Facial Treatments
At Glow Lab, we select facial treatments according to your current skin condition, concerns, and goals instead of following the same protocol for every client.
Before treatment, a licensed professional evaluates your skin and discusses what you would like to address. If the facial you booked is not appropriate for your skin at that time, we may recommend a different option.
Our facial treatments in Manhattan can address concerns such as clogged pores, acne-prone skin, hydration, dullness, uneven-looking texture, and visible signs of aging.

Facial Treatments at Glow Lab
Glow Lab offers several facial options. Rather than repeating full treatment descriptions, this overview shows the main purpose and key distinctions of each service.
| Treatment | Main Focus | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Microdermabrasion | Mechanical exfoliation | For blackheads and uneven-looking texture. Not appropriate for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. |
| Professional Acne Treatment | Deep cleansing for acne-prone skin | Customized according to the condition of the skin and may include deep cleansing and extractions. Physician restrictions are always followed. |
| 4D Lifting Face Massage | Manual facial massage | It combines several massage techniques selected according to the client’s needs and preferences; it focuses on a firmer, more lifted appearance. |
| Microcurrent Facial | Equipment-assisted facial | Uses microcurrent as part of the protocol for a more toned and lifted appearance. Not recommended in some circumstances, including pregnancy or certain heart-related conditions. |
| Express Glow Facial | Quick customized facial | Usually about 30–45 minutes. May combine appropriate elements such as exfoliation, mask, massage, hydrodermabrasion, or microcurrent. |
| Anti-Aging Facial | Protocol for visible signs of aging | Uses professional skincare and may be combined with hydrodermabrasion, facial massage, or microcurrent depending on the skin. |
| Deep Pore Cleansing Facial | Thorough pore cleansing | May combine manual extractions with cleansing tools or equipment. Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur after deeper extractions. |
| Combined Deep Pore Cleansing | Deep cleansing plus another treatment | May combine pore cleansing with hydrodermabrasion or facial massage when appropriate for the current skin condition. |
| Hydrodermabrasion | Equipment-assisted facial treatment | Uses serums and water and may be combined with other appropriate treatments after skin assessment. |
Personalized Facial Care
Even if you book a specific facial online, your skin is assessed before treatment. In most cases, clients can receive the service they selected. However, active inflammation, sensitivity, medications, pregnancy, medical conditions, or other factors can make a particular treatment inappropriate at that time.
If another option is more suitable, your specialist will explain the recommendation and adjust the treatment accordingly. All facial treatments at Glow Lab are performed by licensed, experienced professionals using individualized protocols.
Glow Lab primarily uses professional SR Cosmetics products and also works with Christina professional skincare.
What to Expect
Most full facial treatments take approximately one hour; the Express Glow Facial usually takes about 30–45 minutes. Depending on your skin and selected treatment, a facial may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, a mask, professional serums, and moisturizing. The order and combination of these steps vary by treatment and skin condition.
After Your Facial
Deep cleansing and extractions may cause temporary redness, sensitivity, or irritation for a few days. Your specialist will provide aftercare recommendations based on the treatment performed; applying makeup immediately after a deep cleansing facial may be discouraged.

Facial Treatments FAQ
- How do I know which facial is right for me?
- You do not have to make the final decision yourself. Your specialist evaluates your skin before treatment and may recommend another option if the facial you booked is not appropriate for its current condition.
- How long does a facial take?
- Most Glow Lab facial treatments take approximately one hour. The Express Glow Facial generally takes about 30–45 minutes.
- Do I need to prepare for my facial?
- No special preparation is generally required for the standard facial treatments on this page. Tell your specialist about medications, medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and any instructions from your physician.
- Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin?
- Yes, but the treatment should be selected accordingly. Some procedures, including microdermabrasion, may not be appropriate for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
- Can I get a facial during pregnancy?
- Some standard, gentle facial treatments may be possible during pregnancy, while equipment-based procedures such as microcurrent are not recommended. Always tell your specialist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding so the protocol can be adjusted.
- Is there downtime after a facial?
- It depends on the treatment. Deep cleansing and extractions can cause temporary redness and sensitivity that may take a few days to settle.
- How many facial treatments will I need?
- One appointment may be enough when the goal is simply to refresh the appearance of the skin. Concerns such as problematic or acne-prone skin, as well as massage or anti-aging goals, may require a series of treatments. The schedule is determined individually.
- Do you offer facial treatments for men?
- Yes. Facial treatments are available for men and are customized according to skin condition, concerns, and considerations such as facial hair.
