Last month we discussed our assortment of chemical peels we offer at Spa Vitoria. This month, let’s get into our facials. Both chemical peels and facials make great stock stuffers for co-workers or friends, far better than the candle or mini loaf of banana bread! What do professional facials do? A professional facial at Saltz […]
New Age mumbo-jumbo kind of ruined the word “crystals” for every other use. But at Saltz Plastic Surgery we love crystals for what they can do for your facial skin. We use aluminum oxide or sodium chloride crystals for a superficial exfoliation in a procedure known as microdermabrasion. It’s a great way to remove old, […]
With all the streaming music options out there these days, you wonder if a regular broadcast radio has a future. If it doesn’t, at least the radio waves do. They can be used to tighten your skin.

Submental fullness. Now that sounds like a perfect “answer” on Jeopardy! “What is another name for double chin, Alex.” Yep, submental fullness is one of those things we all like to think we don’t have, but most of us have at least some junk under our chins. In the past, nothing short of a neck […]
