Glowbar Treatments

What can I expect during a Glowbar treatment?

Glowbar treatments are customized for each client and can include a combination of these services:

Dermaplaning** - A manual exfoliation that removes dead skin cells from the outermost layer of your skin, as well as 80-90% vellus hair (read: peach fuzz). This exfoliation provides smooth glowy skin and allows for better absorption of product post-treatment. ** Not available at Glowbar Westport 

Light Chemical Peels - Non-invasive peels that remove the top layers of dead and damaged skin and encourage skin cell regeneration. These types of peels provide gentle treatment for fine lines, acne, chronic dry skin, and uneven pigmentation.

Manual Extractions - The process of manually clearing a clogged or compacted pores.

Cavitation - A tool which uses ultrasonic vibrations and water to help deep cleanse the pores of dirt, oil, and debris. 

Microcurrent - A tool used to emit extremely low-voltage electrical currents (hence 'micro' current), which mirror your own body's electrical currents on a cellular level to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process is often referred to as a “natural” facelift.

High Frequency - A tool used to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, providing acne-fighting benefits. This treatment also increases blood vessel circulation, making the treatment an effective anti-aging and glow-boosting tool.

LED - A light therapy that is painless, relaxing, and non-invasive with multiple benefits, including stimulating collagen production and treating mild to moderate acne.

Can I pick my service?

At Glowbar, we take the guesswork out of skincare by customizing each treatment to your skin to meet your needs in real time. So, unlike a traditional spa, there is no service menu. If you are interested in getting a specific service, make sure to mention it to your esthetician and they will evaluate if you are a good candidate for it!

How often should I get a Glowbar treatment?

Here at Glowbar, we recommend getting a treatment at least one a month for optimal results. However, you are welcome and encouraged to receive multiple treatments a month—as long as you wait two weeks in between.

Can I come in more than once a month?

Yes! We just recommend that you wait at least 2 weeks between treatments.

Why is a credit card required for booking an appointment?

Our booking system collects your credit card information to hold your appointment, however, you will not be charged until you complete your appointment and check out in studio. If you intend on paying with a gift card, no problem! The credit card is still required to hold the appointment, but we'll redeem the gift card in studio!

Can I request a specific esthetician?

While we cannot guarantee that esthetician requests will always be honored, you can request an esthetician by leaving a note in your appointment, or by calling or emailing the studio you will be visiting. You can find all contact information on our locations page.

Do you provide consultations for your skincare services?

Every Glowbar visit starts with an efficient, results-oriented consultation with your esthetician. As a result, your Glowbar treatment is customized to your specific needs on the day of the treatment.

Will my face be washed during my Glowbar treatment?

We want to use the 30 minutes allocated to your Glowbar treatment to get down to the results. So, we ask that you arrive 10 minutes early to visit our wash bar and cleanse pre-treatment. Uncertain about how to wash your own face? We’ve got you covered. Once in the studio, our Studio Guide will be able to provide clear directions.

What types of products do you use during Glowbar treatments?

Here at Glowbar, we partner exclusively with clinical, evidence-based brands to get you the best results. For specifics, call the studio you will be visiting. you can find all contact information on our locations page.

Yes! We sell products from IsClinical, Environ, EltaMD, and Sofie Pavitt Face.

Are any of the products used at Glowbar tested on animals?

Absolutely not.

Should I expect any injections during my Glowbar treatment?

Nope, none.

Are Glowbar treatments for all genders?

All genders are welcomed at, and encouraged to come to Glowbar.

Is there anything I shouldn’t do before a Glowbar treatment?

We ask that you stop using prescription retinol 3-5 days before your treatment, and wait two weeks after receiving a laser treatment, fillers, or Botox to visit Glowbar. Additionally, if you are currently on Accutane or similar medication, we ask that you wait until 6 months after your medication cycle is complete.

Is there anything I shouldn’t do after a Glowbar treatment?

We ask that you wait 24 hours before working out and avoid all active ingredients (AHAs/BHAs/Retinol) for 24-48 hours.

Can I get a facial if I have a cold sore?

No, not until the scab has fully shed and the skin behind it has healed.

Can I get a facial if I have eczema?

Typically, as long as you don't have active breakouts or any active flare ups of eczema, sensitivity, or other skin issues, we'll be able to proceed!

Do you treat the neck, decollette, or back?

No, we only treat the chin up.

What if I have allergies?

Indicate your allergies on your intake form and let your esthetician know, and we will work around them.

How old do I have to be to receive a Glowbar treatment?

Anyone under the age of 18 requires parental consent. Any client under 18 must have their intake form signed by their parent or guardian in person before their first appointment. Once they have their form signed the first time, the parent or guardian does not have to accompany the client to any following appointments.

Each treatment is designed to be just 30 minutes long (it’s all you need!), but you can receive multiple treatments per month for an additional $75 or $60 if you are a member.
