At Skinethica Plus in Burlingame, we offer Glo2Facial, an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to support healthier, more radiant-looking skin. By stimulating the skin’s natural oxygenation process, it helps improve hydration, texture, and overall skin vitality without downtime. Whether you’re experiencing dullness, dehydration, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, this customizable treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones.

What Is Glo2Facial?

This advanced facial treatment stimulates the skin’s natural oxygenation response to improve hydration, texture, and overall radiance. Using oxygenating exfoliation, ultrasound infusion, and lymphatic massage, it helps refresh and revitalize the skin without needles, harsh chemicals, or downtime. Many clients notice visible results such as smoother, brighter-looking skin and improved hydration after treatment. With six customizable treatment formulas, it can be tailored to concerns such as dehydration, acne, hyperpigmentation, and visible signs of aging.

How Glo2Facial Works: The 3-Step Process

1

Oxfoliation™ (Oxygenating Exfoliation)

The treatment begins with Oxfoliation™, Glo2Facial’s patented technology. A specialized gel containing exfoliating capsules is applied to the skin. When these capsules react with your skin, they generate CO₂ microbubbles, which trigger the body’s natural Bohr Effect, stimulating blood circulation and increasing oxygen flow to the skin’s surface. Dead skin cells are gently lifted away while the skin is simultaneously prepared for deeper nourishment. No abrasive scrubs, no harsh acids.

2

LUX Lite Ultrasound Infusion

In the second step, a low-frequency ultrasound device (LUX) is passed over the skin to drive active ingredients deeper into the dermis. The ultrasonic waves stimulate microcirculation, enhance the absorption of hydrating and brightening serums, and improve moisture retention at the cellular level. The result is skin that feels plumper and more supple immediately after treatment.

3

Detox Lymphatic Massage

The final step uses a targeted lymphatic drainage massage to flush toxins, reduce puffiness, and sculpt facial contours. Active ingredients are worked into the skin during this phase, and the lymphatic stimulation visibly lifts and refreshes the face. Most clients report a noticeable “lifted” appearance right after this step.

Glo2Facial Treatment Formulas: Fully Customizable for Your Skin

One of Glo2Facial’s key advantages is its six customizable treatment formulas, each designed to target a specific skin concern. Your provider will recommend the best option for your skin.

Awaken: Brightening and energizing for dull, tired skin
Hydrate: Deep moisture support for dry or dehydrated skin
Balance: Helps control excess oil and clear congestion in acne-prone skin
Illuminate: Targets uneven skin tone and the appearance of dark spots
Revive: Supports smoother, firmer-looking skin and addresses visible signs of aging
Detox: Purifies and refreshes skin affected by environmental stressors

Treatment formulas can be adjusted over time, allowing your Glo2Facial experience to evolve with your skin’s changing needs.

Glo2Facial Treatment FAQ

Glo2Facial improves hydration, brightens dull skin, minimizes fine lines and enlarged pores, clears acne congestion, and evens out skin tone all with zero downtime. With six customizable formulas, it can address a wide range of skin concerns while fitting seamlessly into most skincare routines.

Yes. Glo2Facial uses no harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. The CO₂ oxygenation process is gentle by design, and the Balance formula is specifically formulated for reactive, sensitive, and acne-prone skin types. It is also safe for all skin tones, including deeper skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation from more aggressive treatments.

Most clients see noticeably brighter, smoother, and more hydrated skin immediately after their session. Results continue to improve over the next 24–48 hours as the skin’s oxygenation response completes its work.

For ongoing skin maintenance, we recommend monthly sessions. For a targeted glow before a special event, a single session 3–5 days beforehand works well. If you are addressing a specific concern like hyperpigmentation or acne, your provider may recommend an initial series of sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart.

Avoid retinol and active exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs) for 48 hours before your session and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. No other preparation is required.

No. While both are non-invasive hydrating facials, Glo2Facial uses a fundamentally different mechanism CO₂ microbubbles trigger your skin’s natural oxygenation response (the Bohr Effect), rather than vacuum suction. Glo2Facial also includes ultrasound infusion and lymphatic drainage as standard steps, and offers six customizable treatment formulas for targeted results.
