Advanced Facial
Treatments
Advanced Facial Treatments are designed to deliver more targeted, results-driven care through the use of advanced modalities and corrective techniques. While still grounded in a customized approach, these treatments focus on improving skin function, refining texture, and addressing more specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation, and visible signs of aging.
At Glow Studio, each treatment is selected and customized based on how your skin presents, allowing for a more precise and effective approach. These services go beyond maintenance, using more advanced methods to support skin renewal, improve tone and elasticity, and enhance overall results — all while maintaining a strong focus on skin health and balance.
THESERA L Thread Lift Facial
The THESERA L Thread Lift Facial is an advanced Korean lifting treatment designed to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality using innovative melting thread technology.
This results-driven treatment works beneath the surface to support the skin’s structure, helping to visibly lift, smooth, and refine the complexion over time. It’s ideal for skin experiencing loss of firmness, fine lines, uneven texture, or a general lack of support and resilience.
This facial follows a structured, intentional protocol, where each step is performed with purpose to build results throughout the treatment.
The experience begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a targeted exfoliation using a blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids. This step gently resurfaces the skin, refines texture, and prepares it for optimal absorption.
Dermaplaning may be added at this stage to further enhance results. By removing surface buildup and vellus hair, the skin is left exceptionally smooth while allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
Thesera’s proprietary TDN technology is then used to help clear excess sebum and impurities while creating micro-channels within the skin. This allows for deeper, more effective delivery of ingredients while supporting healthy skin function.
Once the skin is fully prepped, nano-sized melting threads made from chitosan and fibroin are infused into the skin. These collagen-supporting proteins help improve elasticity, reinforce structure, and promote a firmer, more refined appearance.
The treatment is completed with a high-tension gel mask that helps visibly lift, firm, and contour the skin while sealing in hydration and active ingredients.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven texture and dullness
• Skin that feels depleted or lacking structure
What to Expect:
Skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment, with a noticeable smoothing and firming effect.
Over the following days, the skin continues to improve as hydration increases and structural support is enhanced. With consistency, the skin appears firmer, more refined, and more balanced.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help support long-term skin health and preserve results.
The Thesera L homecare kit is recommended to extend and maintain your results between treatments.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is customized based on your skin’s condition on the day of your appointment.
Not recommended for skin that is actively irritated or inflamed, including active acne, rosacea, dermatitis, or sunburn.
Not suitable for clients with shellfish allergies due to chitosan-derived ingredients.
During pregnancy, the exfoliation step will be omitted.
A consultation will ensure this treatment is appropriate for your skin.

THESERA H Hydration Facial
The THESERA H Hydration Facial is an advanced Korean hydration treatment designed to deeply replenish the skin, improve moisture retention, and restore overall skin balance by activating aquaporins—the skin’s natural water channels.
Unlike traditional hydrating facials that focus on surface moisture, this treatment works from within—delivering hydration where the skin needs it most. It’s especially beneficial for skin experiencing dehydration, dullness, loss of elasticity, or hormonal changes commonly seen in perimenopausal and menopausal skin.
This facial follows a structured, intentional protocol, where each step is performed with purpose to build hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and support long-term skin health.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse, followed by the Hydroglow Deep Dermaling step using 15% lactic acid, seawater, and amino acids. This gentle resurfacing step smooths the skin while helping to replenish its natural moisture levels, preparing the skin for deeper hydration.
Dermaplaning may be added at this stage to further refine the skin and enhance product absorption. By removing surface buildup and vellus hair, the skin is left smooth and better able to receive the full benefits of the treatment.
The Hydroglow Cell Stimuler is then applied, creating a controlled warming response that activates the skin. This step supports aquaporin activation, helping to open the skin’s natural hydration pathways so moisture can move more efficiently within the skin.
Once the skin is activated, the Hydroglow Cell Recovery Ampoule is applied to deliver deep, lasting hydration. This step helps replenish moisture levels while supporting overall skin health, leaving the skin feeling plump, nourished, and more resilient.
