What is the Glow Facial?
The Holiday Glow Facial is a combination treatment performed with the Nordlys IPL and Frax 1540 laser.
A single light pass of IPL brightens the complexion and boosts circulation, followed by a low-density Frax pass to smooth texture and create a subtle plumping effect. The result is a clean, fresh, luminous look that lasts several days.
Key benefits include:
- Instant brightening
- Smoother texture
- Temporary plumping
- Pore refinement
- Zero downtime
- Comfortable and fast
Total time: Approximately 30 minutes
Suitable for: Most skin types (following consultation)

What to Expect During the Treatment

- A gentle IPL brightening pass is done across the face using sub-purpuric, cosmetic settings.
- A light Frax 1540 pass is applied to improve smoothness and promote a subtle tightening effect.

You may leave slightly pink for 10–30 minutes, but this fades quickly. You can return to work or continue your day immediately.
