What a Medi Peel Actually Does (And Why It's On Us This Month)

Before we dive into peel season, it helps to know what a Medi Peel is ACTUALLY doing. In 30 minutes, this treatment works on pigmentation, texture, scarring, acne, and skin longevity — the deeper concerns a surface facial can't quite reach, and it's formulated to work safely across a wide range of skin tones.

What to expect during your Medi Peel treatment

Your aesthetician applies the peel in layers, right in our express treatment area, tailoring the formulation to what your skin needs most, whether that's congestion and acne, pigmentation and sun damage, or early signs of aging. Here's the detail that surprises most first-timers: nothing goes on top of the peel once it's applied. It's designed to self-neutralize on its own, so we'll ask you to avoid water and other skincare products on the area for about 12 hours afterward; simple, but it matters for getting the full benefit.

Getting your skin ready

Most clients spend a couple of weeks beforehand on a professional home care routine with brightening ingredients, which helps protect against pigmentation changes during the peel, and we'll ask you to hold off on sun exposure, waxing, and retinol or other exfoliants in the days leading up to your appointment. Timing, formulation, and whether it's the right fit for you at all, we confirm all of it at your consultation first.

Recovery and results

It's not a treatment for the night before an event. Peeling typically begins around day two and continues through the week, along with some redness, sensitivity, or flaking; all a normal part of your skin renewing itself. Most clients see the biggest transformation from a series, typically 3 to 6 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, though you'll notice a difference after just one. Your aesthetician will help map out a plan around your skin's goals.

This month, it's complimentary with any new GLOW+ Membership sign-up or renewal — a $155 value, and one of the last few spots in this year's cap of 20. Individual results may vary, but the investment in your skin's long-term health is always worth it.

If you've been considering GLOW+, this is the week to make it official.

Supporting Your Skin Through Rapid Weight Change

We're hearing a new question at consultations more often lately: what happens to your skin during a period of significant weight change, and what can actually help.

It's a fair question, and not one we take lightly. Skin laxity, volume shifts, and texture changes are real and common and they have nothing to do with anything being wrong with you. Your skin is simply adjusting, and it deserves support while it does.

This is exactly where our existing skin-quality protocols shine: RF tightening to support firmness, microneedling to rebuild texture and collagen, and LED to calm and restore. None of it requires guessing — we start every consultation with skin imaging, so your plan is built around what your skin needs right now, not a generic script.

If this sounds like where you are, we'd love to talk it through; no judgment, just a plan.

HydraFacial vs. a Traditional Facial: What Our Etobicoke Clients Ask Us Most

It's the question we hear most at the front desk: "Isn't a facial just a facial?" Not quite and knowing the difference helps you book the right treatment for what your skin actually needs.

HydraFacial and a Traditional facial A traditional facial focuses on cleansing, steam, and manual extractions — a relaxing reset for your skin. Our Signature HydraFacial goes several steps further: a multi-step treatment that cleanses while it chemically and physically exfoliates, provides painless extraction through its vortex technology, and soaks the skin with hydration, customized to your skin from the very first step.

Here's what makes it different at GLOW: every new client receives advanced skin imaging, so we're never guessing. We customize serums and focus areas to your specific concerns; congestion, dullness, fine lines, uneven tone, instead of running the same protocol on every client who sits in the chair.

A traditional facial is a lovely, relaxing choice when your skin just needs a breather. A HydraFacial is the better fit when you want a visible, deep clean that pairs well with other modalities for measurable results you can see the moment you leave: smoother texture, more even tone, and a genuine glow, not just a temporary flush.
