Hydrafacial in Salt Lake City & Park City, UT

HydraFacial is hydradermabrasion. What exactly is that? It combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and anti-oxidant delivery simultaneously in a four-step process. The treatment delivers some amazing improvements in your skin, all in a relaxing, painless 30 minutes.

Many skin treatments, such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels, can cause hyperpigmentation issues with certain skin tones. But HydraFacial is suitable for all skin types, including thinning, aging skin and dry or oily skin. Even if you have sensitive skin that erupts after a typical facial extraction session, it won’t overreact to a HydraFacial. Plus, once the exfoliation and extraction is complete, HydraFacial delivers different serums into your skin that target your specific skin type and specific skin problems.

These are skincare problems we target at Saltz Spa Vitoria with HydraFacial:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Elasticity and firmness
• Uneven tone
• Brown spots
• Oily, congested skin

At Saltz Plastic Surgery/Saltz Spa Vitoria, our HydraFacial treatment is a four-step process that cleanses, evenly exfoliates, and extracts impurities and dead skin cells while at the same time replenishing vital nutrients including antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The treatment is delivered through a proprietary wand that combines a gentle rotating brush with suction pressure. This takes the place of the crystals sprayed on with microdermabrasion. The HydraFacial gently vacuums out your pores, while pushing in skin improving serums.

This is what happens in your 30-minute Saltz HydraFacial:

• Step 1 — Vortex-Exfoliation
  We attach the first head that uses Activ-4 serum and suction to remove surface dead skin cells and open and clear pores. This uncovers the brighter, healthier skin beneath.
• Step 2 — Vortex-Peel
  In step two, through the wand we apply Glysal serum, which consists of a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acids, the ingredients used for light peels. But this peel won’t have the usual post-peel scaling.
• Step 3 — Vortex-Extraction
  In step three, the wand applies patented, painless vortex-suction that cleans out pores with the help of Beta-HD serum.
• Step 4 — Vortex-Fusion
  Now that your skin is thoroughly cleaned and exfoliated, in step four we apply one of four Antiox+ serums (see below) through the wand. This serum application is the final step of the HydraFacial and replenishes your skin with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.

One of the cool features of the HydraFacial is that it can be varied depending on your specific skin type. This happens with the infusion of various serums.

After cleaning and exfoliation, the HydraFacial procedure infuses various serums to replenish your skin. We offer four different serums, depending on your unique skin needs.

• Brightalive Booster Serum — Designed to brighten skin tone and lessen the appearance of discoloration.
• Growth Factor Boost — Contains naturally occurring proteins specifically designed to restore skin health, which helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Dermabuilder Boost — Designed to effectively address fine lines, skin tone evenness, and texture.
• Britenol Boost — Specially formulated to target dark spots and sun-damaged areas.

At Spa Vitoria, your skincare expert will detail things you can do to keep your skin looking its best all the time. Those will be specific pieces of advice on skincare products such as exfoliators, cleansers, and other tips.

But you can generally break down what you can do in time increments:

• Annually — Once every year you need to see a board-certified dermatologist to screen your skin for skin cancer.

• Monthly — We advise our Spa Vitoria patients that monthly HydraFacials are a great time frame. The goal is to have professional treatment to deeply cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin.
• Daily and weekly — We can advise you on products and steps to take on a daily and weekly basis. These include using a quality facial cleanser morning and night, moisturizing twice daily, and exfoliating with a mask or scrub once each week.
• All the time — Wear sunscreen of 30+ SPF, drink lots of water, eat great food, and don’t smoke.

At Spa Vitoria we’re huge fans of the HydraFacial because it is great for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates these treatments. We adjust the serums delivered in the third phase of every HydraFacial to specifically match your skin type, and this includes sensitive skin types.

HydraFacials are effective for treating acne outbreaks and the clogged pores behind them. They aren’t as effective for treating acne scarring, although with the skin improving boosters, they are bound to improve things overall.

Still, at Spa Vitoria we offer other treatments, such as microneedling and various chemical peels, that would be more effective for specifically addressing acne scarring.

Hydrafacials usually take 30 to 40 minutes to complete. This is because there are multiple steps of the procedure. First, your skin will go through a detox, which involves a strong water-based solution. This solution causes lymphatic drainage, which increases your blood flow and removes any lingering toxins. 

After your skin goes through the detox, it is then cleansed and exfoliated. Your exfoliated skin will then be ready for the extraction process. This is when all the dirt and oil is sucked out of your pores via a suction device. Once all of the impurities are removed, your skin is then properly hydrated and leaves your skin feeling completely rejuvenated. 

No, Hydrafacials have absolutely no downtime once the treatment is completed. You can safely resume your daily activities without any issues.
