If your skin is showing signs of laxity, fine lines, pigmentation, or scarring, Microneedling with DP4 may be the deep-repair treatment you’ve been looking for. This Health Canada–approved device by DermapenWorld uses medical-grade sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The result? Visibly firmer, smoother, and more even skin without lasers or peels. This is not your average at-home roller. The DP4 glides over the skin with advanced oscillating action, minimizing trauma while maximizing skin regeneration. It’s followed by a calming mask and relaxing massage, making this treatment both results-driven and deeply restorative.

What to Expect from the Process After a consultation and skin prep, your aesthetician applies a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout the session. The DP4 Microneedling device is then passed across your skin in smooth, targeted motions. You may feel a light buzzing or prickling sensation, especially in more sensitive areas, but most clients describe the experience as tolerable. The entire session takes about an hour and includes post-treatment hydration and soothing care. You’ll leave with a flushed, healthy glow that transitions into a noticeable improvement in texture, clarity, and firmness over the following days.

Who This Treatment Is For

  • Men and women over 18 years old

  • Clients with acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, or enlarged pores

  • Anyone seeking skin rejuvenation without lasers or harsh peels

  • Not suitable for those with certain medical conditions, or recent injectable treatments

Real Results, Not Just Surface Glow Microneedling works by triggering your body’s wound-healing response without damaging the skin’s surface. By promoting collagen and elastin production, the treatment strengthens the skin’s structure from within, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation. Over time, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. You may see results after just one session, but a full series of treatments can significantly improve even stubborn concerns like acne scars and uneven tone. Best of all, results are long-lasting and continue to improve in the weeks following each treatment. What our client's are saying:

"I decided to try microneedling because I’ve always struggled with acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, and overall dullness. After just a few sessions, I can honestly say the results are incredible—this has quickly become my favourite facial. My skin is noticeably tighter, my pores have visibly shrunk, and both the texture and brightness of my skin have improved significantly. My acne scars have softened, and I finally feel confident in my skin again.The treatment is mildly painful, but absolutely tolerable—and 100% worth the results. For me, the downtime is about three days. During that time, there’s some redness, but by day three it fades enough for me to comfortably wear light makeup. I now alternate microneedling with hydrafacials every 6 to 8 weeks, and it’s made a huge difference in the health and appearance of my skin. I highly recommend microneedling to anyone looking to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality" - Jennifer Cordeiro Peixoto

When and How Often? Microneedling is safe to perform year-round with proper sun protection. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced six weeks apart. After your initial series, maintenance sessions every 3–4 months help sustain your results and keep your skin in peak condition.

Important Aftercare Reminders Your skin will be more sensitive after treatment, and proper care is essential for healing and results. For the first few days:

  • Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ after 48 hours

  • Don’t wash your face or sweat for the first 24 hours

  • Skip makeup, hot tubs, and steam rooms for 24 hours

  • Use only gentle skincare for 3–5 days

  • Avoid exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for 5+ days

  • Sleep on a clean pillowcase and sanitize makeup tools

Want to Elevate the Results? Looking to maximize your skin transformation? Your aesthetician may recommend pairing your microneedling session with LED Light Therapy to reduce inflammation, Dermaplaning for enhanced serum penetration, or a Neck & Chest add-on to treat the décolleté. Add-ons like Hydration Infusion or Lymphatic Drainage can also amplify your glow and recovery.

A Final Word Microneedling with DP4 is one of the most effective treatments for rebuilding skin from the inside out. Whether you’re looking to fade scars, smooth texture, reduce pigmentation, or simply boost collagen, this treatment offers powerful results with minimal downtime. Safe, medical-grade, and fully customized to your skin’s needs, microneedling is a gold standard for long-term skin health and resilience.

Ashley Cammisuli is the Founder & CEO of GLOW Beauty Bar Inc. and Glowtox. Inspired by her own struggles with acne, Ashley turned her passion for skincare into one of Toronto’s most trusted facial spas. With over a decade of hands-on experience and 20+ professional certifications, she has built an award-winning brand known for results-driven treatments, luxury skincare products, and empowering education. Ashley’s mission is simple: to help women feel confident, radiant, and supported both inside and out.

As the seasons shift, your skin does too. After months of summer sun, heat, and sunscreen, it’s normal to notice dullness, dryness, or breakouts hanging around. A professional peel is like hitting the reset button, sweeping away dead skin cells, stimulating collagen, and revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. Fall is the perfect time: with less UV exposure, your skin can heal beautifully, and your glow lasts longer.

At our Shed the Dead Peel Party, you’ll experience one of our signature treatments, Medi Peel or Cold Peel, normally priced at $205–$250, now just $99 or $149 for this event. And because glowing skin pairs best with cozy vibes, we’re serving up a full hot cocoa bar to sip while you glow.

These are medical-grade treatments delivered in our express facial area, designed to transform skin in under 30 minutes.

