At GLOW, our mission has always been to deliver results-driven treatments in a relaxing spa atmosphere. We believe that skincare should go beyond surface-level care and give you lasting confidence in your skin.

These new services allow us to target everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars, pigmentation, and skin laxity — with customizable protocols for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–V, and in some cases VI).

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.

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.
