At Soulshine Aesthetics in Charleston, we deliver the self-care experience you want — but our goal is bigger: long-term skin improvement. We choose treatments that transform, not just polish. The SaltFacial is one of them. It’s a three-step, medical-grade reset that resurfaces, hydrates, and rebuilds your skin for real, lasting change.

Why the SaltFacial Is the Perfect Skin Reset

If you’ve been noticing dullness, uneven tone, or that your skincare just isn’t giving you the same results it used to, it may be time for a deeper reset. Enter the SaltFacial — a three-step, medical-grade treatment that goes beyond surface-level exfoliation to truly refresh, renew, and restore your skin’s health.

This isn’t a fluffy spa facial. It’s a regenerative, corrective treatment designed to:

  • Smooth rough texture and remove dead skin buildup

  • Brighten discoloration and even skin tone

  • Improve circulation and oxygenation in the skin

  • Support collagen and elastin production for long-term results

 

How It Works

Step 1: Restore with Sea Salt Resurfacing

We start with pure, natural sea salt delivered under gentle positive pressure. Think of it as a microdermabrasion-like treatment — but without crystals or harsh abrasion. It’s controlled, mineral-rich exfoliation that does more than just smooth:

  • Clears buildup and smooths texture without irritating skin

  • Draws in moisture to keep skin plump and hydrated

  • Fights bacteria and calms inflammation naturally

  • Balances skin’s pH for a healthy barrier

  • Feeds skin with minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium

Step 2: Replenish with Aesthetic Ultrasound

Once your skin is polished and primed, we move into the ultrasound phase — imagine the precision of Ultherapy Prime, but re-tuned for deep-skin nourishment, not lifting. This gentle ultrasound creates temporary pathways in your dermis, allowing active ingredients to reach where they can truly transform your skin:

  • Enhances product absorption so potent serums penetrate into the dermis

  • Stimulates collagen and circulation for lasting firmness and glow

  • Supports regenerative healing post-resurfacing

  • Creates the ideal environment for regenerative treatments, like exosomes, to work more effectively

Bonus: The SaltFacial + Exosome Advantage
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reported that the SaltFacial’s three-step, non-invasive process can enhance exosome delivery into deeper skin layers, improving skin quality in ways traditional facials do not.

Medical-grade LED bathes your skin in targeted wavelengths — red to support collagen and repair, blue to calm inflammation and reduce acne-causing bacteria, and near-infrared to accelerate healing — non-thermal, with no downtime. Think of it like the same concept as at-home LED masks, but with professional-level output, calibrated wavelengths, and precise dosing for more noticeable results.

This step:

  • Reduces redness and post-treatment inflammation

  • Speeds tissue recovery and boosts circulation

  • Helps even skin tone and improve radiance

  • Supports overall skin health so results last longer

Why it works: all three steps — sea-salt resurfacing, ultrasound infusion, and LED rejuvenation — are designed to work together. You don’t just leave polished for the day; your skin is healthier, stronger, and better equipped to age well.

 

How Many Treatments Will You Need?

You’ll see a noticeable boost after one treatment. For targeted concerns like pigment, texture, or fine lines, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

And just like the gym, results last longer — and keep getting better — with maintenance.

 

Why Maintenance Matters (and How to Make It Easy)

Great skin isn’t a one-and-done. Maintenance keeps results building and prevents your skin from slipping back into old patterns—think buildup, dullness, and uneven tone.

That’s where our Regenerative Facial Membership comes in. Members enjoy a monthly advanced facial—like the SaltFacial, Glo2 Facial, enhanced dermaplane, or microinfusion with polynucleotides—plus exclusive perks on services and skincare.

How it keeps results going strong:

  • Monthly treatments = consistent cell turnover + collagen production

  • Flexibility to rotate facials with the seasons and your skin’s needs

  • Bank two months for bigger treatments (Pico laser, Moxi laser, microneedling) — perfect for quarterly resets
