The Glow Facial is one of the most sought-after treatments today among those offered at skin clinics and is suitable for all skin types. This medical-grade facial combines a variety of steps that involve skin-refining and are guaranteed to leave your skin glowing.
Whether you need a single treatment to look your best for that special occasion or you desire a premium skincare facial under the guidance of a dermatologist, a glow facial is what you need.
The glow facial includes the following steps:
Cleansing and priming– This preparatory process which is the initial stage removes any accumulated dirt, debris and makeup on the skin and cleans it up for the consecutive steps
Resurfacing– Agents such as glycolic acid are used to exfoliate the dead skin cells This step stimulates skin cell renewal and makes the skin appear brighter and fresher, leaving it with a better complexion.
Dermaplaning– This is a process of manual exfoliation that helps to remove the fine and soft hair that traps impurities such as oil and dirt. It also goes ahead and removes the dry skin cells. After this process, the skin is much smoother and also holds makeup much better
Skin Needling– This step is done using Vitamin A serum. Vitamin A serum is applied to the skin in advance. This is done so that when the derma roller, that will be used to massage the skin, helps the products penetrate deeper and exert their effect much better. The skin needling process uses multiple numbers of tiny needles These needles create micro punctures in the skin which erode the surface and encourage the skin’s inherent healing capacity. This is brought about by collagen production and increased elasticity of the skin
Mask– A medical-grade mask is used that hydrates the skin, increases new skin cell turnover, improves collagen levels and makes the skin appear fresher and brighter
How does a Glowing Facial Work?
Works as an antioxidant: The glow facial uses ingredients that are powerful antioxidants that combat and prevent free oxidative stress damage, which is an important contributing factor to ageing.
Detoxifies the skin: This effect helps to bring out bacteria in the skin and promotes healing.
Reduces Inflammation: With the multi-step process, we aim to reduce inflammation and redness in your skin. Also, the process hydrates your skin at the same time
Stimulates Oxygenation and Circulation: The glow facial is a multi-step process that makes the skin healthy and rejuvenated by stimulating oxygenation. It also promotes circulation and improves nourishment to the treated area.
It draws out oxygen and rushes blood to the surface of the skin and giving a beautiful, and natural glow and freshness to the face. This is the exact “healthy glow” look we go for in our skincare.

What to expect afterwards?
We recommend that you don’t apply makeup for the next few days.
This helps the products to sink into the skin and help illuminate going forward.
The radiant glow in your skin comes is achieved through the right percentages of exfoliating ingredients used
Your skin will appear brighter, firmer, hydrated and well illuminated from hydration for up to two weeks following the treatment
It helps your facial muscles relax and get nourished through the improved circulation and oxygenation
We use a combination of acidic ingredients and very fine pinprick needles to carry out the glow facial. A certain degree of discomfort may be present but the procedure is not painful
One glow facial session is usually enough to rejuvenate your skin. But it is a personal choice to want to have another glow facial session whenever you have a special occasion or just want to treat your skin.
Immediately following the session, your skin might feel tight, dry or flaky for the first few hours. These symptoms occur as the skin is exfoliating before rejuvenation and you will feel better soon.
