If you’re looking to spice up your beauty routine, we’ve got a few treatments that are super whacky. And we mean whacky in the best way possible. From a vampire facial that uses blood from your own arm to a vibrating speaker, don’t miss out on these quirky offerings.
Blood Facial
Coined the “Vampire Facial” by Kim Kardashian, the Blood Facial has become a super popular facial rejuvenation treatment. In a nutshell, platelet rich plasma (aka PRP) is extracted from the patient’s arm and spun to separate out platelets from plasma from the red blood cells. The PRP is then smoothed over the face via a micro-needling device, which helps produce new collagen. The result? Noticeably reduced wrinkles and fine lines in 4-6 weeks post procedure.
Try it at Miami Institute for Age Management and Intervention (the same spot where Kim Kardashian received this treatment).

The 50-minute cocoon treatment offers dry heat therapy, a healing infrared light, duel-wave full body massage, aromatherapy, detoxification, and calorie burning effects, all in one.

Rhythm and Motion Face the Music
Music lovers, rejoice. Hard Rock Hotels, which are music-centric, have released a series of music-inspired treatments. Our favorite, the Rhythm and Motion Face the Music, is a sound vibration-based facial. The massage therapist synchronizes movements to the curated playlist — and you can actually feel the speakers vibrate on your skin. Take a sensory journey all while getting glowing, rejuvenated skin.
Try Rhythm & Motion at select Hard Rock Hotel locations, including Palm Springs, Ibiza, and more!
Lace Your Face Facial
Dermovia Co-Founder, Anita Sun, discovered while working as a medical esthetician that layering knit cotton gauze and bandage compression was a great combination in healing wounded skin. Her range of Dermovia Lace Your Face facial masks are equipped with similar LaceTex Technology, which is a blend of “high-performance wearable compression fabric embedded with a beneficial treatment solution for the skin.” From brightening to hydrating and everything in between, there’s a mask to cater to every skin concern!

Galvanic Facial Treatment
Emmy Rossum, amongst many other A-list celebrities, flock to Face Place’s skilled estheticians for their Galvanic Facial Treatment — which is also referred to as the Hannibal Lecter treatment. It’s a no frills clinical approach to gorgeous, glowing skin. It involves a deep cleansing of the skin (including the best extractions ever!), a galvanic current to tighten and firm, and an awesome anti-aging skin cocktail made of zinc and vitamin C.
Try it at Face Place locations in New York, Los Angeles, and London
