A facial costs $65 to $90 on average, depending on the type. A basic facial costs $35 to $50, while an extensive facial using the latest, cutting-edge technology costs $250. Estheticians typically suggest a treatment based on your skin type, but they also have a menu of facial options to choose from. Most facials follow the same basic steps:

• Consultations
• Cleansing
• Exfoliation
• Extractions
• Massage
• Masks or other treatments

A facial is a skin treatment that cleanses your pores, exfoliates your skin, and treats common issues. The process varies depending on your skin sensitivity and beauty goals. A facial can help heal acne, dryness, aging, and uneven texture.

Most facials take 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. Basic, express facials last closer to 30 minutes.

How often you get a facial depends on your skin type. Most people can tolerate a facial every 3 to 4 weeks, while those with sensitive skin may need to wait longer between appointments. Ask your esthetician or dermatologist how often they recommend facials based on your skin.

The main benefits associated with facials include:

• They are relaxing and help reduce anxiety levels.
• They help with acne and uneven skin texture.
• They combat aging and under-eye bags.
• They encourage skin cell regeneration.

A vampire facial costs $1,100 to $1,400 and is also called a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial. This treatment got its name because it involves using blood during the procedure. Estheticians extract platelet-rich plasma from your blood, which contains growth factors and boosts collagen production.

Vampire facials have been used as a remedy for burns and other wounds for nearly 20 years. It recently became popular as a beauty treatment.

Botox costs $200 to $800 per treatment area on average, but prices can range from as little as $100 to as much as $5,000, depending on the location and the results you're after. Botox typically costs about $10 to $20 per unit, and most areas need between 20 and 40 units. 

Botox is the most popular brand name for botulinum toxin, an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin that relaxes muscles and prevents them from contracting, an effect that lasts about 3 to 5 months for most people and gives the face a more youthful appearance. The FDA-approved dosage is 64 units total for the three main facial areas combined–crow's feet, the forehead, and the "eleven" lines between the eyebrows. If you have deeper wrinkles, however, you may need more units to produce the desired results. 

If you're considering Botox for an event, schedule it a couple of weeks in advance, as the results of the treatment often take 3 to 5 days to become noticeable. This also allows extra time to heal if the treatment caused any bruising, which can sometimes happen.
