Back to list

Summer can be a lot for your skin. More time outside, pool days, beach trips, extra sunscreen and steady heat can all add up. By fall, you may notice your pores look more congested, your usual products feel a little harsher or your skin looks duller than it did a few months ago.

Fall often brings a more regular routine, making it a natural time to check in with your skin and adjust your treatment plan around what it needs now. Whether that means clearing breakouts, replenishing hydration or focusing on overall skin quality, Glo₂Facial can be customized to support your skin through the seasonal shift and over time. 

What Summer Leaves Behind 

Clogged pores. Daily sunscreen is essential year-round, but summer often means wearing more of it and reapplying often. Layers of sunscreen, combined with sweat and oil, can build up and lead to congestion and breakouts. 

Sensitive skin. Your skin barrier is the outer layer that holds moisture in and keeps irritants out. A stressed skin barrier can react more easily, so a product that felt fine in May might suddenly sting or cause redness by fall. Sun, heat, chlorine and salt water can all leave skin feeling drier and more sensitized. 

Dull, uneven skin. Time in the sun can leave a buildup of dead cells on the skin’s surface, so your complexion looks less bright. Heat and sweat can dehydrate skin, too. And a summer tan doesn’t always fade evenly, which can leave patchy areas or make new sunspots more noticeable. 

All of this can happen even with a consistent daily routine. This fall, the goal isn’t to start over with your skin, but to respond to how it has changed and what it needs now. 

Why Fall Is a Good Time to Start Treatments 

Less sun makes lasers easier to plan

If summer left you with new sunspots or an uneven tone, you might be considering a laser treatment. Many laser treatments require you to limit strong sun exposure before and after your appointment. Shorter days and more time indoors help with that in fall. If lasers are part of your plan this season, Glo₂Facial can also be incorporated alongside them.  

Planning ahead for holiday events 

If you get injectables, you may already be scheduling appointments ahead of the holidays. Glo₂Facial complements them because the two focus on different aspects of your skin: injectables target specific areas, while Glo₂Facial supports overall skin quality. If you're booking both this season, your provider can recommend which treatment to schedule first and how far apart to space them. 

No downtime makes it easy to stay consistent

Glo₂Facial has no downtime, so you can go back to your day after your appointment. It's also designed for regular, repeat treatments, so you can begin in fall and continue as part of a longer-term skin plan.  

What Goes Into a Glo₂Facial Treatment 

Glo₂Facial is built around four modalities that can be tailored to your skin and goals. Together, they go beyond surface exfoliation and support skin longevity – the pursuit of healthier-looking, higher-quality skin, not only today, but over time: 

  • RF Pro uses radiofrequency technology that targets the dermal layer to boost collagen production, restore elastin and address fine lines and wrinkles. 

  • Oxfoliation™ is a patented technology that gently exfoliates while creating a bubbly, CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface. The body responds by sending increased levels of oxygen to the skin. 

  • Ultrasound uses micro-vibrations that soothe the skin and enhance the permeability of protective layer for better ingredient absorption. 

  • Detox is a hands-free massage that promotes the reduction of redness and puffiness by supporting lymphatic circulation. 

Matching Your Customization to Your Fall Skin 

Each treatment pairs those modalities with one of eight customizations designed around different skin needs. These five can be especially helpful as skin transitions to fall. 

Clarify: To purify and balance 

Targets: Oily, acne-prone skin with clogged pores or breakouts after a summer of sunscreen and sweat. 

Why it helps: Bamboo charcoal helps draw out excess oil, while lactic acid gently exfoliates to clear away buildup on the surface. 

Hero ingredients: Bamboo charcoal and lactic acid 

If your skin felt clear at the beginning of summer but is breaking out by fall, Clarify can help address buildup, clogged pores and inflammation. 

Protect: To strengthen and rebuild 

Targets: Sensitive skin that feels reactive or easily irritated after a summer of sun and heat. 

Why it helps: Protect supports the skin barrier. It helps to calm and strengthen compromised skin and reduce inflammation. 

Hero ingredients: Turmeric, goji berries, mangosteen 

Start with Protect if your skin has been more reactive lately, or if it’s always been on the sensitive side. Your provider may recommend it as a barrier-supportive option.

Energize: To awaken and stimulate

Targets: Skin that looks dull, tired or depleted after summer. 

Why it helps: Energize features caffeine and cocoa to improve blood flow, delivering soft, supple skin. 

Hero ingredients: Caffeine, cocoa, cinnamon oil 

Energize works well for puffy, tired-looking skin that could use a more refreshed appearance after summer. 

Hydrate: To refresh and replenish

Targets: Skin that feels dry or tight as temperatures drop and indoor heat turns on. 

Why it helps: Hyaluronic acid holds onto water, which helps dry skin look more hydrated.  

Hero ingredients: Blue spirulina and hyaluronic acid 

Skin can already feel dehydrated by the end of summer, and cooler, drier air can make that more noticeable. Hydrate helps replenish moisture as the seasons change.  

ExoFirm: To boost and firm

Targets: Fine lines and rough texture, which can show more when summer sun and heat leave skin dry. 

Why it helps: ExoFirm is the only Glo₂Facial customization with exosomes. It pairs plant-based CICA exosomes with 24K gold and copper to help prevent and reduce early signs of aging. 

Hero ingredients: CICA plant-based exosomes, gold, silk amino acids, rosehip oil 

If firmness and texture are your focus this fall, ask your provider about ExoFirm. They can help you decide where it fits into your plan. 

A Sample Fall Treatment Plan 

Every Glo₂Facial treatment is personalized, but here's one example of how your provider might approach your treatments this season: 

Early fall: Clarify for acne-prone, oily or congested skin, or Protect if your skin is feeling sensitive. 

Mid-fall: Energize if your skin is feeling sluggish after summer, or ExoFirm if you want to focus on early signs of aging or mild laxity. 

Late fall into winter: Hydrate if colder air leaves your skin feeling dry, dull or dehydrated. 

Caring for Your Skin Through Every Season 

Your skin doesn’t need the exact same thing all year long, and your treatments don’t have to stay the same either. Starting Glo₂Facial in the fall gives you an opportunity to address seasonal skin concerns while continuing to support skin quality through winter and beyond. With customizations designed for different needs, each appointment can address what your skin needs that day while staying connected to your skin longevity goals.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Glo₂Facial? 

Glo₂Facial is a non-invasive, energy-based skin treatment designed to deliver clinically demonstrated improvements in skin appearance with no downtime. It combines four modalities: RF Pro, Oxfoliation, Ultrasound and Detox, and offers eight customizations to match your skin's needs. 

Can I get Glo₂Facial if my skin is still recovering from summer sun?

Let your provider know about any recent sunburn, peeling or increased sensitivity before your appointment. They can help choose a customization that fits how your skin feels right now, like Protect for sensitive skin. 

How does my provider choose a customization?

Providers consider how your skin looks and feels at your appointment, along with what you want to focus on. Since your skin can change through the season, your customization can change from visit to visit, too. 

 How often should I get a Glo₂Facial? 

Your provider can recommend how often to receive a treatment and adjust your customization as your skin changes over time. They may suggest a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, but the right schedule depends on your skin, goals and overall treatment plan. 

Does Glo₂Facial have side effects? 

Side effects are mild and short-lived. Some people notice slight redness right after treatment that fades quickly. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, let your provider know so they can help you choose the right customization.
