This is an era of beauty. After people solve their life problems, they start to pursue self-satisfaction. For example, they try to please themselves by dressing up beautifully, first with beautiful clothes and then with beautiful makeup. But as they age, in order to smooth out the traces of time on their cheeks, people start to use skin care products to keep their skin firm and maintain a relatively young appearance. Skin care products continue to develop with the emergence of new technologies, gradually changing the way facial care is done. For those who pursue radiant and youthful skin, these facial treatments can help solve specific skin problems such as facial acne, acne-prone skin, and aging. Especially in this era of advanced science and technology, the application of technology and medicine in beauty is more common. Beauty salons, spas, and beauty hospitals are everywhere, and beauty-centered places are constantly developing, providing a wide range of services for people who pursue beauty.

In this article, let's take a look at the most popular facial treatments in 2024 and the benefits they can bring to you.

1. Hydrafacials

Hydrafacials remain one of the most popular facials in 2024, and are widely loved and admired for their ability to deeply cleanse the skin, effectively moisturize, and exfoliate the face - all in one session. According to the latest data, Hydrafacials have steadily increased in demand in the market due to their non-invasive nature and their remarkable effectiveness on all skin types. Unlike traditional facials, this treatment uses a specialized machine to deliver a customizable blend of serums while removing dead skin cells.

Benefits: Regular HydraFacials can improve skin health in the long term, and can also make the skin glow and work to minimize skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, pore size, oily skin, and congestion. Common problems like these can be effectively improved with HydraFacials.

Why it’s Trending: Customers love the instantly visible results. HydraFacials are a popular treatment in part because of the minimal side effects on the human body. Another big reason for its popularity is that there is no need to rest after the treatment, so there is no need to leave work or social life. It is normal to have a small amount of redness and swelling after the HydraFacial treatment, but this will not last long. Most notably, there is sometimes a small amount of irritation, which may take the next day to completely subside. However, most people will only notice that their skin has indeed improved, which is its most significant effect. People can get very fast and obvious returns by taking minimal risks, which is an important factor in the public's acceptance and promotion.

2024 Trends: With the development of the medical beauty and pharmaceutical industries, more and more enhanced serums are constantly launched, and their effects vary. They are very targeted, such as special wrinkle removal or special spot lightening products. Therefore, Hydrafacial can now provide more personalized services for specific skin problems such as pigmentation and acne, and can serve different customer groups more efficiently. Therefore, Hydrafacial is increasingly recommended and used at the moment.

2. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remain an essential part of skincare because they deeply exfoliate and address pigmentation and fine lines. In 2024, new formulas will allow chemical peels to be used on a wider range of skin types, including sensitive skin. This facial uses acids such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid to peel off the outer layer of the skin, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. For mild or moderate peels, you may need to perform the procedure multiple times to achieve the desired results.

Benefits: Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, skin discoloration, and scars, usually as a facial. Here are 8 benefits: Improves skin color, clarity, tone, and texture; Stimulates the growth of new collagen and healthy skin cells for a radiant complexion; Reduces discoloration caused by sun damage; Helps clear acne; Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles; Increases skin hydration; Addresses visible skin blemishes and superficial scars; Makes at-home skincare products more effective because exfoliation removes multiple layers of skin buildup and blockages, allowing products to penetrate deeper into the skin. At the same time, chemical peels can be performed alone or in combination with other beauty projects for more efficient treatment. They are performed in different degrees according to different needs, from light to deep. Deeper chemical peels have more significant effects, but the recovery time is also longer.

Why it’s Trending: This project can choose the peel intensity from light to deep, making this treatment suitable for both short-term radiance and long-term skin rejuvenation. Chemical peels are popular because they are relatively cheap compared to other treatments, and they do not cause obvious irritation to the skin. The usage is scientific and gentle, and is recognized by people. Some skin brightening and smoothing technologies can cost thousands of dollars per treatment and take a long time to recover. Many peels can be performed during lunch breaks, allowing you to return to work with a fresh and bright face.

2024 Trends: The concept of ecological care is becoming more and more popular. When performing related care on the face, people tend to choose green and gentle products, and chemical peels are one of the options. Gentle, non-irritating formulas containing glycolic acid have also become a favorite for sensitive skin. It is this skin type's requirements and use of care products that have expanded the appeal of chemical peels.

3. Microneedling with Radiofrequency

Radio frequency (RF) microneedling has surged in popularity this year as a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. RF microneedling devices use specially insulated needles to deliver high-intensity RF energy to targeted tissues beneath the skin. The procedure delivers an even heating effect to deep tissues, helping to stimulate new collagen fiber growth (leading to significant improvements in skin quality and texture). The result is minimal (or no) downtime and virtually painless treatments that can significantly improve wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity.