The treatment is completed with the Hydroglow Deep Emulsion, which helps seal hydration into the skin while reinforcing the barrier and reducing moisture loss.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Dehydrated, dry, or moisture-depleted skin
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Fine lines and crepey texture
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Hormonal skin changes (perimenopause and menopause)
• Compromised or weakened skin barrier
What to Expect:
Skin will appear more hydrated, plump, and refreshed immediately after treatment, with improved softness and a smoother texture.
There is little to no downtime. Mild warmth or redness may occur and typically resolves within a few hours.
In the days following treatment, the skin continues to improve as hydration levels increase and the skin becomes more balanced, resilient, and radiant.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Maintenance treatments every 4–8 weeks help support ongoing hydration and long-term skin health.
The Thesera H homecare kit is recommended to extend and maintain your results between treatments.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is customized based on your skin’s condition on the day of your appointment.
Suitable for sensitive and hormonally changing skin. If the skin is more reactive or compromised, certain steps may be adjusted to support the skin barrier.
A consultation will ensure this treatment is appropriate for your skin.

THESERA G Skin Renewal Facial
The THESERA G Skin Renewal Facial is an advanced Korean treatment designed to improve texture, support cellular turnover, and restore overall skin clarity using naturally derived spicule technology.
This treatment works by stimulating the skin from within using microscopic, needle-like spicules derived from sea sponge. These spicules are gently pressed into the skin, where they help support natural exfoliation, clear buildup, and encourage cellular regeneration over the following 72 hours.
Think of this treatment as a progressive, internal exfoliation. Rather than removing the surface layer of skin immediately, it works from within—allowing your skin to renew itself over the next few days for smoother, clearer, and more refined results.
Unlike traditional exfoliation, this treatment goes beyond the surface, helping to improve skin function over time. It’s ideal for skin experiencing congestion, uneven texture, acne, or dullness.
This facial follows a structured, intentional protocol, where each step is performed with purpose to support renewal, clarity, and long-term skin health.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse to remove buildup and prepare the skin.
The Growth DIA Pin is then applied, delivering the spicules into the skin using a controlled tapping and massaging technique. This step activates the skin’s natural renewal process while helping to clear impurities and refine texture from within.
Once the spicules are applied, the Growth DIA Ampoule is infused into the skin to support regeneration and recovery. This step helps calm the skin while encouraging repair and strengthening overall skin function.
The treatment is completed with the Growth DIA Cream Mask, which helps nourish, soothe, and reinforce the skin barrier while supporting the skin through its renewal cycle.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Acne and congestion
• Uneven texture and rough skin
• Enlarged pores
• Post-acne marks and pigmentation
• Fine lines and early signs of aging
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Skin needing deeper renewal and regeneration
What to Expect:
This treatment is different from a traditional facial—results develop over several days as your skin completes its natural renewal cycle.
Immediately after treatment, the skin may feel slightly sensitive, tight, or textured. This is a normal part of the process, as the spicules remain active within the skin.
Over the next 48–72 hours, the skin begins to renew. You may experience dryness, light flaking, or a sandpaper-like texture as the skin naturally sheds and regenerates.
As the skin completes this cycle, it becomes smoother, clearer, and more refined, with improved texture and overall skin clarity.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 2–3 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Maintenance treatments may be performed as needed to support continued skin clarity and renewal.
The Thesera G homecare kit is recommended to support the skin during its renewal cycle and enhance results.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is customized based on your skin’s condition on the day of your appointment.
Not recommended for skin that is currently compromised, including sunburn, dermatitis, or an impaired skin barrier.
Caution is advised for clients with shellfish allergies due to marine-derived ingredients.
Some sensitivity, dryness, or flaking is expected as part of the skin renewal process.
A consultation will ensure this treatment is appropriate for your skin.

HOUSE OF PLLA® Korean Needle-Free Filler Facial
The HOUSE OF PLLA® Korean Needle-Free Filler Facial is an advanced treatment designed to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality — without the use of needles or downtime. Developed through Korean skincare innovation, HOUSE OF PLLA® focuses on supporting the skin through collagen stimulation and advanced skin-repairing formulations for visible, long-term results.
