What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), as well as Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm.

Do I have to start with the New Client Consultation?

Yes. Every new client starts with the New Client Consultation, which includes a full skin analysis and your first foundational treatment. This ensures your treatment plan is built around your actual skin, not a generic protocol, and determines whether you're ready to move into an advanced corrective series like microneedling.

What happens during my New Client Consultation?

We start with a one-on-one conversation about your skin history and goals, followed by a hands-on skin analysis. From there, I will walk you through a personalized treatment plan, including whether your skin is prepped for a corrective series or if we need to focus on barrier repair first. Your first customized treatment is included in this visit, so you leave having already started your journey.

Is microneedling safe for melanin-rich skin?

Yes, when done correctly. The risk of worsening hyperpigmentation comes from the wrong needle depth, an unprepared skin barrier, or a provider without specialized training not from microneedling itself. Every protocol at Glow Aesthetics Studio is built specifically with melanin-rich skin in mind to safely and effectively clear hyperpigmentation and texture.

How much downtime should I expect?

Downtime varies by treatment. For most corrective treatments like microneedling, expect mild redness for a day or two, not extended peeling or visible downtime. You'll leave with specific aftercare instructions, but general guidelines include avoiding direct sun exposure, always wearing SPF, skipping harsh actives (retinol, exfoliating acids) for a few days, and keeping your skin hydrated.

Are there any services you do not offer?

Yes. We are strictly a clinical skincare studio focused on facial correction, acne clearing, and scar revision. We currently do not offer any waxing services.

Are there any conditions that would prevent me from getting treatment?

Certain conditions require you to wait before booking corrective treatments, including pregnancy, active isotretinoin (Accutane) use, and recent sun exposure or sunburn. Please disclose any of these during booking so your treatment plan can be safely adjusted.

Do you offer treatments for men?

Yes, we understand that corrective skincare is not only for women, we happily accept male clients for corrective concerns like acne, acne scarring, ingrowns, post razor/clipper bumps.
