Here are the top facials in the City of Angels used by the stars (and the rest of us who want to look and feel great).
LessWhat to get: Triple Crown Facial. This facial includes microdermabrasion, microcurrent and oxygen-infusion therapies that scrub, lift and tone the skin. Microdermabrasion works like gentle sandpaper to smooth and even out skin by removing the top layer. In microcurrent therapy, practitioners use handheld devices to send tiny electrical currents through the muscles and skin; the idea is that the painless current will build up muscles in the face, lifting and tightening the skin. $250
What to get: Rose Quartz Goddess Facial. Caglia blends botanical cleansers, serums to brighten the skin and anti-wrinkle moisturizers from her own skin care line. She also performs extractions and uses cryo (extremely cold) treatments, all with a large, reassuringly heavy rose quartz mat draped on your chest. The mat is supposed to reduce puffiness in your body and calm your mind while the freezing cold handheld rollers reduces puffiness. $550
What to get: Platinum Signature Facial. Somerville’s signature facial is comprehensive, to say the least. It includes a double cleanse, extractions if they are needed, the application of jelly masks to hydrate and plump the skin, oxygen treatments for even more plumping and hydrating, and a deeply relaxing neck and shoulder massage. There’s even more: The facial includes the ever-popular high frequency microcurrent treatment, plus ultrasound treatments that temporarily tighten the skin. $295
What to get: The Valmont Facial**.** This treatment from the luxury Swiss skin care line takes place in the gardens of the secluded Hotel Bel-Air. Blended with more than a dozen products from Valmont’s signature line—including the best-selling honey-gold eye gel—it includes a massage technique that is meant to clear and detoxify; a cellular collagen mask for face, eyes, neck and décolleté; and LED and microcurrent technology. $1,000
What to get: Divine Light Facial**.** Leah Avigdori’s signature facial is perfect for those who love combining spiritual and mental wellness with external treatments. It is inspired by ancient traditions and rituals; she uses chakra balancing with pressure points, crystals, meditation and sound baths from Tibetan Singing Bowls, which can have a transporting effect on the nervous system. $375
What to get: Cryo Medi Lift**.** Face Gym is supposed to be like a gym—where regularly scheduled workouts are a must—but for your face. The idea is that if you constantly stimulate and lift the muscles deep in your face, they’ll stay lifted. The Cryo Medi Lift is a signature “workout” where the “trainer” stands behind you and combines deep massage all over your cheeks and jaw with foam balls, eye masks and neck and shoulder massages to boost circulation and decrease tension. $250
What to get: MicrO2. This is particular is good for clients who want to reduce puffiness, balance skin tone and iron out signs of aging. It focuses on reducing redness and dull skin to even out pigmentation and reduce frown lines. It starts with a cleanse followed by some microdermabrasion and then goes to a thorough oxygen treatment using special masks, which include such components as sea algae and collagen to encourage new skin cells to grow. $290
