Types of Facials and What They Cost

Each facial at Lavish Beauty serves a different purpose. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you get at every price point:

Express Facial

$69

Duration: 30 minutes  |  Best for: Busy schedules, maintenance between full facials, lunchtime glow-up

Our Express Facial is a streamlined treatment that covers the essentials: cleansing, light exfoliation, targeted serum application, and moisturizer with SPF. It's perfect for clients who want to maintain their skin between deeper treatments or anyone who needs a quick refresh before an event. No extractions or masks are included at this level, keeping the session fast and efficient.

Signature Facial

$109

Duration: 60 minutes  |  Best for: General skincare maintenance, first-time facial clients

Our most popular facial and the best overall value. The Signature Facial includes double cleansing, professional exfoliation, steam, manual extractions, a customized mask, facial massage, serum, and moisturizer. This comprehensive treatment addresses the needs of most skin types and leaves you with visibly clearer, smoother, more radiant skin. It's the ideal monthly maintenance facial.

Custom Facial

$149–$189

Duration: 60–75 minutes  |  Best for: Specific skin concerns, acne, sensitivity, congestion

The Custom Facial is fully tailored to your specific skin concerns. Your esthetician selects every product and technique based on a thorough skin analysis. This may include enzyme peels, targeted serums, high-frequency treatment, LED light therapy, or specialized masks. The price varies based on the complexity and products used. This is an excellent choice for clients with acne, rosacea, or combination skin that needs targeted attention.

Anti-Aging Facial

$169

Duration: 75 minutes  |  Best for: Fine lines, loss of firmness, dullness, mature skin

This results-driven facial focuses on anti-aging concerns using peptide-rich serums, collagen-boosting masks, and lifting massage techniques. It includes gentle exfoliation to promote cell turnover, targeted eye area treatment, and intensive hydration. Ideal for clients in their 30s and beyond who want to slow visible signs of aging with professional-grade ingredients.

HydraFacial Signature

$199

Duration: 30 minutes  |  Best for: Instant glow, deep hydration, all skin types, events

The HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate at a level that manual facials cannot match. In just 30 minutes, you get deep pore cleansing, gentle acid peel, painless suction extractions, and antioxidant/hyaluronic acid infusion. Zero downtime — you can apply makeup immediately and return to your day with glowing skin.

HydraFacial Platinum

$299

Duration: 45–60 minutes  |  Best for: Maximum results, hyperpigmentation, anti-aging, special occasions

Our premium facial experience. Everything in the Signature HydraFacial plus targeted booster serums (brightening, anti-aging, or clarifying), LED light therapy, extended lymphatic drainage massage, and premium peptide complex infusion. This is the treatment to book before your wedding, major event, or whenever you want the absolute best results from a single session.

Which Facial Is Right for Your Budget?

Choosing the right facial depends on your skin goals, the results you want, and how much you're comfortable investing. Here are our recommendations by budget:

Budget-Friendly: $69–$109/month

Start with a monthly Signature Facial ($109) for comprehensive maintenance, or alternate between Express Facials ($69) for quick upkeep and occasional deeper treatments. At $109/month, you invest $1,308/year in professional skincare — less than many people spend on products alone. This level keeps skin clean, balanced, and healthy.

Mid-Range: $149–$199/month

If you have specific concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or early aging, the Custom Facial ($149–$189) or HydraFacial Signature ($199) deliver targeted results. The HydraFacial is especially valuable because its Vortex-Fusion technology delivers active ingredients deeper than any manual facial. Annual investment: $1,788–$2,388.

Premium: $169–$299/month

For those seeking the best possible results, the Anti-Aging Facial ($169) or HydraFacial Platinum ($299) provide the most advanced treatments available. Many premium clients alternate between these two — the Anti-Aging Facial for deep nourishment and the Platinum HydraFacial for technology-driven results. Annual investment: $2,028–$3,588.

Pro tip: You don't have to choose just one type. Many of our clients rotate between different facials based on how their skin feels each month. A Signature Facial one month and a HydraFacial the next is a popular combination that delivers variety and consistent results.

How Often Should You Get a Facial?

The right facial frequency depends on your skin type, concerns, and budget. Here are our general recommendations:

Recommended Facial Frequency

General maintenance (healthy skin)Monthly (every 4–6 weeks)
Active acne or congestionBi-weekly (every 2 weeks)
Anti-aging and firmnessMonthly
Budget-conscious maintenanceQuarterly (every 3 months)
Pre-event glow3–5 days before the event

Monthly Facial Cost Planning

Monthly Express Facial

$69/month = $828/year

Monthly Signature Facial

$109/month = $1,308/year

Monthly HydraFacial Signature

$199/month = $2,388/year

Quarterly Signature Facial

$109 × 4 = $436/year

Any consistent facial routine is better than none — start where you can

Monthly facials align with your skin's natural 28-day cell turnover cycle, making each session more effective. That said, even quarterly facials provide meaningful benefits compared to no professional treatments. The most important thing is consistency — pick a frequency you can maintain and stick with it.

Med Spa Facials vs Day Spa Facials: Price and Value Comparison

You'll find facials at both med spas and day spas in Calgary, but the experience, products, and results are very different. Here is how they compare:

Day Spa Facials

$80–$150 typical range

  • • Focus on relaxation and pampering
  • • Consumer-grade skincare products
  • • Basic cleansing, exfoliation, and masks
  • • Results last 1–2 days
  • • Limited ability to address specific concerns
  • • Esthetician training varies widely

Med Spa Facials (Lavish Beauty)

$69–$299 at Lavish Beauty

  • • Focus on measurable skin improvement
  • • Clinical-grade products and serums
  • • Advanced technology (HydraFacial, LED, peels)
  • • Results last 2–4 weeks
  • • Targeted treatments for specific concerns
  • • Licensed estheticians with clinical training

While a day spa facial feels wonderful in the moment, a med spa facial delivers results that continue improving your skin for weeks after treatment. The clinical-grade ingredients used at Lavish Beauty penetrate deeper and work more effectively than consumer-grade alternatives.

Consider this: a $120 day spa facial that provides 1–2 days of visible benefit costs $60/day of results. A $199 HydraFacial at Lavish Beauty that delivers 3–4 weeks of improvement costs less than $10/day of results. In terms of cost per day of visible improvement, med spa facials are significantly better value.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with a relaxing day spa facial as an occasional treat. But if your goal is genuine, lasting improvement in your skin's health and appearance, a med spa facial is the smarter investment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Costs

What is the difference between a med spa and a day spa facial?

Med spa facials use clinical-grade products and advanced technologies (HydraFacial, LED, chemical peels) for measurable skin improvement.

Most facials are considered cosmetic and are not covered by Alberta Health Care or private insurance. Some employer Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) may reimburse facial treatments. If you have a medical skin condition, consult your physician about potential coverage.

Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin?

Absolutely. At Lavish Beauty, every facial is customized to your skin type. For sensitive skin, we adjust product selection, avoid aggressive exfoliation, and use calming, fragrance-free formulations. The HydraFacial is particularly well-suited for sensitive skin, as the gentle Vortex-Fusion technology cleanses and hydrates without irritation.
