Your face deserves special treatment once in a while. After all, there’s only so much that your at-home skincare routine can do to rejuvenate your skin. Professional spa treatments can leave your skin looking more youthful, while also helping you relax.

It’s easy to get confused when trying to choose a facial type. Here, we’ll explain all the most common spa facial treatments, and what skin concerns they’re best for.

1. European Facial

A European facial is the most basic type of treatment you can get. So, if you’re new to spa facials, this is the perfect entry-level treatment.

European facials focus on the overall wellbeing of your face. After your face receives a steaming treatment to break up any dirt lodged in your pores, your aesthetician will exfoliate and cleanse your face. This is typically followed by a massage, mask, and some hydrating cream.

2. Oxygen Facial

Oxygen facials can tackle many skin concerns, including fine lines, facial redness, and dull skin. During an oxygen facial, your aesthetician will use an airbrush-like device that sprays concentrated oxygen directly onto your skin. The air contains essential minerals that plump and brighten your skin.

3. Microdermabrasion

If you choose to go with a microdermabrasion treatment, your aesthetician will use a wand that sprays extremely fine crystals onto your skin. Depending on the spa you choose, the wand might have a tip made of diamond that also buffs your skin.

Microdermabrasion works to strip your skin of dead skin cells, and provides deep exfoliation. This will have your skin feeling smoother than ever!

4. LED Light Facial

LED light therapy is perfect for anyone who suffers from acne, and can also benefit someone with aging skin. This treatment uses the power of LED light to penetrate the layers of your skin. A blue light will kill acne-causing bacteria, while a red light firms your skin by promoting the growth of collagen and elastin.

5. Acupuncture Facial

The thought of having tons of needles in your face might not sound too appealing, but in the end, your skin will thank you. An acupuncture facial actually has many benefits—when the needles get inserted into your face, your skin will react by producing more collagen and increasing blood flow to your face. In turn, this can lessen the look of wrinkles, brighten your face, and help reduce acne.

6. Vampire Facial

A vampire facial definitely isn’t for the faint of heart, but it rose in popularity thanks to Kim Kardashian’s vampiric post on Instagram. This procedure involves having your own blood drawn, and then having that vial of blood placed into a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

The PRP then gets injected back into your skin. Although this process might sound gruesome, it’s known to fill in wrinkles, fade acne scars, and plump up your skin.

7. Dermaplaning

Dead skin cells and peach fuzz are two things that no one wants on their face. Luckily, dermaplaning works to remove both of these nuisances, giving you smooth and glowing skin.

During treatment, a skincare expert will lightly rub a scalpel across your face. Not only will you notice the softness of your skin after treatment, but your makeup will also better absorb into your skin.

8. Microneedling

While you might see microneedling tools available online, it’s best to have a professional do this treatment for you. Microneedling consists of a dermaroller that’s covered in tiny needles.

As the dermaroller passes over your face, the needles will lightly prick into your skin. These minuscule injuries spur collagen regrowth, leading to firm and even skin.

Which Skin Treatment Is Right for You?

Keep in mind that you won’t always see instant results following these treatments. Depending on the type of facial you receive, it might take two or more sessions to get the results you’re looking for.

There’s nothing wrong with the occasional spa day. In between treatments, make sure you know how to wash your face without ruining your skin.
