Hydro Facial
-
Uses a Vortex-Fusion delivery system. Think of it as a mini-power washer for your face that works in three distinct steps:
Cleanse + Peel: A gentle resurfacing tip sweeps away dead skin cells while a mild acid peel (usually a mix of glycolic and salicylic acid) loosens dirt without the stinging of a traditional peel.
Extract + Hydrate: Instead of painful manual squeezing, a painless vacuum suction yanks "gunk" (sebum and blackheads) out of the pores. Simultaneously, it douses the skin with intense moisturizers.
Fuse + Protect: Now that the pores are clear, the device "vortex-infuses" a cocktail of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into the skin for maximum absorption.
-
Instant Gratification: You walk out looking dewy and bright immediately—no "tomato face" recovery period.
Deep Pore Cleansing: It’s arguably the most effective way to clear out blackheads and "congestion" without damaging the skin barrier.
Customizable "Boosters": You can tailor the treatment with specific serums for hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or redness.
Universal Compatibility: It works on almost every skin type, from very oily/acne-prone to dry or sensitive.
-
During: It feels like a cool, wet paintbrush moving across the face. Most people find it incredibly relaxing.
After: Your skin will look plump and hydrated right away. You might even get to see the "gunkie jar"—the container of murky water showing exactly what was extracted from your pores. (It’s gross, but weirdly satisfying!)
Results: The "glow" usually lasts about a week, while improved skin health can be maintained with monthly sessions.
-
Dullness and "tired" looking skin.
Blackheads, whiteheads, and enlarged pores.
Fine lines and minor texture issues.
Preparing for a big event (weddings, photoshoots) where you need to look your best immediately.
Glo2 Facial
-
The Glo2Facial uses a three-stage process that leverages a cool piece of science called the Bohr Effect.
Oxfoliation™: A specialized "OxyPod" (a solid disc of active ingredients) reacts with a primer gel on your skin. This creates millions of tiny bubbles. When your body senses a spike on the surface, it responds by rushing oxygen-rich blood to that area to balance it out.
Ultrasound (LUX): An ultrasound wand creates micro-vibrations that temporarily "open" the skin's lipid layer. This allows the potent antioxidants and peptides from the treatment to penetrate much deeper than they would with a regular massage.
Detox (Lymphatic Massage): A gentle, hands-free massage step reduces puffiness, sculpts the face, and helps flush out toxins.
-
Internal Rejuvenation: Unlike "oxygen facials" that spray oxygen onto the skin, this forces your body to produce its own oxygen within the skin.
Deep Customization: There are about seven different "OxyPod" types (like Charcoal for acne, Gold for firming, or Vitamin C for brightening) so it can be tailored to exactly what you need.
Skin Sculpting: The lymphatic drainage step provides an immediate "lifted" and de-puffed look.
Zero Downtime: Like the HydraFacial, you walk out event-ready, but with a more "lit-from-within" radiance rather than just a wet glow.
-
During: You’ll feel a warm, tingly, and slightly "fizzy" sensation during the $CO_{2}$ phase. It feels active but not painful.
After: Minimal to no redness. Your skin will feel exceptionally smooth because the OxyPod provides a very thorough, uniform exfoliation.
Results: Immediate brightness and a refined texture. Because it stimulates blood flow and cellular metabolism, the results tend to peak about 24–48 hours after the treatment.
-
Dull, "Stressed" Skin: Perfect for smokers, frequent travelers, or those living in high-pollution areas.
Redness & Sensitivity: Because it doesn't use suction (unlike HydraFacial), it’s often safer for those with Rosacea or very thin skin.
Pre-Event Prep: It’s the ultimate "Red Carpet" facial for a glow that looks natural.
Custom Facial
-
Instead of a set machine sequence, the practitioner chooses from a vast toolkit based on your skin's immediate needs:
Deep Analysis: It begins with a thorough skin mapping to identify issues like dehydration, localized congestion, or a compromised barrier.
Targeted Exfoliation: Depending on your sensitivity, they might use enzymes (gentle), chemical peels (deeper), or ultrasonic scrubbers to remove dead skin.
Manual Extractions: Unlike a machine vacuum, a skilled professional can target specific, stubborn clogged pores or "milia" that machines often miss.
Product Layering: They mix and match professional-grade serums (Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Peptides) and masks (Clay, Alginate, or Cream) that wouldn't normally be "pre-packaged" together.
-
True Personalization: If you have dry cheeks but an oily chin, your aesthetician can treat those zones with completely different products simultaneously.
Educational Value: You get a professional "audit" of your current routine and advice on what’s actually working (or what’s clogging your pores).
Stress Reduction: These often include facial, neck, and shoulder massages, which lower cortisol. Since high cortisol triggers skin inflammation, the "spa" element is actually functional.
Flexibility: It can be adapted for pregnancy, allergies, or post-surgery—situations where "one-size-fits-all" machines might be too aggressive.
-
During: A sensory journey. You’ll experience varying temperatures (warm steam, cool masks), different textures, and relaxing manual massage.
After: Varies by intensity. If they did heavy extractions, you might have minor spots of redness for 24 hours. Generally, you leave looking refreshed and "rested."
Results: Improved skin clarity and a balanced complexion. Because it addresses the root causes of your specific issues, the benefits can feel more "long-term" than a temporary glow.
-
Complex Skin: People who have multiple issues (e.g., adult acne and fine lines).
Sensitive/Reactive Skin: Those who find machines too stimulating or have conditions like Rosacea.
Routine Maintenance: Someone who wants a professional "deep clean" every 4–6 weeks to keep their skin on track.
