After a busy holiday season of giving, the start of a new year is the perfect time to gift yourself some TLC. Several new Houston spas and skincare destinations are here to help, with indulgent services and cutting-edge treatments that relax and recharge clients, from scalp to toes. Here is your "new year, new me" spa-crawl itinerary for January 2025.
Biologique Recherche
Luxe Parisian skincare brand Biologique Recherche will open its first Texas location in River Oaks District (4444 Westheimer Rd.) on January 8. Founded in the 1970s and based on science, all of the spa's products are made in-house, with formulations for the entire body, from facial and scalp treatments to body care and professional devices. Biologique Recherche is known for its trend-averse approach and has a line of iconic products - including the P50, a daily exfoliating lotion - which has had a cult following since the 1970s and shows no signs of slowing down nearly five decades later.
Hi, Skin
Hi, Skin, known for its innovative, non-invasive treatments tailored to each client's unique needs, opened its fourth Houston location in late 2024. Hi, Skin offers everything from personalized facials to advanced skin therapies utilizing cutting-edge technology. The newest studio, in Rice Village (5425 Kelvin Dr.) blends Hi, Skin's high-tech skincare services with a design-forward approach environment.

The Ozone Bar
The Ozone Bar, a Dallas-based health and wellness spa, recently opened its first Houston location in the Shoppes of San Felipe (1415 S. Voss Rd. #130). The ultramodern facility provides an ozone therapy experience, which, they say, benefits the body by detoxing, increasing circulation, and stimulating blood cells for optimal energy output and nutrient absorption. The 1,800-square-foot spa features eight private treatment rooms, a wide selection of physician-grade supplements, a variety of the industry's most exclusive wellness brands, and four sought-after body-contouring treatments, including ozone sauna, infrared sauna, DermaShape, and HOCATT.

The spa's newest treatments are touted for clients of all ages, including those with acne-prone skin and aging skin. The facials are tailored with programs to address acne, boost brightness and rejuvenate skin with little-to-no downtime, featuring products and peels formulated by renowned medical-grade skincare line Skinceuticals. Additionally, the spa has launched a selection of advanced Hydrafacials, including a Thompson Rx: HydraCeutical Advanced treatment, and all facial treatments can be upgraded with enhancements, including Clinical Extractions and Blue Light Therapy for acne, LED Light Therapy to reduce inflammation, and Nanochannel Biocellulose Mask to provide immediate relief for stressed skin.
