With endless skincare gadgets, at-home peel kits and influencer-endorsed tools flooding the market, it’s never been easier to bring part of the spa experience into your own bathroom. But while some treatments are safe and effective to do at home, others are best left in the hands of trained professionals. Knowing the difference could mean the difference between glowing results and unwanted side effects.
Below, we’ll walk you through what’s safe to DIY and when it’s time to call in the experts at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa for treatments that deliver real, lasting results.
Safe Treatments to Do at Home
Mild Exfoliation
Gentle exfoliants like enzyme masks, rice powders or low-concentration AHAs (under 10%) are generally safe to use once or twice a week. They can help slough off dead skin cells, smooth texture, and allow better product absorption.
Hydrating Masks
Sheet masks, gel-based masks and sleep masks that contain soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe and ceramides are great for maintaining skin hydration between professional treatments.
Jade Rolling and Gua Sha
These facial massage tools are safe and effective for boosting circulation, reducing puffiness, and enhancing lymphatic drainage—especially when paired with a facial serum or oil.
LED Face Masks (with Caution)
Consumer-grade LED masks are increasingly popular. While they tend to be less powerful than professional systems, they can support skin healing and collagen stimulation with regular use.
Treatments Best Left to the Pros
Chemical Peels
Professional peels use higher concentrations of active acids that deeply exfoliate, resurface and treat skin concerns like melasma, scarring or advanced aging. When done incorrectly at home, peels can lead to burns, hyperpigmentation or long-term damage.
Laser Treatments
Whether it’s IPL, fractional laser or laser hair removal, these tools require expert training and skin assessments to be used safely. Lasers are highly effective but carry risks when not performed by licensed professionals.
Microneedling
DIY microneedling devices have gained popularity, but improper use can lead to scarring, infections or increased sensitivity. At Colair, we use sterile, medical-grade FDA-Approved equipment and tailor each session to your skin’s needs.
Injectables (Botox, Fillers)
Though it may sound obvious, any injectable treatment must be performed by a trained medical professional. Self-administering or using unregulated products poses serious health risks.
