Aging skin rarely shows up as a single problem. Uneven tone, rougher texture, and lost volume tend to show up together.
Most treatments target only one at a time. SmoothGlo takes a different approach, going after all three in a single session.
Key Takeaways
- SmoothGlo pairs IPL and RF microneedling to treat tone, texture, and volume in one visit.
- Each session runs about 30 minutes, and many clients see change right away.
- A series spaced three to four weeks apart delivers the fullest results.
- We hold Certified SmoothGlo Provider status, one of the first in Central Florida.
What Is SmoothGlo?
SmoothGlo is a Lumenis-developed protocol, not something any provider can buy and offer. Providers have to complete dedicated training and pass a certification exam first.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. It means whoever performs your treatment has been tested specifically on this protocol, not just introduced to a new device.
How the Two Steps Work Together
SmoothGlo isn’t one technology doing double duty. It’s two treatments, used one after the other, each one setting up the next.
Step one: IPL – The Lumenis Stellar M22 targets pigment and visible blood vessels, breaking down sun spots and calming redness. This step also creates a mild, controlled healing response, increasing blood flow and activity in the skin.
Step two: RF microneedling – The Legend Pro creates controlled micro-injuries, and because the skin is already primed from the IPL step, the radiofrequency energy triggers a stronger response, rebuilding collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and restoring volume that thins over time.
Doing these on separate days gets you two treatments. Doing them together, in this order, is what makes SmoothGlo different from simply booking an IPL session and a microneedling session separately.
What to Expect After Your Session
You can return to normal activities right after treatment.
Some redness or swelling is common and typically fades within a few hours to a few days. Minor scabbing can also show up; that’s expected, and it sheds naturally as your skin heals.
Sun protection matters more than usual after this treatment. Stay out of direct sunlight for a few weeks, and wear sunscreen every day. Your skin is actively healing, and sun exposure can undo that progress.
Is SmoothGlo Right for You?
Most people can benefit from SmoothGlo quickly and comfortably, but it isn’t automatically right for everyone. Certain skin conditions and health factors can rule it out.
We’ll review your health history and skin goals during a complimentary consultation before confirming it’s the right fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SmoothGlo better than doing IPL and microneedling on separate days?
Yes. The IPL step calms redness and pigment first, priming your skin’s healing response so the RF microneedling step works more effectively right after, something you don’t get by booking them separately.
Do you offer consultations for SmoothGlo before booking the treatment?
Yes, we require consultations before treatment, but sometimes a consult and treatment can be scheduled back-to-back. During your consult, we discuss your concerns and create a customized plan designed to get you the results you’re looking for.
How much does SmoothGlo cost?
Pricing depends on your treatment plan and how many sessions you need. We’ll give you an accurate cost during your consultation.
Is SmoothGlo painful?
Most clients tolerate SmoothGlo well, with only mild warmth or slight discomfort during treatment.
Can I get SmoothGlo while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We generally don’t recommend this treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Let us know if this applies to you.
How long should I wait before other treatments or makeup?
We’ll let you know based on how your skin is healing, since scabbing and redness vary from person to person.
Ready to Address Tone, Texture, and Volume at Once?
You don’t need three separate treatments to fix three separate concerns. SmoothGlo was built to treat them together, and we’re trained specifically in this protocol. Schedule your consultation at Bella Viságe Medical & Aesthetic Rejuvenation and start your SmoothGlo journey.