Medi Peel vs. Cold Peel


Medi Peel

  • Great for acne, pigmentation, and early signs of aging

  • Uses advanced Circadia ethanol-based formulas

  • Peeling starts around day 2–3 and lasts for a few days

  • Best done in a series of 3–6 treatments

Cold Peel (Cimel Activator)

  • Safe for all skin tones (I–VI)

  • Targets acne, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and uneven texture

  • Gentle yet powerful, with ingredients like Kojic Acid and Retinol

  • Delivers smoother, brighter skin in as little as one week


What to Expect

Your peel is designed to be effective but comfortable. You may feel tingling or warmth during application, and some redness or tightness as the peel self-neutralizes.

  • Day 2–3: Peeling and flaking begin, usually around the mouth and spreading outward.

  • Days 3–5: Skin may feel tight, dry, or itchy as the fresh skin emerges.

  • By Day 7: Most peeling subsides, revealing a smooth, refreshed glow.

Glow-Proof Aftercare

To protect your results, we’ll guide you with a simple at-home routine. Key rules:

  • No water, products, or makeup for the first 12 hours

  • Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, workouts) for 48 hours

  • No exfoliants, retinol, or scrubs for one week

  • Use only your post-care kit: gentle cleanser, brightening serum, moisturizer, and SPF (available for purchase)

  • Reapply SPF every 2 hours—your skin will be more sun-sensitive

And most importantly: don’t pick at peeling skin!

Is This Peel Right for Me?

Peels are safe for most clients, but your aesthetician will always review your skin and health history first. We may reschedule if you’ve had recent sun exposure, waxing, advanced treatments, or if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain allergies.

The Stimu Facial is one of our most invigorating treatments, a spicy-cool experience that gets your blood flowing, tightens your complexion, and leaves you with an instant, radiant glow. Think of it as your go-to pre-event pick-me-up, post-winter wake-up, or anytime your skin needs a circulation boost.

What Is The Stimu Facial?

The Stimu Facial is a circulation-enhancing, skin-brightening experience that combines thermal stimulation and cooling techniques to wake up your complexion in the most luxurious way. The treatment begins with a warming spicy pepper solution - don’t worry, it’s gentle and controlled, designed to increase microcirculation, detoxify, and oxygenate the skin. Once that fiery flush has done its job, we bring on the chill.

A cold towel, ice globes, and a cooling mask help bring inflammation down and restore balance, creating the signature fire-and-ice contrast that gives this treatment its cult following.


What It Feels Like

Clients describe the sensation as invigorating, tingly, and soothing all at once. The initial warm “peppery” phase is mild and lasts just long enough to do its job, stimulating blood flow and clearing out stagnation. Then comes the cool-down: an icy refresh using tools and products specifically chosen to calm and restore the skin. You’ll leave feeling awakened, lifted, and totally revived.


Who It's For

The beauty of the Stimu Facial lies in its versatility. It’s suitable for all skin types, ages, and concerns but it truly shines on:

  • Dull, lackluster skin

  • Congested or acne-prone skin

  • Tired complexions needing a glow-up

  • Pregnant clients seeking a safe but effective facial

  • First-timers wanting something impactful but not overwhelming

Whether you’re heading to an event, recovering from a long travel week, or just want your skin to look and feel alive again, this facial is designed for you.


The Experience, Step by Step

Your session begins in one of our peaceful, private treatment rooms. After a gentle cleanse and skin prep, your esthetician will apply the warming pepper solution, carefully monitoring your skin’s response. As the heat stimulates circulation and brings a healthy flush to the surface, we follow with a wave of cooling therapies: ice globes, cold towels, and a hydrating mask that leaves skin calm, plump, and visibly renewed.

No needles, no harsh exfoliants, no downtime, just results.


Post-Treatment Expectations

You’ll leave with a dewy, refreshed glow and tighter-looking pores. Some clients may experience mild redness, which typically fades within a few hours. Most clients love how their skin feels instantly more lifted, alive, and clear.

For best results, we recommend booking the Stimu Facial every 4 weeks or as a glow-up treatment before major events. It’s also a fabulous seasonal reset, especially after long winters or dry months. What our clients say about this treatment: " I booked my first facial ever here, and had the amazing Daria treat me! And I'm so happy I chose Glow Beauty Bar for my first facial experience! Since it was my first facial, I decided to book the "Consultation and Treatment Facial", where Daria preformed skin imaging to view any underlying skin conditions. We discussed my current skincare, and she then educated me on what I should be incorporating into my skincare for my skin type, especially because I also suffer from rosacea. Once we completed the consultation, she then recommended the Stimu facial, which left my skin feeling so amazing and glowy after we were done! Ended up purchasing their Glowtox Cleansing Oil too when I came in for my second facial (Calm - Express Facial) right before my wedding, and by far it's one of the best facial oils you can get your hands on! Highly recommend Glow Beauty Bar, and hope to be back soon in the near future!"
