What is Halotherapy and what will it do for me?
Dry salt therapy (halotherapy) acts to cleanse the respiratory system and the skin, which helps to relieve congestion, inflammation, and skin conditions. It is a natural, drug-free, non-invasive treatment that utilizes a halogenerator to grind, crush, and disperse micron-sized particles of pharmaceutical grade salt into the room to help aid respiratory and skin concerns.
​Dry salt acts like a sponge attracting foreign substances along its path through the respiratory tract. Imagine the dry salt behaving like a toothbrush that cleans the respiratory system, removing the build-up of foreign elements that cause various respiratory ailments and conditions. Inhaled dry salt particles may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages, naturally resulting in higher oxygen intake, increased energy, and an improved immune system. The dry salt particles act as an anti-bacterial agent, dissolving bacteria and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract. These are then either coughed up or naturally expelled by the body.
Halotherapy benefits adults and children alike, as well as athletes and animals. It is natural and safe and there are no side effects. According to the Salt Therapy Association (STA), many people who undergo halotherapy as a complementary treatment on a regular basis may find relief from a variety of conditions such as:
-
Asthma
-
Chronic Bronchitis
-
Coughs, Colds & Flu Emphysema

What makes the LaVida Hydrafacial different?The LaVida Hydrafacial is different because we include additional "spa" services to our 45 min treatment. We include a customized double cleanse, skin analysis and relaxing shoulder and décolletage massage. Facial Lymphatic Therapy is also included with every Hydrafacial.
-
How many Hydrafacials will I need?Many clients report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer. We don’t believe in quick fixes, so one treatment per month is recommended to maintain skin health results.

Can I get a Hydrafacial right after injectable or filler?You must wait 2 weeks after filler or any injectables to get a Hydrafacial at LaVida.
-
Can I get a Hydrafacial any time of year?YES! While we never encourage being in the sun without SPF, Hydrafacial can be performed even in the summer - so you can get regular hydrafacials all year long! *Can not be performed on sunburned skin.
-
Can anyone get a Hydrafacial?Those with active skin conditions such as severe eczema, rosacea, or open wounds should consult with a dermatologist before proceeding. Overall, Hydrafacial’s gentle yet effective approach ensures that it remains a safe and popular choice for most skin types to achieve healthier, glowing skin. If you use injectables or fillers, you must wait at least 2 weeks prior to receiving a Hydrafacial. Please note that all treatments are at the discretion of our Esthetician. You will not be charged if your Esthetician decides that a treatment is unsafe or inappropriate.
