Skin can appear dry, uneven, congested, or tired for many reasons. Environmental exposure, daily makeup, dehydration, aging, and excess oil can all affect the appearance of the complexion. At The Beauty & Balance Spot, a wellness center serving Hollywood, Davie, Cooper City, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and surrounding South Florida communities, the Candela Glacē™ hydrodermabrasion treatment provides a structured approach to cleansing, resurfacing, extracting, and hydrating the skin.
The Glacé treatment combines professional exfoliation, vacuum-assisted extraction, and targeted serum infusion in one relaxing experience. It is a suitable option for individuals concerned with dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne-prone or congested skin, and dull complexion. Treatment settings and products are selected by trained professional staff based on each client’s skin condition and goals.

What Is Glacé Hydrodermabrasion?
Hydrodermabrasion is a water-based facial treatment that exfoliates the outer surface of the skin while helping to remove impurities and deliver hydrating serums. The Candela Glacē system combines hydro-infusion with diamond-integrated microdermabrasion tips and optional cupping techniques.
Unlike dry exfoliation alone, the Glacé process incorporates liquid and serum infusion during the treatment. This supports a more comfortable resurfacing experience while helping the skin look smoother, cleaner, and more hydrated.
The treatment may improve the appearance of:
- Dryness and tight-feeling skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven texture
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Excess oil and surface congestion
- Acne-prone skin and visible impurities
Individual results vary. Glacé is a cosmetic skin treatment and is not intended to diagnose or treat dermatological or medical conditions. A consultation is recommended before treatment, particularly for clients with active irritation, infection, open lesions, or a current dermatology treatment plan.
The Glacé Treatment Steps
1. Skin Assessment and Preparation
Each session begins with an assessment of the skin and a discussion of the client’s concerns. The trained professional staff reviews factors such as dryness, sensitivity, congestion, texture, and current skincare products.
The face is then prepared for treatment with a gentle cleanse. Removing surface makeup, oil, and debris allows the Glacé handpiece and selected serums to work more evenly.
2. Exfoliation and Resurfacing
The first primary step is controlled exfoliation using a precision diamond-integrated tip. The handpiece glides across the skin to help remove dead surface cells and refine the appearance of rough texture.
This resurfacing step may help the complexion look:
- Smoother
- Softer
- More even
- More radiant
- Better prepared for serum application
The Glacé system is designed to provide effective exfoliation while supporting client comfort. Settings and tips may be adjusted according to the treatment area and individual skin needs.
3. Extraction of Impurities
The next step uses vacuum-assisted technology to help lift excess oil, debris, and impurities from the pores. This is especially useful for clients with visible congestion, blackheads, or oily areas.
Professional extraction can help the skin appear cleaner without relying solely on manual pressure. The process is customized to avoid unnecessary irritation and may be used across the face, neck, or décolletage when appropriate.
For acne-prone skin, the goal is to improve the appearance of congestion and support a cleaner-looking complexion. Glacé does not replace medical acne care, but it may be incorporated into a broader skincare plan when considered appropriate by a qualified professional.
4. Targeted Serum Infusion
Once the skin has been exfoliated and impurities have been removed, the treatment moves into the infusion phase. Selected serums are delivered with the hydro-infusion process to support hydration, nourishment, and visible radiance.
This phase may be customized for concerns such as:
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Dull complexion
- Uneven-looking texture
- Fine lines
- Skin needing a refreshed appearance
The two-phase approach is one of the defining features of the Glacé procedure. Phase A focuses on cleansing, exfoliating, and extracting. Phase B focuses on infusing, restoring, and nourishing the appearance of the skin.
5. Optional Cupping and Finishing Care
Depending on the treatment plan, the session may include dual-mode cupping. Gentle suction is used as part of a facial massage technique to support circulation and help reduce the appearance of puffiness.
The session may conclude with calming finishing products selected for the client’s skin. Professional guidance may also include sun protection and recommendations for maintaining the results at home.
Benefits for Dry, Aging, Acne-Prone, and Dull Skin
Dry Skin
The combination of exfoliation and hydro-infusion helps remove surface buildup while adding hydration during the procedure. Skin may feel softer and more comfortable after treatment, with a smoother appearance and improved glow.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Resurfacing helps refine the look of uneven texture, while hydration can temporarily make the skin appear plumper. With consistent skincare and professional treatments, the appearance of fine lines may look softened. Glacé is not a substitute for medical or injectable anti-aging treatments, but it can be part of a personalized skin maintenance routine.
Acne-Prone or Congested Skin
Vacuum-assisted extraction helps remove surface impurities and excess oil. The treatment can support a clearer-looking complexion and reduce the appearance of congestion. Clients with active acne, significant inflammation, or prescribed acne medication should receive individualized guidance before scheduling.
Dull Skin
Exfoliation removes dead surface cells that can make skin appear flat or tired. The infusion phase adds hydration and targeted nutrients, helping the complexion look brighter, fresher, and more luminous immediately after treatment.
Extending Results With the BBS Glow Collection
Professional treatments and home skincare work together. The BBS Glow Collection helps support the appearance of clean, hydrated, balanced skin between Glacé appointments.
Purify & Glow Cleanser
The Purify & Glow Cleanser is designed to remove daily buildup while supporting a fresh, radiant appearance. Its listed ingredients include allantoin, panthenol, glycerin, and glycolic acid.
- Allantoin helps soothe the appearance of skin.
- Panthenol supports hydration.
- Glycerin helps maintain moisture.
- Glycolic acid provides gentle exfoliating support.
Use the cleanser as directed by the wellness center’s skincare professional. Avoid adding additional exfoliating products immediately after a Glacé treatment unless specifically recommended.
Balance & Glow Moisturizer
The Balance & Glow Moisturizer helps support hydration after exfoliation and infusion. Its highlighted ingredients include aloe vera, apple extract, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E.
This moisturizer may help skin feel:
- Softer
- More comfortable
- Less tight
- More hydrated
- Smoother in appearance
Applying moisturizer consistently helps support the skin barrier and maintain the dewy look associated with a professional facial.
Hydrate & Glow Eye Serum
The Hydrate & Glow Eye Serum is designed for the delicate eye area. It supports a hydrated, refreshed appearance and may help minimize the look of dryness and fine lines around the eyes.
Apply a small amount as directed, using gentle tapping motions without pulling the skin. Because the eye area is sensitive, product tolerance and application frequency should be discussed with a trained professional when needed.