This facial follows a structured treatment protocol, where each step is performed with intention to build results throughout the service.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse to prepare the skin, followed by a customized exfoliation designed to refine texture, remove buildup, and create a smooth surface for optimal product absorption.
Dermaplaning may be added to this treatment for enhanced exfoliation and a smoother, more refined finish, depending on your skin’s needs and preferences.
A targeted preparation phase follows, using specialized treatment products to support the skin and enhance the effectiveness of the next steps. A concentrated PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) ampoule is then applied in sections of the face and neck to begin stimulating collagen activity within the skin.
A customized PLLA activating mask is carefully applied and sealed over the skin, allowing the treatment to fully absorb and penetrate. This step remains on the skin for an extended period, supporting deeper infusion while visibly enhancing hydration and plumpness.
During this phase, the skin is supported as the treatment processes — allowing the ingredients to work within the skin while also creating a firmer, more refined appearance. LED light therapy and upper body massage may be incorporated during this time to enhance both results and relaxation.
Once the mask is removed, the skin is replenished with targeted finishing products designed to calm, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, leaving the skin smooth, lifted, and radiant.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Loss of firmness + elasticity
• Fine lines + early signs of aging
• Skin laxity + thinning skin
• Uneven texture
• Dull, tired-looking skin
What You Can Expect:
After one treatment, the skin typically appears more hydrated, smoother, and visibly refreshed, with a subtle plumping effect and improved overall radiance.
As collagen production is stimulated over time, results continue to build — supporting firmer, more resilient skin, improved elasticity, and a more refined texture with a series of treatments.
Unlike traditional filler treatments, this facial works by encouraging your skin to produce its own collagen over time, creating gradual, natural-looking results rather than immediate volume.
With consistent treatments, the skin becomes stronger, more resilient, and visibly firmer and more refined.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 3–5 treatments is recommended for best results. Treatments may be performed weekly or every 2 weeks during the initial series to allow PLLA to build progressively within the skin.
As results develop, treatments can be spaced further apart, with maintenance recommended every 3–6 months to support continued collagen stimulation and long-term skin health.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is designed to be gentle and suitable for most skin types.
There are no known contraindications to topical PLLA; however, your treatment will always be adjusted based on your skin’s condition at the time of your appointment.
Because PLLA builds progressively within the skin, harsh exfoliation, chemical peels, and aggressive treatments should be avoided before and after your service.
Some clients, especially those with sensitive skin, may experience mild redness or temporary sensitivity.

Treatment time varies based on your skin’s needs and protocol progression.
Korean Regenerative Microneedling
A results-driven microneedling treatment designed to repair, strengthen, and visibly improve the skin—without the intensity of medical-grade procedures.
This advanced facial follows a structured treatment protocol, combining cosmetic-depth microneedling with Korean regenerative skincare to support collagen production, improve skin texture, refine pores, and restore overall skin health.
During treatment, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin to stimulate the natural healing response while allowing targeted Korean ampoules to be infused more effectively where the skin needs it most.
At Glow Studio, this treatment is performed using an advanced microneedling device that combines LED light therapy and microcurrent (EMS) to further support skin repair, circulation, and overall treatment results.
Unlike traditional microneedling, which often focuses primarily on stimulation, Korean microneedling takes a more skin-repair approach—supporting hydration, barrier function, and overall skin health throughout the treatment.
The result is smoother, stronger, more resilient skin with progressive, natural-looking improvement over time.
Korean skincare is known for its regenerative, skin-first approach—focusing on strengthening and repairing the skin over time rather than aggressive correction.
This is why microneedling is paired with targeted infusion solutions. The micro-channels created during treatment allow advanced ingredients like peptides and exosomes to penetrate more effectively, helping support collagen production, improve skin function, and enhance overall results.
At Glow Studio, I use Pfect-A professional solutions because they are specifically formulated for microneedling and skin regeneration—combining advanced peptides, exosomes, and skin-repair ingredients to support healthier, stronger, more resilient skin with each treatment.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Fine lines + early signs of aging
• Acne scarring + uneven texture
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone + dullness
• Loss of firmness + elasticity
• Overall skin clarity, strength, and resilience
Your Treatment Options:
At the time of booking, you will choose your targeted infusion based on your skin goals:
• Peptide Infusion
Supports firming, smoothing, and overall skin renewal. Ideal for maintaining healthy skin, improving elasticity, and addressing early signs of aging.
