Looking for a skin refresh that delivers results without the peeling, flaking, or downtime of a traditional treatment? The GREEN PEEL® Fresh Up is your answer. As the gentlest option in the renowned GREEN PEEL® lineup, Fresh Up uses a 100% natural blend of herbs, enzymes, and antioxidants to wake up tired skin, boost circulation, and renew your glow without a single harsh acid. This is the perfect treatment before a special event, after a stressful season, or simply when your skin needs a gentle push in the right direction. Expect smoother texture, brighter tone, and a revitalized complexion.

What to Expect from the Process After a thorough cleanse and skin prep, your aesthetician applies the GREEN PEEL® herbal blend in gentle, circular movements. You’ll feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the circulation-boosting botanicals get to work. There’s no massage, no mask, this is a treatment focused entirely on skin health and renewal. The full session takes place in our express facial area, making it a convenient yet powerful option for busy schedules. Most clients leave with a fresh, healthy glow that continues to improve in the following days. You may experience mild redness for 1 day post-treatment and, in rare cases, light flaking. But there’s no visible peeling or downtime, just refreshed, re-energized skin.

Who This Treatment Is For The Fresh Up is ideal for anyone looking to brighten and strengthen their skin without going through a peel. It’s especially suited for:

  • Dull, tired-looking complexions

  • Early signs of aging

  • Stressed, environmentally fatigued skin

  • First-time GREEN PEEL® clients

  • Event prep or seasonal skin resets

  • Acne and congested skin 

It’s safe and effective for all skin tones and types, provided there are no active contraindications.

Real Results, Naturally This treatment doesn’t just make your skin look better, it supports your skin’s own renewal systems. Clients often report softer texture, more even tone, and visibly brighter skin within days. Because there’s no barrier damage or aggressive exfoliation, Fresh Up can be repeated regularly and integrated into your long-term skin health plan. With each session, skin becomes more resilient, hydrated, and luminous, especially when paired with supportive enhancements like LED Light Therapy or Lymphatic Drainage between treatments.


When and How Often? Fresh Up is safe year-round but especially helpful after periods of environmental stress, like summer sun or winter dryness. You’ll see a visible difference after one session, but for ongoing glow and skin strengthening, a series of 4 treatments spaced 8 weeks apart is recommended.


Post-Treatment Care: Keep That Glow Going

While there’s no downtime, proper aftercare helps lock in your results:

  • Avoid heat, steam, or strenuous exercise for the rest of the day

  • Skip exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for 3–5 days

  • Stick to gentle, nourishing skincare

  • Use SPF 30+ daily

Your skin will thank you and you’ll notice continued improvements over the next few days.

Enhance Your Experience To boost your results even further, consider adding:

  • LED Light Therapy to reduce inflammation and energize skin

  • Lymphatic Drainage to support detox and reduce puffiness

  • Custom mask upgrades for hydration or brightening

  • Neck & chest add-ons for an extended glow

A Final Word Fresh Up is where nature meets correction. It’s not a pampering facial, it’s a results-driven, herbal-powered treatment that breathes life back into dull or stressed-out skin. With no peeling, and no guesswork, it’s one of our favourite treatments for clients who want to look radiant naturally.

If your skin’s been feeling uneven, sun-damaged, or just not as vibrant as it used to be, our IPL Photofacial could be the reset button you've been waiting for. Using SharpLight™ technology, this non-invasive treatment delivers targeted pulses of light deep into the skin to break up pigmentation, calm redness, clear acne, and stimulate collagen production, no harsh peels and downtime required. It's a versatile treatment that delivers real, visible results and leaves your skin looking brighter, clearer, and more even with each session.


What to Expect from the Process After a consultation and prep, your aesthetician will use a handheld device to deliver flashes of intense light across the treatment area. You may feel a quick snap, like a small rubber band flick followed by warmth. This light energy travels below the skin’s surface to target melanin, bacteria, or broken blood vessels depending on your concern. The entire treatment takes about 1 hour, and you’ll be given post-care instructions to support healing and results. Redness and warmth afterward are completely normal and usually fade within a few hours.


Who This Treatment Is For  IPL is ideal for clients who:

  • Are dealing with sun damage, age spots, or pigmentation

  • Struggle with redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries

  • Want a clearer, smoother canvas without aggressive peels or lasers

  • Are looking for a drug-free solution to mild/moderate acne

  • Have Fitzpatrick skin types I–V and are ready for a series-based treatment

  • Are age 14+ (for acne) or 25+ (for rejuvenation and discoloration)


Real Results, Not a Temporary Fix  IPL isn’t a surface treatment, it works deep within the skin to trigger collagen renewal and fade discoloration over time. You may see dark spots darken temporarily, then flake off naturally within a week or two. With each session, skin looks smoother, more even, and refreshed. This is a treatment designed to correct, not just conceal. And once your series is complete, results can last for months with proper sun care and maintenance.

Before session After 1 session



When and How Often? IPL is best done in the cooler months, fall and winter when UV exposure is lower. For pigmentation or skin rejuvenation, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced four weeks apart. For acne, 2 sessions per week over 4–6 weeks may be advised. After your series, we suggest maintenance every 3–6 months depending on your skin’s needs.


Important Aftercare Reminders Your skin will be more sensitive after treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2–3 weeks, and always wear SPF 30+ daily. For the first 48 hours:

  • Avoid heat (saunas, workouts, hot showers, cooking over steam)

  • Skip makeup and active skincare

  • Don’t pick or scratch dark spots or flaking areas We also recommend applying Aloe Vera, Glowtox Oil, or antibiotic ointment as needed. Cold compresses can help with any residual swelling or sensitivity.

Want to Elevate the Results? Looking to pair your IPL with something extra? Add-ons like LED light therapy (for inflammation), dermaplaning (for smoother texture), or a HydraFacial can take your glow even further. We also offer lymphatic drainage and custom mask upgrades for a fully tailored experience. Your aesthetician will guide you through what’s best for your goals.

A Final Word The IPL Photofacial is one of our most results-driven services for a reason. Whether you’re clearing sun damage, calming redness, or treating stubborn acne marks, this treatment goes beyond the surface to deliver real change. It's safe, powerful, and completely customized, so you can reveal brighter, smoother, more confident skin with each visit.


Ready to clear the past and reveal your glow? Book your IPL Photofacial today and start your transformation one pulse at a time.
