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.

If your skin feels tired, puffy, or simply flat-out blah, we have just the facial to bring it back to life! The Stimu Facial is one of our most invigorating treatments, a spicy-cool experience that gets your blood flowing, tightens your complexion, and leaves you with an instant, radiant glow. Think of it as your go-to pre-event pick-me-up, post-winter wake-up, or anytime your skin needs a circulation boost.

Safe for pregnancy and suitable for all skin types, it’s the ideal introduction to facials or a quick refresh for even the most seasoned GLOW guest.

What Is The Stimu Facial?

The Stimu Facial is a circulation-enhancing, skin-brightening experience that combines thermal stimulation and cooling techniques to wake up your complexion in the most luxurious way. The treatment begins with a warming spicy pepper solution - don’t worry, it’s gentle and controlled, designed to increase microcirculation, detoxify, and oxygenate the skin. Once that fiery flush has done its job, we bring on the chill.

A cold towel, ice globes, and a cooling mask help bring inflammation down and restore balance, creating the signature fire-and-ice contrast that gives this treatment its cult following.


What It Feels Like

Clients describe the sensation as invigorating, tingly, and soothing all at once. The initial warm “peppery” phase is mild and lasts just long enough to do its job, stimulating blood flow and clearing out stagnation. Then comes the cool-down: an icy refresh using tools and products specifically chosen to calm and restore the skin. You’ll leave feeling awakened, lifted, and totally revived.


Who It's For

The beauty of the Stimu Facial lies in its versatility. It’s suitable for all skin types, ages, and concerns but it truly shines on:

  • Dull, lackluster skin

  • Congested or acne-prone skin

  • Tired complexions needing a glow-up

  • Pregnant clients seeking a safe but effective facial

  • First-timers wanting something impactful but not overwhelming

Whether you’re heading to an event, recovering from a long travel week, or just want your skin to look and feel alive again, this facial is designed for you.


The Experience, Step by Step

Your session begins in one of our peaceful, private treatment rooms. After a gentle cleanse and skin prep, your esthetician will apply the warming pepper solution, carefully monitoring your skin’s response. As the heat stimulates circulation and brings a healthy flush to the surface, we follow with a wave of cooling therapies: ice globes, cold towels, and a hydrating mask that leaves skin calm, plump, and visibly renewed.

No needles, no harsh exfoliants, no downtime, just results.


Post-Treatment Expectations

You’ll leave with a dewy, refreshed glow and tighter-looking pores. Some clients may experience mild redness, which typically fades within a few hours. Most clients love how their skin feels instantly more lifted, alive, and clear.

For best results, we recommend booking the Stimu Facial every 4 weeks or as a glow-up treatment before major events. It’s also a fabulous seasonal reset, especially after long winters or dry months. What our clients say about this treatment: " I booked my first facial ever here, and had the amazing Daria treat me! And I'm so happy I chose Glow Beauty Bar for my first facial experience! Since it was my first facial, I decided to book the "Consultation and Treatment Facial", where Daria preformed skin imaging to view any underlying skin conditions. We discussed my current skincare, and she then educated me on what I should be incorporating into my skincare for my skin type, especially because I also suffer from rosacea. Once we completed the consultation, she then recommended the Stimu facial, which left my skin feeling so amazing and glowy after we were done! Ended up purchasing their Glowtox Cleansing Oil too when I came in for my second facial (Calm - Express Facial) right before my wedding, and by far it's one of the best facial oils you can get your hands on! Highly recommend Glow Beauty Bar, and hope to be back soon in the near future!"

Ashley Cammisuli is the Founder & CEO of GLOW Beauty Bar Inc. and Glowtox. 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.

There are facials that clean, facials that calm, and then there are facials that wake up your skin. The Oxy Derm Facial is one of those glow-inducing treatments that instantly refreshes your complexion, combining deep exfoliation with a powerful antioxidant boost that leaves skin visibly brighter, smoother, and undeniably radiant.

Loved for its ability to breathe life into tired, dull, or dehydrated skin, this treatment is ideal before a special event or anytime you want your skin to look healthy, polished, and lit from within. Even better? It’s safe during pregnancy, and gentle enough for most skin types year-round.

A Facial That Works on Two Levels

The Oxy Derm Facial begins with a customized exfoliation: either dermaplaning, which gently removes dead skin and fine peach fuzz, or microdermabrasion, which buffs away surface debris and roughness. Both options allow for deeper absorption of skincare products, instantly enhancing texture and clarity.

What follows is the Oxygenating Trio, a clinical-grade antioxidant system from PCA Skin that stimulates circulation, oxygenates tissue, and fights free radicals. Think of it as skin rehab: refreshing, cooling, and reparative all at once. The result? Skin that looks brighter, feels smoother, and glows like it just got back from vacation.


What an Oxy Derm Facial Feels Like

Clients describe the treatment as deeply refreshing, with a slightly tingly exfoliation phase followed by a soothing, almost cooling effect as the oxygenating serum infuses into the skin. It’s a facial that feels like it's working, without the sting or heat of more aggressive treatments.



Who It's Great For

The Oxy Derm is one of our most versatile facials. It's a beautiful choice for:

  • First-time facial clients

  • Pregnant clients seeking a safe skin refresh

  • Anyone prepping for a wedding, photoshoot, or night out

  • Regulars who want a monthly glow-up that maintains clarity and smoothness

If your concerns include dullness, uneven texture, or general skin fatigue, this is the treatment to choose.


After the Facial

There’s no downtime, you can go about your day with nothing more than a rosy post-facial flush that fades quickly. Your skin will feel soft, smooth, and hydrated immediately after. And while the results are visible right away, they tend to get even better over the next few days as your skin fully absorbs the antioxidants and circulatory benefits.

To maintain your results, we recommend booking an Oxy Derm every four weeks, especially if you're using it as part of a long-term glow routine.

Here is what our clients say about this facial: "Wow! Very impressed with my first facial ever. I'm 56 and received a gift card from my son. From the moment you walk in your greeted with beautiful smiles, slippers and a tour. I had the Oxy Derm facial recommended by my aesthetician Daria because it was my first time and i wanted the right one needed..It was very relaxing, in a warm bed and i just enjoyed all of it. Highly ,highly recommended and Daria was so sweet and informative. I felt completely at ease for a rookie! This is an award winning hidden gem!!! And I'm booked already for my next one!!!" - Pam Eardley


Want to Take It a Step Further?

While the Oxy Derm stands strong on its own, many of our clients like to boost their results with targeted enhancements. From LED light therapy for inflammation, to a custom mask upgrade, or microcurrent for that extra lift, these add-ons are available to personalize your experience. Our estheticians will help you decide what’s right for your skin on the day of your treatment.


Aftercare You Can Count On

After your facial, we recommend avoiding exercise, hot showers, or active skincare products like retinoids and exfoliants for at least 24–48 hours. Keep things simple: hydrate, sleep on a clean pillowcase, and wear SPF daily. Your skin just did the work and now it’s time to protect that glow.


A Few Notes on Sensitivity

If you’re booking dermaplaning or microdermabrasion as part of your facial, be sure to let us know about any recent use of retinoids, nickel allergies, or history of rosacea, eczema, or highly reactive skin. We’ll always adjust based on your skin’s current state and needs.


Ready to Glow?

The Oxy Derm Facial is that perfect middle ground between clinical results and spa-like calm. It’s where gentle meets effective, and where your glow gets its second wind. Whether you’re preparing for a milestone moment or just need a little skin reset, this treatment always delivers.
