FAQs

What is a facial chair used for?

A facial chair is a type of chair used to provide comfort and support during various spa treatments, such as facials, massages, waxing, or pedicures.

Improved skin tone and texture
Reduced wrinkles
Enhanced relaxation
Improved facial symmetry and contours
Reduce puffiness from sinus pressure or allergies

Massage therapists typically use their hands to perform these treatments, but some also utilize specialized tools like contouring facial rollers, massage rollers, beauty bars, and facial massagers.
