5 Of The Most Popular Beauty Treatments Right Now

In the 1990s, the hot beauty treatments included hair crimping, tanning booths, streaky blonde highlights, and hot mud baths. In the early- to mid-2000s, the most popular beauty treatments included Brazilian waxes, Keratin treatments, and body wraps.

Our point? Trends come and go, and so do the popularity of beauty treatments.

Now that you've had a flashback of yourself crimping your hair and applying brown lipstick with blue eyeshadow (the 90s and early 2000s were rough times for a lot of us fashion-wise), you probably want to make sure you're not falling behind on the trends. You might be wondering, "what are the most popular beauty treatments in 2019?"

We'll go over 5 of them here! Let's get started.

1. Microblading
Eyebrow microblading is a semi-permanent brow shaping technique that involves using tiny needles to place pigment in the skin around your brows to create a full and natural brow design.

One reason why people love microblading is the convenience of it. Once you have the procedure done, you don't have to worry about getting up and spending time in front of the mirror to shape your brows and do brow makeup. The procedure perfectly shapes and colors your brows for the look that you want without virtually any maintenance!

Besides this convenience factor, another reason why this beauty treatment is so popular is that it's long-lasting. One expert salon specializing in eyebrow microblading in Houston estimates that a single microblading service can last up to two years ! Besides one or two quick touch up appointments, you don't have to worry about them.

Microblading is also safe and has a short recovery time, making it a quick and easy treatment with awesome results.

2. Lash Extensions
The false eyelash market, including those used in lash extensions, is expected to grow to $1.5 billion in the next five years. You can see this growth and popularity in salons, too: a salon that offers lash extension in Houston says that compared to when they opened in 2012, the field has gotten a lot more crowded and popular.

Lash extensions use false eyelashes to give you a fuller and more voluminous look without needing to apply mascara. This can simplify your routine and give you a little extra volume to round out your makeup look.

While extensions do need a bit of maintenance to keep the look as fresh and new as the day after it's first done, it allows most people to ditch their mascara and wake up with perfect lashes. Many find that this is superior to makeup or adding chemicals to lashes to help them grow as it works with your natural lashes.

3. Microneedling
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), and skin needling, is a procedure that uses tiny needles to puncture the skin (usually on the face).

This induces your skin to heal and produce collagen, which can lead to a number of benefits , including:


Tighter looking skin

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

Improved appearance of scars

Reduced hyperpigmentation, brown spots, etc

Smaller pore size

Smoother skin texture
All of these benefits are what have people flocking to the technique. It's performed in 4-6 sessions. You'll have a topical anesthetic applied to reduce the pain you feel and usually a collagen enhancing serum is applied after to help promote the collagen-induced benefits of microneedling.

4. Creative Hair Dye Color
Taking a step away from skin and facial beauty treatments, we have creative hair taking charge. Hair dye has always been popular and common, but 2019 has brought fun and zany hair colors to the mainstream.

It isn't only punk rockers and grunge communities with green, blue, and pink hair anymore. Lilac is one of the most popular beauty treatments right now with searches for "lilac hair" on Pinterest increasing by a whopping 1077% this year alone!

Other common options are rainbow , bubblegum pink, and ombre options.

5. HydraFacials
Allure reports that there are 2 million HydraFacials performed globally each year.

This facial uses a special device that cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses skin with serums all in one go. It essentially acts as a tiny and gentle vacuum to suck any dirt or "gunk" out of your pores.

Most people know that this can open your pores up to even more dirt or acne-causing bacteria, but that's why people love the HydraFacial. Instead of just vacuuming out the unwanted stuff, it also replaces it with healthy skin serums so your pores aren't left exposed to dirt and grime.

People love this treatment since it's suitable for those with sensitive skin that can't handle more intense treatments. It's also suitable for most all skin types, complexions, and skin issues. Those who receive it say it helps with everything from acne to sun damage to wrinkles. People report skin that feels smoother, more hydrated, and increased firmness.
