Body treatments continue to grow in popularity as clients take a more complete approach to skincare. From firming loose skin and improving uneven texture to reducing unwanted hair, advanced treatments can address concerns from the neck down while creating valuable new opportunities for therapists.
Why Body Treatments Are Trending in 2026
Skincare no longer stops at the face. In 2026, clients are increasingly investing in treatments and products for areas such as the neck, hands, arms, stomach, back, legs and feet. Here is how you can respond to the growing demand for body skincare in your salon.
Why Are Body Treatments So Popular?
Clients are becoming more aware that many of the concerns they experience on the face can also affect the body. Dryness, uneven texture, pigmentation, unwanted hair and loose skin can all influence how confident someone feels. Body treatments allow therapists to offer more personalised solutions while increasing the number of areas and concerns they can treat. They can also support stronger client retention by creating opportunities for courses, combination treatments and ongoing maintenance.
Make Body SPF Part of the Conversation
Daily sun protection is an important part of looking after exposed areas of the body, not just the face. The neck, chest and hands can be particularly vulnerable to the visible effects of UV exposure. Encourage clients to apply SPF to any exposed skin and make sun protection part of your treatment aftercare advice.
Don’t Forget the Face
At SkinBase, there are two easy options for keeping the skin protected from the sun:
- SkinBase Daily Repair & Protect combines moisturiser with SPF 30, making it ideal for clients who prefer a simple morning routine.
- Daily Protect SPF for clients who prefer separate protection, this SPF 30 protection can be applied as the final step after moisturiser.
Recommending the right product helps clients protect their skin between appointments while giving you an additional retail opportunity.
Collagen Lift Body Treatments
Body treatments are trending as everyone is realising they can banish skin concerns wherever they are on the body. SkinBase Collagen Lift is not limited to facial treatments. Radio frequency can also be used on areas of the body where clients would like the skin to appear firmer, smoother and more toned. Popular treatment areas include:
- Stomach
- Upper arms
- Thighs
- Bottom
- Hands
- Neck and décolletage
By promoting Collagen Lift as both a face and body treatment, you can help clients discover options they may not have realised were available. A consultation will allow you to identify their concerns and recommend a suitable treatment plan.
Microdermabrasion Body Treatments
Microdermabrasion is another versatile treatment that can be used beyond the face. Its exfoliating action helps remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Body Microdermabrasion can be offered for:
- Dry, rough skin on the feet
- Dull or uneven-looking hands
- Congested skin on the back
- Uneven texture and tone
- The appearance of stretch marks
- Areas of sun-exposed pigmentation
You could offer Microdermabrasion as a standalone body treatment or use it to enhance an existing service. An MD Pedi, hand treatment or back facial can introduce clients to Microdermabrasion in a new and appealing way.
IPL Body Treatments
Unwanted hair remains one of the most common reasons clients invest in IPL body treatments. IPL hair reduction can offer a longer-term alternative to repeated shaving and waxing, helping clients enjoy greater convenience and confidence. IPL Advanced can also be used to improve the appearance of concerns such as:
- Sun-induced pigmentation
- Redness and visible vessels
- Uneven-looking skin
- Signs of skin ageing
- Blemish-prone skin
Every client will require a thorough consultation and patch test before treatment. A personalised course should then be recommended according to their concern, skin suitability and treatment goals.
How to Promote Body Treatments in Your Salon
Clients will only book body treatments if they know you offer them. Make the possibilities clear across your website, consultation process and social media. Try:
- Sharing a different body treatment area each week
- Creating seasonal packages without limiting promotion to summer
- Discussing body concerns during facial consultations (if appropriate)
- Photographing suitable before-and-after results with consent
- Offering combination treatments for related concerns
- Explaining the benefits of a course and ongoing maintenance
- Recommending appropriate homecare and SPF
Avoid focusing solely on achieving a “summer body”. Body treatments can help clients care for their skin and feel more confident at any time of year.
