidants, and hydrating products to penetrate deeper into the skin. 

Besides supporting the skin function and repair, this process also enhances the benefits of any topical treatments used during this session, as they can easily penetrate the skin barrier. Ultrasound nourishes the skin from within, which helps improve texture, enhances radiance, and keeps the skin looking refreshed and vibrant. 

Step #3: REJUVENATE: LED Phototherapy

To finish, the SaltFacial^® uses LED light therapy to promote the skin’s natural healing process. The light wavelengths are customized to each patient depending on what concerns they may have, like redness and inflammation, while also stimulating collagen, which supports firmness and elasticity. 

It’s a relaxing final step that leaves the skin looking calmer, more even-toned, and noticeably radiant. The benefits of LED Phototherapy are immediately noticeable, and the skin is expected to improve even more in the days ahead. 

What Does a SaltFacial^® Do?

The SaltFacial^® is designed to refresh and restore the skin on the face, neck, and body. By combining sea salt exfoliation, ultrasound technology, and LED light therapy, it can:

• Clear out clogged pores
• Gently remove dead skin cells
• Balance oil production
• Help reduce acne breakouts
• Lock in hydration for healthier skin
• Smooth uneven texture
• Calm redness, dryness, and irritation
• Support collagen growth for firmer skinDeliver visible results right away with no downtime

What Skin Conditions Can a SaltFacial^® Treat?

Because it’s safe for all skin types and tones, the SaltFacial^® can be customized to address a wide range of common concerns, including:

• Active acne and acne scars
• Damage from the sun
• Fine lines and early wrinkles
• Dark spots and uneven pigmentation
• Enlarged or congested pores
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Redness and blotchiness

It can also be used to help prepare the skin for other treatments, like hair removal, by creating a smoother, healthier surface that responds better to follow-up care.

Why Is Sea Salt Used in the SaltFacial^®? 

Sea salt has been trusted for centuries as a natural way to cleanse, balance, and refresh the skin. In the SaltFacial^®, pure sea salt crystals are used during the resurfacing step because they provide gentle yet effective exfoliation without harsh chemicals. This helps remove dead skin cells, clear away impurities, and create a smoother surface.

Beyond exfoliation, sea salt is naturally rich in minerals and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it especially helpful for calming the skin and reducing irritation. It also helps the skin maintain a healthy pH and attracts moisture, leaving the complexion balanced and hydrated.

By combining the natural benefits of sea salt with advanced technology, the SaltFacial^® can deliver consistent results that are safe for all skin types — including sensitive skin.

Are SaltFacial^® Treatments Safe?

Yes, SaltFacial^® treatments are designed to be safe for all skin types and tones. Because the process uses natural sea salt, ultrasound technology, and LED light therapy, it avoids the harsh chemicals or aggressive methods that can sometimes irritate the skin. Each step is gentle, non-invasive, and tailored to the individual’s needs, which means there’s little to no downtime after a session.

How Long Is the Recovery Process Following a SaltFacial^®?

One of the biggest benefits of a SaltFacial^® is that there’s virtually no downtime. Since the treatment is gentle and non-invasive, most people are able to return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Some clients may notice a slight pinkness to the skin right after their session, but this usually fades within a few hours.

Because the SaltFacial^® works with the skin’s natural processes, you can expect to see an instant glow along with gradual improvements in tone, texture, and clarity over the next several days. It’s a simple way to refresh your skin without interrupting your routine.

How Much Does a SaltFacial^® Cost?

SaltFacial^® pricing can vary. It depends on the clinic, the provider, and whether it’s done on its own or paired with other treatments. Some places also offer package deals if you plan to have more than one session. The safest way to know what to expect is to have an initial consultation with your provider to create a plan that addresses all your skin concerns. 

At Spectrum Advanced Aesthetics, students in our Advanced program learn how to guide clients through this process — helping them understand treatment options, pricing, and realistic results while gaining valuable hands-on experience with advanced skin technologies.

What Is the Difference Between a Hydrafacial and a SaltFacial^®? 

Both Hydrafacial and SaltFacial^® are treatments that can make the skin look cleaner and healthier, but they don’t work the same way. 

• A Hydrafacial uses water and suction to clear out pores while simultaneously pushing hydrating serums into the skin.
• A SaltFacial^® starts with sea salt exfoliation and then adds ultrasound and LED light therapy. This means it not only smooths the skin but also helps products absorb better and supports the skin’s natural healing and collagen production.

In short, Hydrafacial is mostly about cleansing and hydration, while a SaltFacial^® goes a step further by focusing on long-term rejuvenation and repair.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a SaltFacial^® Treatment? 

One of the best things about the SaltFacial^® is that it’s safe for almost anyone, regardless of skin type or tone. It can be a good option for people who:

• Want to improve fine lines, wrinkles, or early signs of aging
• Struggle with acne, scarring, or enlarged pores
• Have sun damage or uneven pigmentation
• Notice redness, blotchiness, or irritation
• Want smoother texture and a brighter overall complexion
• Are looking for a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime

How Long Does a SaltFacial^® Last?

Most people notice that their skin looks brighter and feels smoother right after a SaltFacial^®. Results typically last for several weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the specific concerns being treated. 

For longer-lasting improvements, many providers recommend a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.

Because the SaltFacial^® works with the skin’s natural processes, benefits like improved tone, texture, and collagen production can continue to develop in the days and weeks after each session.

At Spectrum Advanced Aesthetics, we believe the best estheticians are those who combine a passion for skincare with hands-on training in today’s most advanced techniques. That’s why our Advanced Aesthetics program gives students the opportunity to work with technologies like LED phototherapy, one of the key steps in the SaltFacial^®.
