“Environ creates scientifically researched and developed skin care products that make a real lasting difference to the appearance of the skin so that consumers everywhere can have a beautiful skin for a lifetime.” -Environ Skincare

Environ is a skincare brand built on science, beauty and care. They combine the best of science and technology with skin care principles to provide scientific-based skin care for everyone -all skin types, all ages and both genders. It was first created 30 years ago by Dr. Des Fernandes, one of the world's top ten plastic surgeons. Now, their products are sold in over 75 countries worldwide.


Environ products are formulated to combat and relieve the harmful effects of environmental factors to which our skin is exposed every day, such as pollution and radiation. Essential skin nutrients and vitamins are also lost daily by factors related to stress and poor diet, which

makes skin aging signs to be more visible.


Vitamin A (known as retinol) is the cornerstone of Environ skin care products, a vital nutrient that should be replenished everyday for maximum benefits. It is a crucial ingredient in maintaining healthy-looking, beautiful and optimal skin health. The main goal is to help correct skin problems developed by deficiency of vitamin A that everyone suffers from in the exposed areas of the skin. We can say that Vitamin A is the only clinically proven ingredient to normalize your skin.


Vitamin Step-Up System is another unique characteristic of Environ moisturiser products. It has been created to help your skin adapt and become comfortable with the increase in vitamin complexes that the skin care product has.


Environ is the only medical grade skin care line to be independently certified by the Swiss Vitamin Institute, which verify that the products contain the vitamin strength declared. They are known for having the most advanced knowledge in the category of Vitamin A and for being the only ones to offer Vitamin A products for the body.



We are happy to welcome Environ to our partnered brands family here at GLOW! The Step-Up Moisturiser System is a great way to gradually introduce Vitamin A retinol into your skincare routine for the easiest transition and best results!

No matter how many beauty or skin care treatments you get, you will not see permanent results by using cheap or old materials. Quality over Quantity, right? This old adage holds truth in pretty much every sector of human life – and this includes the beauty industry.


When it comes to receiving beauty, health or skin care treatments, it is not the time to ‘cheap-out.’ We all love a bargain, but it is important to be sure that your amazing price deal is not associated with the type of results you will recieve. Cheap spa equipment and products can leave you with very temporary results, meaning you will have to spend even more money to finally get a permanent change. Sometimes these cheaper alternatives can - god forbid- even produce negative effects.


That is why at GLOW Beauty Bar, we promise our clients that quality is one of our top priorities. Allow this article to be your verbal tour of just some of the quality technology and products that we use during our treatments and services!



One of the most popular services currently trending in the beauty industry is laser hair removal. When a treatment involves the words ‘pulses of laser,’ it is really not something to mess around with. GLOW Beauty Bar is proud to use the Lightsheer Desire, as it always delivers not only amazing, but also permanent results in hair loss! Furthermore, this machine makes the average treatment time much shorter by using a larger 22x35mm spot size – meaning hair removal on the legs can be done in a jiffy. This new ‘vacuum’ technology that the Lightsheer Desire uses activates the skin’s tactile and pressure receptors by gently sucking the skin, which in turn inhibits the transmission of pain. With all these added benefits, it’s no surprise that this machine is the gold standard in the industry for being a leader in laser and energy based technology.


Looking for an anti-aging, acne or hyperpigmentation treatment that will leave your skin smooth and hydrated? A dermal infusion is what you need! Dermalinfusion is an advanced skin-resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and the infusion of condition-specific serums to improve skin health, function and appearance. We use a technology called ‘Silkpeel Dermalinfusion’ that simultaneously cleans and exfoliates your skin, while also infusing your skin with customizable serums. These serums can vary depending on desired results. This new technology and process eliminates time gaps between all these skincare steps for optimal absorption of said serums.

At GLOW, we have many services to help you get the smooth, even complexion you have always wanted. Our LED Light Therapy Facial is one that continues to stun our clients with the results. For this facial, we use the Celluma Pro LED – a new and safe all-in-one system for numerous skin concerns. This treatment is proven to treat acne and to reduce pigmentation, inflammation and wrinkles by emitting UV-free infrared light energy to give damaged cells more energy, allowing them to work more efficiently and undergo cellular change.

What’s better than a basic facial? A Medi-facial! At GLOW Beauty Bar, we put our own creative spin on a basic facial to bring you an all-in-one facial. This Medi-facial features all the steps of a basic facial, such as cleansing and high frequency, but also includes dermaplaning, LED light therapy and a Knesko facemask. During our Facial services, we use a series of different high quality technologies and products. ‘NuFace’ technology is unique to our Medi-Facial, as this handheld, award-winning device gently massages your face with micro-currents to give you a smooth, toned complexion.

One last treatment that is popular among clients is Micro Needling. While ‘needling’ sounds scary, GLOW Beauty Bar uses numbing cream to make our clients more comfortable. Many clients report a feeling similar to exfoliation. This treatment promotes skin repair and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars and other signs of aging. We use the one and only eDermaStamp by Dermaspark. Microneedling induces collagen and elastin production within the treated area to give clients their desired result. It is important to note that this equipment (the eDermaStamp) is the original device of its kind and many beauty spas try to mimic this technology with cheaper imitations. To learn about the dangers and risks of imitations, read this article by Dermaroller.

GLOW Beauty Bar is your 100% trusted medi-spa. While you may know lots about these treatments after reading this article, how do you know which is right for you? Luckily, we can help you!


Did you know that GLOW Beauty Bar gives every client a free skincare consultation in order for our skincare professionals to properly assess your needs? While our experts are very proficient in identifying skincare concerns, we use the Reveal Skin Imager to give you the most accurate consultation we can. This technology uses a scan of your face to show us what is in the way of complexion perfection such as sun damage, brown spots or red pigmentation.



We want to help you achieve perfect skin through a 'guaranteed results' and safe way! Call us today to book a consultation to find out which treatments are best for you.