• Exosome Infusion
Supports advanced repair, regeneration, and skin recovery. Ideal for compromised skin, post-acne concerns, and more intensive rejuvenation.
What You Can Expect:
This treatment is designed to deliver progressive, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
During treatment, you may feel a light vibration or mild prickling sensation as the microneedling device moves across the skin. The addition of LED light therapy and microcurrent helps support circulation, skin repair, and overall treatment performance.
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24–72 hours as the skin begins its renewal process.
Over time, you can expect:
• Smoother, more refined skin texture
• Improved tone and clarity
• Increased hydration and glow
• Stronger, healthier skin barrier
• Gradual improvement in firmness and elasticity
Recommended Plan:
A series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for best results.
This treatment works by stimulating collagen and supporting skin renewal over time, with results continuing to improve with each session.
Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months are recommended to support long-term skin health and maintain results.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment follows a structured protocol and is performed within the scope of practice for North Carolina estheticians.
Not recommended for clients with active infections, open lesions, or compromised skin in the treatment area.
Clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently using certain medications or undergoing medical treatments should consult with their provider prior to treatment.
Mild redness, sensitivity, and tightness are normal after treatment and typically resolve within 24–72 hours.
To support optimal healing and results, sun exposure, heat, and active skincare ingredients should be avoided during the initial recovery period.

KrX PD-13 Therapy Facial
The KrX PD-13 Therapy Facial is an advanced, corrective treatment designed to calm inflammation, support acne- and rosacea-prone skin, and restore overall skin balance. Rooted in Korean skincare innovation, this treatment combines a specialized photosensitizing solution with LED light therapy to help reduce redness, regulate oil production, and support the skin’s natural healing process.
This facial follows a structured treatment protocol, where each step is performed with intention to calm, correct, and strengthen the skin.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a gentle enzyme exfoliation to remove buildup and prepare the skin. If appropriate, targeted extractions may be performed to help clear congestion while minimizing irritation.
The PD-13 Therapy solution is then applied to the skin. This specialized photosensitizing treatment is designed to work in a completely dark environment, allowing the active ingredients to fully penetrate and activate within the skin without interference from external light. During this phase, you will rest comfortably in total darkness for approximately 20 minutes.
Clients may experience a warm, tingling, or slightly itchy sensation during this step, which is a normal response as the treatment begins working to calm inflammation and support skin repair.
Following this, a 30-minute red LED light therapy session is performed to further reduce inflammation, support healing, and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. During this time, a relaxing upper body, arm, and hand massage is incorporated to create a calming, restorative experience.
A soothing repair mask is applied to calm, hydrate, and support the skin barrier. During this time, a relaxing scalp or upper body massage is incorporated, allowing the skin to recover while you fully unwind.
The treatment is finished with customized products to protect and support the skin, followed by guidance on your home care routine to help maintain and improve your results between visits.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Acne + active breakouts
• Rosacea + redness
• Inflammation + sensitivity
• Excess oil + imbalance
• Congestion + clogged pores
What You Can Expect:
After one treatment, some clients may notice the skin feels calmer, less irritated, and more balanced, with a reduction in surface redness and inflammation. For others, changes may be more subtle — especially if the skin is more inflamed or congested.
Because acne and inflammation develop over time, improvement also takes time. This treatment is designed to begin calming the skin and supporting its healing process, rather than forcing immediate results.
With consistent treatments, the skin becomes clearer, more stable, and better able to regulate oil and prevent future breakouts.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best results, depending on the severity of acne or inflammation.
Results develop gradually as the skin becomes calmer, clearer, and more balanced. Maintenance treatments may be performed as needed to support long-term skin health and prevent future breakouts.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is designed to gently calm and rebalance acne-prone and reactive skin.
Your treatment will always be customized based on your skin’s condition. PD-13 Therapy is not recommended for clients with certain allergies (including to methyl aminolevulinate, peanut, or almond oil), those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those currently taking specific medications or undergoing medical treatments.
