Is Glo2Facial the same as HydraFacial?

They're similar in concept (deep cleanse, exfoliation, hydration, no downtime) but different in technology. HydraFacial uses vortex suction and serum infusion. Glo2Facial uses CO₂ bubbles (Oxfoliation™), electroporation, and LED. Both work great — Glo2Facial has some additional skin-health benefits at the cellular level.

Which is better for acne or oily skin?

HydraFacial's extraction step is particularly effective for congested pores, blackheads, and oily skin. Glo2Facial is also well-tolerated by oily skin and can be customized for breakout-prone complexions. Your provider will choose the right serum or pod for your specific concern.

Which is better for dry or sensitive skin?

Both are excellent for sensitive skin — neither causes significant redness or downtime. HydraFacial's intense serum infusion is particularly good for dry, dehydrated skin. Glo2Facial's oxygenation and calming LED therapy work well for sensitive or reactive complexions.

How long do results last?

Both treatments produce a visible glow for 1–2 weeks, with cumulative improvement when done monthly. Regular monthly or bi-monthly treatments produce the most significant long-term results for skin clarity, texture, and tone.

Where can I get HydraFacial or Glo2Facial at RELUXE?

HydraFacial is available at our Westfield location (514 E State Road 32). Glo2Facial is available at both Westfield and Carmel (10485 N Pennsylvania St, Suite 150). Both are bookable online or by calling either location.

How HydraFacial Works

HydraFacial uses a patented vortex suction tip to simultaneously cleanse, exfoliate, and extract impurities while infusing skin with hydrating serums. The process has three steps: cleanse + peel (loosens debris), extract + hydrate (painless suction removes blackheads while infusing antioxidants), and fuse + protect (saturates skin with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors). Results are immediate — a deeper clean, smaller-looking pores, and a visible glow that many patients describe as their best skin day. Available at our Westfield location.

How Glo2Facial Works

Glo2Facial uses Oxfoliation™ technology — a specialized OxPod that creates CO₂ bubbles when activated by gel on the skin. These bubbles trigger a natural response: the body sends oxygen-rich blood to the treatment area to restore balance (the Bohr Effect). This oxygenation is combined with ultrasound, electroporation, and LED therapy to infuse active ingredients deeper into the skin than topicals alone. The result is a more cellular approach to hydration, collagen support, and tone improvement. Available at both Westfield and Carmel.

Which Produces Better Results?

For immediate pore cleansing and dramatic same-day hydration, HydraFacial has a slight edge — the vortex extraction is extremely effective at removing debris, and the serum infusion is visible. For long-term skin health, collagen stimulation, and delivery of active ingredients into deeper skin layers, Glo2Facial's electroporation and oxygenation offer additional benefits beyond surface hydration. Many patients rotate between both depending on what their skin needs that month.

Location Availability at RELUXE

HydraFacial is available at our Westfield location (514 E State Road 32). Glo2Facial is available at both Westfield and our Carmel location (10485 N Pennsylvania St, Suite 150).
