Here's a quick summary of some facial treatment options and what you might expect to pay:
1. European Facial: $851
A European facial is great for beginners. It generally consists of deep cleansing; exfoliating; steaming; black/whitehead extraction; and massage with a moisturizer. A European Facial can help treat the following skin conditions: dull skin; clogged pores and breakouts.
2. Hydrafacial: $1752
Three-step process to clean, exfoliate and moisturize or hydrate your skin. A wand is used to deeply clean pores and remove dead cells from the outer layer of skin. The wand also helps deliver problem-targeting serum deep into the skin.
3. LED Light Facial: $553
During an LED light facial, a spa facial specialist will shine heat-free, UV-free red or blue light on your skin. This light helps the cells create more collagen and elastin.
4. Vampire Facial: $1,0004
Dermatologist draws your blood, extract the plasma, and then apply it to your skin through injection or microdermabrasion.
5. Acupuncture Facial: $7005
Fine needles are inserted into the skin (between 40 and 70). The needles create minor wounds under the skin that encourage the body to produce healing proteins (collagen and elastin) to improve the appearance of your skin.
6. Dermaplaning: $1006
Gently scraping away the top layer of dead skin cells from your face with a sharp surgical blade. Removing dead skin can help prevent breakouts and improve your skin's ability to absorb serums and moisturizers.
7. Microdermabrasion: $1757
Aesthetician gently exfoliates the skin and vacuums the dead cells away after cleansing and steaming your face. They may use either a spray and vacuum method or a wand and vacuum method. They will typically apply moisturizer afterward.
8. Chemical Peel: $3758
Acid solution is applied to remove damaged layers of skin to encourage new skin growth. Chemical peels can vary in strength and type – they are used to promote the creation of a larger quantity of collagen and elastin in the skin, leaving smoother, fresher, and healthier skin.
9. Microneedling: $6259
Procedure that involves piercing just below the lowest layer of the skin with tiny, sterilized needles to boost collagen production. Creating tiny superficial wounds in the skin encourages your body to make more collagen and elastin to heal (proteins that help your skin look younger).
10. Oxygen Facial: $75 -$50010
An aesthetician will clean and exfoliate your skin, then use a special wand to apply oxygen. The wand delivers highly pressurized oxygen to your skin which may help brighten skin cells, followed by serum or moisturizer.
The price of facial treatments will depend heavily on where you live, the type of cosmetic expert you work with, and the type and number of procedures you want.