Benefits: RF microneedling has many benefits for the skin. Many of these benefits come from the collagen produced by this dual treatment. For example: smoother, firmer skin; more even skin tone and reduced pigmentation; brighter, younger-looking skin; smaller, firmer pores; reduced visibility of acne scars and other scars; and improved skin texture. Many of these improvements come from collagen production, so the combination of microneedling and RF energy can produce better results than either alone.

Why it’s Trending: It’s a top choice for clients who want to improve skin texture without downtime. Microneedling is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types. Certain skin types are more susceptible to darkening from harsh procedures like deep chemical peels or laser resurfacing. That’s not the case with microneedling. Studies have shown that it still scores 99% for safety and effectiveness even 150 days after treatment. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency is particularly effective in treating the deeper layers of the skin, making it ideal for aging skin

2024 Trends: The radiofrequency microneedling market is experiencing significant growth due to the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures in the aesthetic and dermatology fields. Patients are seeking non-surgical alternatives to address a variety of skin issues, such as wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Radiofrequency microneedling, which combines traditional microneedling with the application of radiofrequency energy, has emerged as an effective solution, driving its popularity in the market. One of the key drivers of the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures is the shift in patient preferences.

4. LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy has evolved from an adjunct therapy to a must-have treatment for skin problems. LED light therapy treats a variety of skin conditions and problems, such as acne, fine lines, and psoriasis. There are different types, including red light LED therapy and blue light LED therapy, which are the most commonly used of LED light therapy, and sometimes the two are used in combination. They are easily absorbed by the skin and do not contain harmful UV rays. Red light is used to treat the outermost layer of the skin, also known as the epidermis. When this layer of skin absorbs infrared light, fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen are stimulated. The increase in collagen can make the skin look smoother, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Blue light, on the other hand, targets the oil glands located deeper in the skin. By reducing the amount of oil produced by these glands, the skin becomes drier, thereby reducing acne breakouts.

Benefits: LED light therapy can treat acne; reduce fine lines; help wounds heal; and can be used by people of all skin types and skin tones. LED light therapy does not use ultraviolet (UV) light, so it does not damage or burn the skin.

Why it’s Trending: LED light therapy is non-invasive, so there are few risks and no downtime, making it ideal for busy clients who want radiant skin on the go. It can be used on all skin types without burning the skin. Additionally, LED light therapy is painless. However, in rare cases, treatment of an area may not be recommended, such as an active rash or the use of Accutane.

2024 Trends: Light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy has recently gained traction in the healthcare space. Not only are more medical facilities incorporating LED light therapy into their services, but the widespread availability of the devices has made it easier for consumers to use them at home. At-home LED masks are becoming increasingly popular, but professional treatments still offer more dramatic results due to higher power levels.

5. Cryotherapy Facials

Cryotherapy facials have become one of the most cutting-edge treatments of 2024. Japanese rheumatologist Dr. Toshima Yamaguchi is credited as the developer of the technique. He primarily used this technique to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Soon, the benefits of cryotherapy extended beyond arthritis. It has proven beneficial in treating inflammation, psoriasis, and tissue pain. It is also used as an effective anti-aging treatment that effectively rejuvenates the skin. Cryotherapy works by exposing the skin to extremely low temperatures. This facial helps reduce puffiness, boosts blood circulation, and tightens the skin. Cryotherapy facials are becoming increasingly popular among those seeking a natural face lift without invasive procedures.

Benefits: It helps improve atopic dermatitis symptoms; It helps reduce acne. Exposing sebaceous glands to temperatures of -8° Celsius reduces the number of sebocytes (cells that produce sebum), preventing excessive sebum secretion; Improves blood circulation; The low temperatures of cryotherapy promote pore minimization by tightening the pores. This prevents dirt and bacteria from accumulating in the pores.

Why it’s Trending: This facial doesn't require any extractions or deep cleansing of the skin, and the immediate tightening and brightening effects make cryotherapy facials an attractive option for those who want a quick, noticeable lift. Plus, it's painless and requires no recovery time.

2024 Trends: Cryotherapy and cryofacials have grown in popularity in recent years, with celebrities swearing by the cold beauty treatment as red carpet-ready and skincare experts touting its many benefits for the skin. The combination of cryotherapy with systemic treatments has increased demand for its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits. But if you're new to it, there are a few things you should know before getting a cryofacial. Check out the infographic below to learn how to properly prepare for a cryotherapy treatment.
