If you're looking for a beauty spa that looks as gorgeous as you will after an elite facial, Kailo Medispa is for you. Located inside the Calile Hotel (so you can just imagine the level of aesthetics), this award-winning spa offers options upon options when it comes to skin rejuvenating facials.
If you're struggling to choose, we recommend the 45-minute Hydrate and Heal facial, a restorative treatment using HydraFacial’s Vortex-Fusion technology to cleanse, hydrate and infuse antioxidants, followed by LED light therapy to reduce inflammation and a targeted mask to strengthen and rebalance the skin barrier.

You might know of Browskii for their talented brow-shaping experts, but this stunning Newstead beauty bar does a rave-worthy facial too. There's a few different options on the menu, but the one to book is their signature Lymphatic Facial (which comes in Level 1 and Level 2).
Get comfy ensconced in one of their dreamy treatment rooms and you'll be treated to a clenase, probiotic mask, facial sculpting using a GUA Sha to release facial tension and lymphatic blockages followed by ice globes, and finally, LED therapy and a hydrating mask. We walked out literally glowing.
Skin Spa Medispa
2/20 Stewart Road, Ashgrove
Skin Spa Medispa's unique approach to facials means you won't just book in for a certain type of facial once a month; instead, you'll be taken through a multi-step approach, with different courses of action depending on your skin concerns.
It all starts with a 'cleanse and prep' facial, to really decongest those pores and slather on some serums for a serious vitamin boost. With your face prepped, you can book in for the next step, a microdermabrasion facial to polish your skin to perfection. Want more? Next up is the Rezenerate™ Nano Facial, a patented treatment direct from the US. You can stop there or keep going—either way, you'll have glowing skin in no time.

Got acne or scarring and want to treat your skin? This clinic also offers DMK Enzyme Therapy which addresses skin on a cellular level to improve functionality.
Australian Skin Clinics
Various locations
Whilst Australian Skin Clinics are pros at a whole range of treatments and services, it's their signature HydraFacial that gets them rave reviews.
Getting results in just 30 minutes, you'll walk out with your pores cleared and your skin nourished after an infusion of intense serums. We didn't even know our pores could be so gunked up until our therapist showed us what she'd sucked out—our t-zone has never looked clearer.

Brisbane Beauty Bar is famous for its eyebrow sculpting and nails, but did you know that they also offer incredible facials, too? Grab a 30-minute Alpha H Express Facial if you’re short on time (perfect for a skin pick-me-up), otherwise completely unwind with the Alpha H Iconic Facial.

Cosmetic Image Clinics
70d Mary Street, Brisbane CBD
Award-winning Brisbane skin clinic, Cosmetic Image Clinics are known to offer some of the best facials in Brisbane. Feeling brave enough to give your beauty regimen extra oomph? Book an appointment for the Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, aka the famous ‘Vampire Facial’. It involves blood being drawn from the client and spun around in a special centrifuge. The blood separates and a layer of plasma, super rich in collagen-boosting platelets is formed before being re-injected into the skin for an instant facelift!
Favoured by Hollywood celebrities including Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian, this facial isn’t for the faint-hearted, but it can improve texture, tone, fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, eyes, hands and décolletage.
Ascension Cosmetic Medicine
170 Merthyr Road, New Farm

At this luxe beauty hub you can try the facial celebs like Hailey Bieber, Naomi Campbell, and Kim Kardashian use to get red carpet-ready—and it's the only place in Queensland where you can. Ascension Cosmetic Medicine has partnered with Augustinus Bader, one of the world’s most cult-followed skincare brands, to bring us their famed (and celeb loved) Method Facials.
Combining the the brand’s renowned Trigger Factor Complex 8 (TFC8®) with fascia massage steps and science-based formulas, this 60 or 80 minute-long treatment will revitalise your skin and leverage your body’s natural renewal process to leave you with a radiant and healthy complexion. With prices starting at $590, it's on the pricier side, but what wouldn't we pay for skin like Hailey Bieber's?
LaDiDa Beauty Co
52 Dean Street, Toowong
If you’re not quite ready to take the leap into ‘vampire facials’ but want to step your beauty game up a level, then dermal rolling is the way to go. Also known as skin needling, this treatment, available at LaDiDa Beauty Co, uses a little roller with tiny surgical needles on it to penetrate the outer layer of your skin causing collagen to rush to the surface and start working its magic.
Not only can it diminish wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and other skin irregularities, it will also help all your skin products absorb. It’s basically like aerating your lawn so all the water sinks in.
