Achieving clear, radiant skin: often referred to as the "Glass Skin" effect: is a primary goal for many individuals dealing with persistent acne, congestion, or dullness. At The Beauty & Balance Spot, we are committed to providing the most advanced technology to help you reach your wellness and beauty goals.
The newest addition to our curated menu of services is the Candela Glacē™ Hydrodermabrasion system. This technology has quickly become the gold standard for treating acne and various skin disorders while delivering a luminous, healthy glow with virtually no downtime.
What is Candela Glacē™ Hydrodermabrasion?
The Candela Glacē™ is a multi-step skin purifying ritual that goes beyond a standard facial. It is a comprehensive treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin using a specialized closed-loop system. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, which can be abrasive or drying, the Glacē system uses liquid infusion and diamond tips to refine the skin surface while simultaneously flooding it with nutrient-rich serums.
This treatment is inspired by the Korean "Glass Skin" trend, which emphasizes a complexion so smooth and hydrated that it appears reflective, like glass. By combining several clinical modalities into one session, the Candela Glacē provides a synergistic effect that addresses the root causes of skin congestion and aging.
The Four Pillars of the Glacē Treatment
The reason the Candela Glacē is so effective is its 4-in-1 technology approach. Every session at our wellness center includes these four critical steps:
1. Diamond Microdermabrasion
The treatment begins with a specialized diamond tip that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This mechanical exfoliation prepares the skin for the infusion process, ensuring that the serums can penetrate deeper into the dermis rather than just sitting on the surface.
2. Hydro-Infusion
While the diamond tip exfoliates, the machine simultaneously delivers a stream of specialized liquid serums. This "hydro-infusion" ensures that the skin is never dry during the exfoliation process, reducing irritation and providing immediate hydration to the fresh skin cells being revealed.
3. Dual-Mode Cupping Massage (Lymphatic Drainage)
One of the unique features of the Glacē system is the facial cupping massage. This step uses gentle suction to stimulate lymphatic drainage. By moving stagnant lymph fluid, we can reduce facial puffiness, detoxify the skin tissues, and improve local blood circulation. This results in a more contoured, "de-puffed" appearance and a natural flush of health.
4. LED Light Therapy
The final touch is professional-grade LED therapy. Depending on your specific skin concerns, we utilize different wavelengths:
- Blue LED: Specifically targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation in congested skin.
- Red LED: Promotes collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Gold Standard for Acne and Congestion
For those struggling with acne, finding a treatment that is effective yet gentle is a challenge. Many acne treatments can leave the skin red, peeling, or sensitive. The Candela Glacē changes that dynamic.
It is particularly effective for acne-prone skin because it addresses the three main factors of breakouts:
- Pore Clogging: The hydrodermabrasion tips and suction effectively clear out blackheads and debris from the pores.
- Bacteria: The Blue LED light therapy works to eliminate the bacteria that lead to inflammatory acne.
- Inflammation: The cooling nature of the serums and the lymphatic drainage massage help calm active redness and irritation.
Clinical observations show that this treatment is safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin, providing a deep cleanse without the "purging" or extreme dryness often associated with other clinical facials.
The Two-Phase Serum System
The Glacē treatment utilizes a sophisticated two-phase serum system to ensure your skin receives exactly what it needs at the right time.
Phase A: Cleanse, Exfoliate, and Extract
Phase A focuses on preparation. The serums used in this phase are designed to loosen debris within the pores and dissolve the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together. Ingredients like Lactic Acid and Papaya Extract (often found in our Renew & Glow protocols) help to smooth the skin texture and clear out congestion during the extraction phase.
Phase B: Infuse and Nourish
Once the skin is clear and the pores are open, Phase B takes over. This phase is about replenishment. We infuse the skin with antioxidants, hydrating agents like Hyaluronic Acid, and soothing botanicals. This stage is what creates the "Glass Skin" effect, leaving the skin plump, dewy, and deeply hydrated.
Proven Results: The Statistics
The effectiveness of the Candela Glacē is backed by impressive clinical data and patient satisfaction reports. When we talk about it being the "gold standard," we have the numbers to prove it:
- 100% of patients reported visibly cleaner skin immediately after treatment.
- 97% of patients reported significantly improved skin hydration.
- 92% of patients reported zero downtime, meaning they could return to their daily activities (or a special event) immediately.
- 91% of patients reported an overall improvement in their skin health.

The Wellness Center Experience
At The Beauty & Balance Spot, we believe that medical-grade results should be delivered in a relaxing, luxury environment. Under the guidance of Dr. Barbara Sharief (Doctor of Nursing Practice), our team ensures that every treatment is personalized to your unique skin type and health history.
Unlike high-volume clinics where treatments can feel rushed, we treat every facial as a wellness ritual. From the moment you enter our white and pink accented office, our goal is to provide a serene experience that balances both your physical appearance and your internal sense of calm.
Why Choose Hydrodermabrasion Over Traditional Facials?
Traditional facials often rely on manual extractions and topical creams. While beneficial, they often lack the "depth" required for long-term skin correction. Candela Glacē hydrodermabrasion offers several advantages:
- Precision: The machine-controlled infusion ensures an even application of active ingredients across the entire face and neck.
- Comfort: The "wet" exfoliation is much more comfortable than dry microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
- Immediate Results: You don't have to wait days to see the results. The glow is instant.
- Versatility: It is suitable for all skin tones and types, from very light to very dark skin (Fitzpatrick scales I-VI).
