In the fast-paced world of skincare, clients crave quick, effective solutions that fit their busy lives. Mini treatments—short, targeted skincare services lasting 15-30 minutes—are a growing trend, with 68% of spa-goers preferring express services, according to a 2024 industry survey. For skincare professionals, estheticians, and spa owners, these treatments are a golden opportunity to boost revenue by pairing them with targeted, high-margin products. At Trilogy Laboratories, we help you create custom and private-label skincare products to complement your mini treatments, driving sales and client loyalty. Here’s how to leverage this trend to grow your business.
Why Mini Treatments Are a Game-Changer
Mini treatments cater to the modern consumer’s demand for convenience without sacrificing results. They’re perfect for lunch-break appointments, event prep, or clients new to professional skincare. Benefits include:
- Higher Client Turnover: Serve more clients in less time, increasing daily revenue.
- Upsell Opportunities: Pair treatments with targeted products for at-home maintenance.
- Client Retention: Affordable, quick services encourage repeat visits.
By offering mini treatments and curated products, you can tap into the $189 billion skincare market while meeting client needs.

How Targeted Products Drive Revenue
Pairing mini treatments with retail products creates a seamless client experience and boosts your bottom line. Here’s why:

- Client Convenience: At-home products extend treatment benefits, encouraging loyalty.
- Brand Authority: Custom or private-label products showcase your expertise.
At Trilogy Laboratories, we make it easy to develop targeted products:
- Custom Formulations: Create unique serums, masks, or creams tailored to your treatments, like a niacinamide brightening serum or CBD acne gel.
- Private Labeling: Choose from our ready-to-brand formulas for a faster launch, ideal for small businesses.
- Compliance & Quality: Our products are FDA-compliant, third-party tested, and formulated with trending ingredients like peptides, ceramides, and bakuchiol.
For example, pairing an express brightening facial with a $40 Vitamin C serum can add $10,000 in annual revenue if just 20 clients buy monthly. With Trilogy’s low minimum order quantities, you can start small and scale as demand grows.
