The Science Behind Your Glow

What is glowing skin, really?

When people say they want “glowing skin,” what they’re usually describing is skin that looks smooth, hydrated, and full of life. You know—radiant, even-toned, and just… healthy. And while everyone’s definition might vary a little, dermatologists agree that truly glowing skin is soft, supple, and has that lit-from-within vibe.

How do you actually get glowing skin?

There are two main ways to achieve that glow:

1. Smart skincare products—like retinol—that help speed up cell turnover and refresh your skin from the inside out.
   
2. Professional treatments that resurface, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin using cutting-edge tech.
   

Some of the most effective in-office treatments include:

• Clear + Brilliant, a gentle laser treatment that helps fade dullness and improve texture
  
• IPL photofacials, which target sun damage and discoloration
  
• RF microneedling, which combines radiofrequency energy and microneedles to firm skin and boost collagen
  
• Instant Glow Laser Facials, designed to give your skin a refreshed, radiant look with no downtime
  

What all these treatments have in common is that they create tiny, controlled “damage” in the skin—which might sound scary, but it’s actually a good thing. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of fresh collagen and bringing newer, brighter skin to the surface.

The secret sauce: hydration + boosters

After you’ve resurfaced the skin, hydration is key. That’s where Hydrafacials come in. These non-invasive facials cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse your skin with ultra-hydrating serums. They’re the perfect way to prep your skin for an event or to maintain your glow all year long.

Want to level up even further? Add Rejuran Salmon DNA to your treatment plan. Rejuran is a topical booster specifically applied after Clear + Brilliant or RF microneedling treatments. It’s made with polynucleotides—natural building blocks that help repair and regenerate the skin. Think of it as next-level skin rehab that helps calm inflammation, improve elasticity, and supercharge your glow.

Your game plan for radiant skin

To keep your glow going strong, don’t forget the basics: hydrate, moisturize, rest, and relax. Glowing skin doesn’t just come from treatments—it’s about a balanced, consistent skincare routine and healthy habits.
