Skincare has evolved and so have facials.

At Glow Beauty Bar Toronto, we blend science and self-care to deliver treatments that truly transform. But with so many options available, how do you know which facial is right for you?

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Traditional Facials: The Foundation of Great Skin

Traditional facials focus on cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration restoring balance and leaving your skin refreshed. They’re perfect for maintaining healthy, glowing skin and are often chosen before events or as part of a monthly routine.

Think of them as the essential upkeep that keeps your complexion smooth, nourished, and radiant.


Laser Facials: The Next Level of Rejuvenation

Laser facials take skincare deeper. Using controlled light and thermal energy, they target fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven texture, stimulating collagen production and cell renewal for long-lasting results.

At Glow, our Laser Facial Collection includes options like the Lite Laser Facial, Advanced Laser Facial, and Carbon Laser Peel each designed to meet specific skin goals with minimal downtime.

If you’re ready for visible improvement in tone, texture, and clarity, laser facials are your next step.


Which One Should You Choose?

It depends on your goals:

  • For hydration, balance, and regular maintenance → go traditional.

  • For deeper rejuvenation, anti-aging, or scarring → go laser.

Many clients combine both for the best of both worlds, traditional facials to maintain surface health, laser facials to transform from within.

Unlike traditional massage, Brazilian lymphatic drainage works with your body’s natural detox pathways. It helps:

  • Reduce fluid retention and bloating

Why This Treatment Is Different

Because she is a licensed RMT, your treatment qualifies for an insurance receipt — meaning you can submit it to your provider for reimbursement.

And while you may see others offering “lymphatic drainage” at lower prices, don’t be fooled by non-professionals. These are clinical-grade techniques that require training in anatomy, pressure, and drainage pathways to ensure safe, visible results.

Stubborn dark spots? Uneven tone? The Mela-Bright Peel Series is a professional brightening system from Spain designed specifically to correct pigmentation issues like sun damage, melasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. What makes it different? It’s formulated to treat both fair and deep skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI) without triggering rebound pigmentation making it one of the safest pigment-correcting options available for ethnic skin. The advanced blend of ingredients in Mela-Bright works at multiple levels to regulate melanin production, gently resurface the skin, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion. Unlike generic peels, this treatment series combines targeted in-clinic applications with customized homecare for long-term pigment correction, not just a temporary glow.


What to Expect from the Process Your treatment begins in our express facial area. After your skin is cleansed and prepped, your aesthetician will apply the Mela-Bright peel in a single, even layer. You’ll likely feel a light tingling or mild warmth as the actives begin working. There is no massage or mask as this is a focused, corrective treatment. You’ll be given clear instructions on when to remove the peel at home and how to begin your prescribed post-care regimen. Peeling typically begins around day 2 or 3 and can last until day 5. During this time, you may experience some dryness, flaking, and redness, but most clients are fully healed by day 7 and begin noticing visible improvements in tone and clarity within 28 days.


Who This Treatment Is For The Mela-Bright Peel is ideal for clients who are concerned about:

  • Melasma

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

  • Freckles or uneven skin tone

  • Sun damage

It’s suitable for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that are often more reactive to traditional peels. Most clients are in their late 20s or beyond and are looking for long-term clarity, not just surface-level glow.

Real Correction, Not Just Brightening What sets Mela-Bright apart is its ability to treat pigment without overstimulating the skin. It doesn’t just fade existing spots, it inhibits melanin production at the source by targeting the tyrosinase enzyme and promoting healthy cell turnover. And because it’s formulated to avoid rebound pigmentation, it’s especially safe for clients with darker skin tones who often can’t tolerate other chemical peels. With each session, pigmentation fades and skin becomes clearer, more even-toned, and visibly brighter. Clients often notice smoother texture, a reduction in dark patches, and a natural glow that builds with each treatment in the series.

When and How Often? While Mela-Bright can be done year-round with proper sun protection, fall and winter are ideal due to reduced UV exposure. The full protocol includes three treatments:

  1. Initial in-clinic peel with customized homecare

  2. Second in-clinic peel 30 days later

  3. Third treatment 4–8 months after the second, based on your progress

After completing the series, your aesthetician will assess whether maintenance peels or complementary services are needed.

Important Aftercare Reminders Aftercare is critical for safe healing and optimal results. For the first few days post-treatment:

  • Avoid exercise, heat, and direct sun exposure

  • Use only the post-care products provided

  • Don’t pick or manually peel flaking skin

  • Skip exfoliants, retinols, and acids for at least 7–10 days

  • Wear SPF 30+ daily and reapply often

Your skin may feel dry, sensitive, or tight, but this is temporary and part of the process.

Want to Elevate the Results? To enhance your skin clarity and overall tone, your aesthetician may recommend combining your Mela-Bright series with treatments like Lymphatic Drainage, Microcurrent, or Nano Infusion. These add-ons help support circulation, collagen production, and hydration, accelerating the pigment-correcting benefits.


A Final Word The Mela-Bright Peel Series is more than just a chemical peel, it’s a strategic, layered approach to correcting pigmentation at the source. If you’ve tried brightening serums or exfoliating facials with minimal change, this may be the corrective plan your skin has been waiting for. With a commitment to the series and post-care, most clients see significant improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance without compromising skin safety.
