Thinking about trying your first laser facial?
You’re not alone, advanced laser treatments are now one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture, and restore long-term radiance. But before you step into the treatment room, a little preparation can go a long way. Here’s everything you need to know to make your first Laser Facial at Glow Beauty Bar Toronto a smooth, stress-free, and glowing experience.
Before Your Appointment: Prep for Your Best Results
The key to great results starts before the laser even touches your skin.
Here’s how to prepare:
Avoid active skincare ingredients (like retinol, acids, and exfoliants) for at least 3–5 days.
Stay out of direct sun, tanned or sunburned skin is more sensitive to laser energy.
Skip self-tanners and harsh scrubs. You want your skin calm and clean.
Hydrate well. Moisturized skin responds better and heals faster.
Come makeup-free on the day of your appointment.
Your Glow specialist will begin with a personalized skin assessment to determine which Laser Facial: Lite, Fractional, Acne, or Advanced best suits your goals and skin type.
During the Treatment: What to Expect
Laser facials at Glow are comfortable and non-invasive. Depending on your chosen treatment, you may feel gentle warmth, a light tingling, or a mild “snap” sensation, all completely normal. Most sessions take about one hour, and you can return to your daily routine immediately after. Our team will guide you through every step so you feel informed, relaxed, and confident.
After Your Facial: Support the Healing Glow
Post-care is where your results truly shine.
Follow these simple steps:
Avoid heat and heavy workouts for 24–48 hours.
Skip makeup and active products for 1–2 days.
Use a gentle cleanser and rich moisturizer.
Apply SPF daily — your skin is renewing and needs protection.
Stay hydrated to support collagen production.
You may experience mild redness for a few hours, but this fades quickly, revealing fresher, smoother, more radiant skin beneath.
Your Glow, Elevated
Laser facials are a blend of science and artistry and at Glow Beauty Bar, they’re performed with the same care, precision, and luxury you expect from every one of our treatments.
