If you’ve ever had a Hydrafacial, you know the feeling: you walk out with clean, bouncy, glowing skin and you’re already planning the next one. I know that feeling well. Before I opened Britt D Aesthetics, I was a Master Hydrafacialist and a certified Hydrafacial trainer.
So when it came time to choose the signature facial for my studio here in Mooresville, I didn’t choose lightly. I chose Glo2. Here’s the honest difference between the two, and why I’m so excited to bring Glo2 home to Lake Norman. 🩵
First things first: I love a Hydrafacial
No shade here. Hydrafacial is a great treatment, and it’s one of the most recognized facials in the world for a reason. It uses patented technology to cleanse, extract and hydrate in three steps:
- Cleanse + peel: gentle exfoliation and resurfacing uncover a fresh layer of skin.
- Extract + hydrate: painless suction removes debris from your pores, then skin is treated with hydrating serums.
- Fuse + protect: your skin is saturated with antioxidants and peptides to maximize glow.
If you love your results, you’re going to love what Glo2 does too.
So what is a Glo2Facial?
Glo2Facial is a professional facial by Geneo that combines several technologies in one treatment. Its signature step is called Oxfoliation™: exfoliation and oxygenation working at the same time.
Here’s how it works. I choose a customized OxyPod for your skin, filled with active, naturally derived ingredients. As it works, you’ll feel a slight tingly, effervescent, bubbly sensation. That’s your skin’s natural oxygenation process being activated (Geneo credits a natural reaction called the Bohr Effect). From there:
- Ultrasound uses gentle warmth to help your serum absorb, leaving your skin hydrated and plump.
- A hands-free detox massage helps reduce the look of redness and puffiness.
- RF Firm + Lift (optional): Geneo’s RF Pro is FDA-cleared radiofrequency that improves the appearance of mild to moderate facial wrinkles.
Hydrafacial vs. Glo2Facial at a glance
| Hydrafacial | Glo2Facial | |
|---|---|---|
| The big idea | Cleanse, extract and hydrate | Exfoliate and oxygenate, then infuse |
| How it exfoliates | Gentle exfoliation and peel | Oxfoliation™ with a customized OxyPod |
| Pores | Painless suction extraction | Exfoliation plus oxygenation, with no suction step |
| Getting ingredients in | Antioxidants and peptides fused into the skin | Ultrasound infusion of your serum |
| Extras | Options vary by provider | Hands-free detox massage, plus optional FDA-cleared RF Firm + Lift |
Both leave your skin clean, hydrated and glowing. The difference is in how they get you there.
Why I chose Glo2 for Britt D Aesthetics
- It’s customized. Your OxyPod and serums are chosen for your skin and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
- It’s for everyone. Glo2 works for every skin type and concern, including sensitive, acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin.
- Firming is built in. With RF Pro, I can add FDA-cleared radiofrequency right into your facial for firmer-looking skin.
- You’ll feel it working. Deep cleansing. Oxygenating. Refreshing. The bubbly Oxfoliation step is the one clients talk about most.
- No downtime. You can get right back to your day. I just recommend skipping makeup for 24 hours (tinted SPF is totally fine).
Which facial is right for you?
If you’ve been a Hydrafacial regular, Glo2 is an easy switch: same clean, glowing finish, plus oxygenation, ultrasound infusion and the option to add firming RF in the same visit. If you’re brand new to professional facials, Glo2 is the perfect place to start, because it’s the foundation of healthy skin.
Glo2 results typically last 4–6 weeks, so many of my clients come in monthly to maintain their glow.
