Facial Frankfurt: Basic, Classic or HydroBoost?

You want to book a facial in Frankfurt but aren't sure whether Basic Facial, Classic Facial or HydroBoost is right for your skin? That's exactly where we come in. In this comparison we show you – honestly, with prices and durations – which facial at Sahel Beauty Frankfurt is the right one for you.

In a nutshell: Basic Facial (30 min, €79) for the entry level and quick cleansing. Classic Facial (45 min, €99) as a monthly skincare routine with peel. HydroBoost (60 min, €139) for dry, dull skin or before events for instant glow. Not sure? Start with a Consultation & Skin Analysis (€49).

Which Facial in Frankfurt Is Right for You?

The short answer: Basic Facial (€79) is the quick cleanse for first-timers, Classic Facial (€99) is the monthly maintenance routine with a peel, and HydroBoost (from €139) is the intensive aquafacial treatment for hydration and glow.

Which treatment suits you best depends on three factors: your skin type, how much time you have and what you want to achieve. For normal, low-maintenance skin, Basic Facial is often enough. If you want a noticeable improvement in skin texture, Classic Facial is the right choice. And if your skin is dry, dull or tired, you'll benefit significantly from HydroBoost.

If you're unsure, start with a Consultation & Skin Analysis – we'll recommend the right treatment so you don't have to guess.

What Is Basic Facial Good For?

Basic Facial is our most streamlined in-studio treatment: 30 minutes, €79, focused entirely on thorough cleansing. Ideal if you're short on time or want to try professional skincare for the first time.

What happens during the treatment? We cleanse your skin in two stages: first a milk cleanser that dissolves make-up, sunscreen and surface impurities, then an enzymatic cleanse that works deeper into the pores. We then apply a soothing toner to stabilise the skin's pH and finish with a moisturising cream. Blocked pores are cleared, sebum and environmental residues are removed – and your skin feels clean, balanced and refreshed.

What we regularly observe in the studio: many clients who book Basic Facial for the first time are surprised by how noticeable the difference is compared to cleansing at home. The professional two-step cleanse removes build-up that even good home products can't fully clear.

Suitable for:

• ✦First-timers wanting to try professional skincare
• ✦Young skin with no specific concerns
• ✦A quick refresh during a lunch break
• ✦A top-up between larger treatments

Recommended frequency: every 2–3 weeks or as a monthly mini-routine. Basic Facial doesn't replace intensive care, but it keeps skin clean and balanced. Full details are on the service page Basic Facial.

What Does Classic Facial Offer as a Monthly Routine?

Classic Facial is our most-booked facial: 45 minutes, €99, with cleansing, a peel and targeted care. This is the classic monthly routine that visibly improves almost every skin type.

Compared to Basic Facial, you also receive an enzyme or fruit acid peel here that gently dissolves dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. The choice between enzyme peel (gentler, for sensitive skin) and fruit acid peel (more intensive, for texture improvement) is made together during the treatment – depending on how your skin responds on that particular day. This is followed by a mask tailored to your skin type: soothing, moisturising or clarifying. The result after a Classic Facial session: smoother texture, a more even complexion and a fresh look that remains noticeably visible for three to five days.

From our studio experience: clients who book Classic Facial every 4–6 weeks report visibly fewer blocked pores and a more even complexion after three months – an effect that home care alone cannot replicate.

Expert Voice: According to the AAD (Exfoliation: How to do it right), regular exfoliation is essential for skin renewal: dead skin cells clog pores and leave the complexion looking dull. Professional exfoliation removes this layer more thoroughly and evenly than at-home peeling products.

Suitable for:

• ✦Combination skin, mildly congested skin, normal skin
• ✦First fine lines and dull patches
• ✦Anyone who wants to establish a consistent skincare routine
• ✦Preparation for events (about a week before)

Recommended frequency: every 4–6 weeks. Classic Facial is the solid middle ground between entry-level and premium. If you want to invest regularly in your skin without going into the highest price bracket, Classic Facial is the best choice.

When Is HydroBoost the Right Choice?

HydroBoost is our premium facial with aquafacial technology: 60 minutes from €139, or 80 minutes as the Deluxe version for €155. Here we combine deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and intensive moisture delivery in one system.

The aquafacial works with a vacuum and active-infusion system: it suctions impurities out of pores while simultaneously driving highly concentrated serums with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. The result is immediately visible – skin looks plumper, fresher and glows from within.

Suitable for:

• ✦Dry, dehydrated or dull skin
• ✦Mature skin with early fine lines and loss of firmness
• ✦Instant glow before a wedding, event or photo shoot
• ✦Sensitive skin that can't tolerate mechanical exfoliation

The Deluxe version (80 min, €155) adds an extra active phase and a longer massage – ideal when you want the full treatment. Full details are on the HydroBoost service page.

Comparison Table: Basic Facial vs Classic Facial vs HydroBoost

Which Treatment Is Right for Whom?

Little time or first-timer → Basic Facial. If you've never had a professional treatment before or simply want 30 minutes of downtime for clean skin, Basic Facial is perfect. Low price, no risk, quick results.

Regular monthly care → Classic Facial. If you want to maintain a good complexion long-term, Classic Facial is the right choice. The peel and mask complement the cleansing meaningfully, and the value for a routine every 4–6 weeks is excellent.

Expert Voice: According to the AAD (10 skin care secrets), a consistent, regular skincare routine is more effective than sporadic intensive treatments. Those who add professional care every 4–6 weeks maintain their complexion at a noticeably higher level than with home care alone.

Dry, dull skin or instant glow → HydroBoost. If your skin feels tight, looks tired or you want to look fresh before an important event, HydroBoost is the clear answer. The aquafacial delivers hydration and glow that you simply can't achieve with standard skincare.

Not sure what suits you? Then a Consultation & Skin Analysis is the right first step – we measure moisture, sebum and texture and recommend the right treatment for you.

How Much Does Each Facial Cost in Frankfurt?

• ✦Basic Facial: €79 (30 min)
• ✦Classic Facial: €99 (45 min)
• ✦HydroBoost: €139 (60 min)
• ✦HydroBoost Deluxe: €155 (80 min)

The step up from Basic to Classic costs €20 extra but gains you a peel and mask – in our experience the best value upgrade available. The step from Classic to HydroBoost costs a further €40 and is justified when you genuinely need more visible moisture and glow. The Deluxe version at €155 is most worthwhile before special occasions.

All prices apply at our studio in Frankfurt am Main. If you're booking regularly, feel free to ask us about our ongoing care programmes.
