Certain DIY's can be as effective as spa treatments (but really the basics can all be tailored for all skin types).  Most traditional spas are really looking to cater to the client by pampering them, so the actual facial treatment has to be minimal and less traumatizing to not scare away business.  You should go to a specialist for the specific treatment you are looking for. You can save money by being upfront with your Esthetician or Dermatologist about your desire to maintain the benefits of your procedure by doing your part at home. When you request this, they will know to design a skin care DIY from OTC products you can buy while incorporating what you already have at home. This will all save you money and allow you to have the best results possible.