Clients with photosensitivity or recent sun exposure may need to postpone treatment.
Some mild sensitivity or tenderness may occur after your appointment and typically resolves within a few days. Proper aftercare and sun protection are essential to support healing and results.
Understanding Acne + The Healing Process:
Acne is often an underlying skin condition, not just what is visible on the surface. Many breakouts begin deep within the skin before they become noticeable.
As the skin begins to heal and turnover is supported through treatment, underlying congestion may be brought to the surface more quickly. This can sometimes appear as an increase in breakouts in the early stages of treatment.
While this can feel discouraging, it is often part of the process — not new acne forming, but existing congestion being cleared more efficiently.
With consistency and the right treatment plan, the skin becomes clearer, more balanced, and better able to prevent future breakouts.
This treatment is ideal for clients in the active or inflamed stage of acne, and may also be recommended as a starting point before introducing more advanced corrective treatments.

Treatment time varies based on your skin’s condition and level of correction needed.
O’Melon Omega Green Facial
The O’Melon Omega Green Facial is a calming, corrective treatment designed for skin experiencing inflammatory acne, rosacea, chronic redness, congestion, or barrier disruption. Rooted in Korean skincare innovation, this advanced therapy focuses on calming inflammation first — because when the skin is supported and balanced, real correction can begin.
At the center of this treatment is the Omega Green Complex, featuring Chlorophyllin Copper Complex and soothing, skin-repairing ingredients known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This combination helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, regulate oil production, and support overall skin healing while strengthening the skin barrier.
This facial follows a structured treatment protocol, where each step is performed with intention to calm, correct, and restore the skin.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse to remove buildup and prepare the skin. A targeted exfoliation step using the HEXA complex is then performed to gently refine the skin and prepare it for treatment. If appropriate, targeted extractions may be performed to help clear congestion while minimizing irritation.
The skin is then carefully prepped, and the Omega Green treatment solution is applied to acne-prone or inflamed areas. This specialized formula works to calm inflammation, reduce bacteria, and support the skin’s natural healing process.
Depending on your skin’s condition, nano-infusion may be incorporated to enhance penetration and allow the treatment to work more effectively within the skin.
The treatment is then activated under blue LED light therapy, while the skin is occluded to support deeper absorption. During this time, a relaxing upper body massage is incorporated, creating a calming, restorative experience while the treatment works within the skin.
The skin is gently cleansed, and if needed, a cooling cryo mask is applied to reduce heat, soothe inflammation, and calm reactive skin. This is followed by a second Omega treatment mask, allowing continued support for healing, hydration, and barrier repair. A hand and arm massage is incorporated during this phase.
A final blue and red LED light therapy session is performed to further reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and support overall skin recovery.
The treatment is completed with customized finishing products to protect, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, leaving the skin feeling calmer, clearer, and more balanced.
What This Treatment Supports:
• Inflammatory acne + breakouts
• Rosacea + chronic redness
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Congestion + excess oil
• Barrier damage + irritation
What You Can Expect:
After one treatment, the skin often feels calmer, more hydrated, and less irritated, with a visible reduction in redness for many clients. For more inflamed or reactive skin, improvement may be more gradual as the skin begins to stabilize.
Recommended Plan:
A series of 4–6 treatments performed weekly is recommended for best results, especially for acne-prone or inflamed skin.
This treatment works to progressively calm inflammation, reduce breakouts, and support skin healing over time. Maintenance treatments may be performed as needed to help keep the skin clear, balanced, and supported.
Safety + Skin Health:
This treatment is designed to be gentle, calming, and supportive for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive skin.
Omega Green may be safely performed during pregnancy and is often used to support inflamed or compromised skin.
Your treatment will always be customized based on your skin’s condition. If the skin is highly inflamed, certain steps may be adjusted to protect and support the skin barrier.
There is little to no downtime. Some clients may experience mild redness or tingling, which typically resolves within a few hours.
With consistent treatments, the skin becomes stronger, more balanced, and better able to regulate oil and inflammation — leading to clearer, more resilient skin over time.
