Facial FAQs

How much does a facial treatment cost?

The cost of facials vary according to the type you book and where you book it, however in Sonkring, you're likely to pay anywhere from ZAR 320 to ZAR 1,100.

Are there facial providers open on Sunday near me?

Yes, many facial providers are open on Sundays. Browse Fresha to find therapists near you with Sunday availability.

What are the different types of facials available?

There are many different types of facial including chemical peels, hydrafacials, lymphatic drainage, microdermabrasion, extractions and LED facials. Some treatments may incorporate different aspects of different facials.

How often should I get a facial?

Dermatologists recommend having facials once a month. Skin cells are in a constant state of regeneration because they naturally die and regenerate once every 4 weeks (not all at the same time, of course).

What should I expect during a facial treatment?

It varies according to the type of facial you’ve booked, but it’s likely to begin with a cleanse and steam, followed by an exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells. If you’ve booked an extraction (to unblock clogged pores) this will come next, followed by a massage to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, then a mask. Your facial will end with an application of toner and a moisturising serum or cream.

How much does a facial cost?

A standard facial typically costs between ZAR 320 and ZAR 1,100 per session. Advanced facials (like HydraFacials or LED facials) are priced higher. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

What are the benefits of regular facials?

Regular facials keep skin deeply cleansed, exfoliated, and hydrated. They can improve skin texture, reduce congestion, manage acne, slow signs of ageing, and maintain overall skin health. A qualified therapist will recommend a frequency based on your skin type.
