Okay, let’s get real for a minute. I love a good spa day as much as the next person, but let’s face it—sometimes life is busy, budgets are tight, and honestly…sometimes I just don’t want to leave my house in yoga pants. Enter: the magic of at-home treatments that actually work. Today, I want to share my top three faves that make me feel like I’ve booked a full spa day without ever stepping outside.
1. Cavitation and Radio Frequency (RF) treatment
Now let’s talk body magic. Cavitation and RF (radio frequency) treatments are my go-to for a little at-home contouring. Think of it as a non-invasive way to smooth and tone areas that sometimes…well, resist diet and exercise.
Here’s how it works: cavitation uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells, while RF stimulates collagen and tightens the skin. You can see and feel the difference over time. It’s not instant, but for the same reasons as microneedling—control, convenience, repeatability—it’s totally worth it.
Plus, watching that little wand glide over your body while your favorite podcast plays? Pure bliss. I bought this one, i find it incredibly good value and you can get years worth of use out of it. Here’s a few of the best ones at different price ranges.

2. Microneedling with Dr Pen
I’ll admit it: when I first heard about microneedling, I thought, “Needles? On my face? No thanks.” But then I discovered the Dr Pen and friends, it changed the game.
Here’s the deal: it’s basically a mini spa treatment that you can control yourself. You decide the depth, the area, and the timing. Want to hit the fine lines around your eyes? You got it. Need a full face refresh? Easy. And the best part? You can repeat it as much as your skin can handle, no appointments needed.
Honestly, the effect is the same as any spa treatment, but you’re saving money and skipping the small talk with a receptionist. I call that a win-win.
Pro tip: Start slow and gentle. Your skin will thank you.

Red Light Masks
Ah, red light therapy. The ultimate “I’m fancy, but still on the couch” energy. Red light masks use specific wavelengths to help with skin repair, reduce fine lines, and boost collagen. Basically, it’s like giving your skin a tiny, invisible spa hug.
The best part? You can binge-watch Netflix while wearing it. No hand cramps, no awkward faces in the mirror. Just you, your favorite show, and science doing its thing.
