Buying guide: Facial Beds & Esthetician Tables
Motor count is the spec that decides the price
Every other difference follows from this one, so start here.
One motor powers height and nothing else. That is the adjustment that saves your back, and for a lot of rooms it is enough. The Lazio uses electro-hydraulic height adjustment from a hand remote with a manual lever for the backrest, and it includes a built-in face hole for prone work, which many electric facial beds skip. The DOMINUS is the other single-motor route: a flat powered-height table on a patented non-shaking frame rated to 440 lb.
Three motors add powered backrest and seat inclination. The BENTON runs height, backrest and seat inclination from a remote, which suits rooms that treat clients both lying down and sitting up.
Four motors add an independently controlled fourth axis, usually seat tilt or leg tilt. The reason that axis matters is not luxury: when a table inclines, clients slide. Independent seat tilt holds them in position. The Remi II tilts the seat independently alongside height, backrest and footrest. The Renzo does it with a fixed 12-degree seat tilt. The Modena runs height, backrest incline, leg and footrest tilt and seat angle as four separate motors.
No motors still has a place. The SABLE is a fixed-height massage and waxing table with nothing to break, which is exactly why rooms keep one as a reliable second table.
Electric, electro-hydraulic and manual
The lift mechanism is a separate question from motor count and it changes what maintenance looks like.
Electric lift is a motor on a screw or actuator. It is quiet, it is repeatable, and it is what makes memory presets possible. The Belvedere is specified as whisper-quiet, which is a real consideration in a room where the ambiance is part of what the client paid for.
Electro-hydraulic, as on the Lazio, uses a powered hydraulic ram. It is simple, it carries load well, and there is less electronics to fail.
Manual recline still shows up on multi-service chairs. The PARKER II adjusts from a chair position to fully flat across three recline positions with no motor at all, which is why it sits at 340 dollars while electric beds start well above that.
Certification is worth reading on the listing. The BENTON uses a European CE-certified motor control box. The DOMINUS motor is CE certified and carries a 12-month motor warranty per the manufacturer. Those are the maker's statements, printed on the product page.
Weight capacity: check it before you need it
This is the spec most listings bury and the one that causes the worst conversations.
In this collection the Massimo is rated to 450 lb, the highest in the electric line. The DOMINUS carries 440 lb. The PARKER II and the SABLE are both rated to 300 lb. If you want a table that every client on your books can use without anyone privately checking a number first, buy to the top of that range. The Massimo does it at 1,596 dollars, which is less than several tables here with narrower ratings.
Upholstery and cleaning
Facial and waxing rooms are wet, oily rooms. The upholstery detail that matters is seams.
The BENTON uses seamless PU upholstery, and the reason that is called out is sanitation: no stitching channels for product, wax or oil to work into. The PARKER II uses waterproof, scratch-resistant PVC leather. The SABLE is high-density sponge padding under PVC leather.
Buy the surface for the service: waxing and body oil argue for seamless or PVC. Black hides wax mishaps, white reads clean.
Power and plumbing
The electric tables run on standard outlets. The DOMINUS is listed at 110-240V. Confirm the figure on the product page and make sure the treatment room has an outlet where the table actually stands, not just where the wall is convenient.
Head spa beds are the exception and they need a real conversation before install. The SKYE kit runs an 800-1000W water circulation system and a 1000W fumigation system on AC 110-120V and ships with a UPC certified faucet, retractable drainpipe and hoses. The JUPITER avoids plumbing entirely with a built-in 60-liter tank, which is the reason it works for suites, booth renters and mobile work. The Orion is the honest warning case: its drainage is gravity-fed and a discharge pump is not included, so if your install connects to a wall drain your plumber needs to add an external pump. Read that spec before delivery day, not after.
Freight and install
Everything here ships by freight. Freight is calculated at checkout, and we deliver nationwide. Curbside means the carrier stops at the curb. Treatment tables are heavy and awkward, so plan for two people and a clear path.
Suite versus full room
A suite or single-room esthetician should spend on the axes that get used every appointment and skip the rest. Powered height plus a face hole covers most of the work. The Lazio at 800 dollars or the DOMINUS at 855 dollars does that job properly.
A shared or multi-provider room should buy memory presets, and this is where the money is well spent. Three providers sharing one table without presets means renegotiating the height and backrest every handover. The Aria stores three presets with a reset and a lock function and runs a 24 to 38 inch height range, tied with the Remi for the widest in the line. The Renzo and the Seville both carry three memory positions too.
A full build-out is worth quoting as a room, not a table. Send the list and we will put it on an invoice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a facial bed and a treatment table?
In practice the terms are used for the same equipment. A facial bed usually describes a table set up for face-up esthetics work, while treatment table is the broader term covering facials, waxing, body work and med spa procedures. Everything in this collection is sold as one or the other, and the spec sheet matters more than the label.
How many motors do I actually need?
One motor gives powered height, which is the adjustment that protects your back and is enough for many single-operator rooms. Three motors add powered backrest and seat inclination. Four motors add an independent seat or leg tilt, which stops clients sliding when the table inclines and is worth the money in a room running long or varied procedures.
Which table has the highest weight capacity?
The Massimo is rated to 450 lb, the highest in our electric line, and the DOMINUS carries 440 lb. Both figures are the manufacturer's. If you want a table that suits every client on your books without checking, buy at that end of the range.
Do I need memory presets?
Only if more than one person uses the table. In a shared or multi-provider room, presets end the constant readjustment at every handover. The Aria, the Renzo, the Remi, the Remi II, the Seville and the Belvedere all store three positions.
Can I run a head spa bed in a room with no plumbing?
Yes, with the right unit. The JUPITER has a built-in 60-liter water tank and needs no connection to supply or drain lines, which is why it works in suites and mobile setups. Plumbed beds are different: the Orion, for example, uses gravity-fed drainage and does not include a discharge pump, so a wall-drain install needs your plumber to add an external pump.
How does delivery work and what does it cost?
Freight is calculated at checkout and we deliver nationwide from a Dallas-Fort Worth base. The carrier brings the table to the curb. Moving it inside is on you, and these are two-person items, so plan for that on delivery day.
Can I buy several tables on one invoice?
Yes. Send the list through and we will issue an invoice for the room.
