Treatment Overview
What SaltFacial actually does
SaltFacial is a medical-grade salt facial built for skin that needs a lighter touch. A fine-grain marine and sea-salt exfoliation lifts away dulling surface buildup without the intensity of an acid-based peel, ultrasound then infuses the right serum deeper into freshly resurfaced skin, and a closing pass of LED light therapy calms inflammation rather than provoking it. The result is smoother, calmer, more even-toned skin with no downtime at all.
That gentleness makes SaltFacial one of our go-to recommendations for sensitive or acne-prone skin, and for anyone who wants a visible refresh without planning around recovery. If your skin needs something more intensive for stubborn sun damage or texture, our medical aestheticians will say so and point you toward the Chemical Peels page instead. See the full Facials & Peels pillar for every way we care for your skin.
How It Works
Three steps, one gentle visit
Each step of SaltFacial works with sensitive and acne-prone skin, not against it, so you leave with a calmer, more even complexion rather than fresh irritation.
Marine Salt Resurfacing
A fine-grain, organic marine and sea-salt exfoliation lifts away dulling surface buildup and refines texture, gently enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin that cannot tolerate a harsher chemical peel.
Ultrasound Infusion
Ultrasound waves drive targeted serums deeper into freshly resurfaced skin, so the actives your skin needs, calming, clarifying, or hydrating, reach where they can do the most good.
LED Light Therapy
A closing pass of blue or red LED light calms inflammation and supports clearer, more even-toned skin, a gentle finish that leaves redness settled rather than provoked.
Want a deeper resurfacing option once your skin is ready for it? Our Chemical Peels page covers VI Peel, TCA Peel, and medical-grade skincare peels, with a full depth and downtime breakdown.
Fleming Island · Northeast Florida
Fleming Island's sun makes a gentle maintenance facial worth having on hand
Northeast Florida sits at an Extreme UV Index of 10 to 11 from April through August, with 220-plus sunny days a year, and UV exposure drives up to about 80% of visible facial aging. Fleming Island's boating and outdoor lifestyle, on Doctors Lake and the St. Johns River, leaves skin needing frequent calming and resurfacing, exactly what a low-downtime option like SaltFacial is built for between more intensive treatments.
Northeast Florida’s UV index climbs to extreme from spring through late summer, and sun exposure drives much of the collagen loss and visible aging we treat, so care here is as much about prevention as it is about correction.
SaltFacial is available at both Fleming Island locations, the Medical Spa at Island Lane and the Day Spa at Eagle Harbor, and Pura Vida has been voted the area's best medspa six years running.

The Pura Vida Approach
Gentle enough for reactive skin, thorough enough to matter
SaltFacial exists because not every skin type is ready for an acid-based peel, and not every guest wants downtime. Our medical aestheticians assess your sensitivity and any active breakouts first, then choose the marine-salt exfoliation, ultrasound infusion, and LED settings that fit your skin that day, rather than running one fixed protocol on everyone.
That same care for what your skin can actually handle runs through every treatment in our Facials & Peels portfolio, and it's why patients with sensitive or acne-prone skin keep coming back to this one.

Our Process
What to expect at your visit
First, a skin consultation
Your medical aesthetician looks at your skin type, sensitivity, and any active breakouts before recommending SaltFacial, rather than assuming every guest is ready for the same intensity.
Marine salt resurfacing
A gentle, fine-grain marine and sea-salt exfoliation removes surface buildup and refines texture without the irritation a harsher peel can cause on reactive or acne-prone skin.
Ultrasound and LED finish
Ultrasound infuses targeted serum into the skin, then LED light therapy calms and settles the skin before you leave, so redness is minimal and short-lived.
Honest aftercare guidance
You leave with clear guidance on hydration, sun protection, and what to expect over the next day, plus a direct line to us if anything feels off.

Frequently Asked Questions
SaltFacial Questions, Answered
What does SaltFacial do for your face?
SaltFacial uses a fine-grain marine and sea-salt exfoliation to lift away dulling surface buildup and refine texture, then follows with ultrasound infusion to drive calming or clarifying serum deeper into the skin, and closes with LED light therapy to settle inflammation. It is built to be gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin that cannot tolerate a stronger chemical peel, while still leaving skin visibly smoother and calmer.
Is SaltFacial good for acne-prone skin?
Yes, it is one of the gentler options in our medical-grade facial lineup precisely because it was built for reactive and acne-prone skin: the marine-salt exfoliation is milder than an acid-based peel, and the closing LED light therapy is chosen to calm inflammation rather than provoke it. Your medical aesthetician still assesses an active breakout before treating it, since a severe flare may need a different approach first.
How long do SaltFacial results last, and is there any downtime?
There is no downtime: most guests leave with a calmer, smoother, more even-toned complexion and return to normal activities the same day. The glow and texture improvement from a single visit typically lasts one to two weeks, so many patients build SaltFacial into a maintenance rhythm, especially given how much Northeast Florida’s Extreme UV Index (10 to 11, April through August) keeps stressing the skin between visits.
What is the difference between SaltFacial and a chemical peel?
The mechanism is different, not just the depth: a chemical peel uses medical-grade acids to exfoliate, which can mean several days of visible peeling depending on depth, while SaltFacial uses a fine-grain marine-salt exfoliation with no downtime at all. SaltFacial is generally the better fit for sensitive or acne-prone skin that reacts poorly to acids, while a deeper chemical peel addresses more stubborn sun damage and texture in guests whose skin can tolerate it. See our full Chemical Peels page for the depth and downtime comparison.
