...But for some celebrities, according to Madonna’s longtime facialist, Ms. Peck, the most relaxing experience of all is lounging at home or in their hotel rooms. Ms. Peck, who is known for her oxygen facial, and her daughter, Tarin Graham, do not have office hours (their phone and e-mail contacts are discreetly passed around). They tote their tools and machines around. The treatments, which can also include microcurrents, hyaluronic acid and LEDs, last about two hours, Ms. Peck said, and start with the face but cover “the neck, body, whatever they need.”

And though many doctors are skeptical about what microcurrents and oxygen can really accomplish, Ms. Peck and the other facialists point out that at least there is instant gratification in an immediate glow.

“With surgery, things can go really wrong,” Ms. Martyn said of the other options. “Here, you’re actually left with your face.”
