What the treatment includes
The session begins with a skin consultation and a complimentary evaluation using an advanced skin analysis device. This non-invasive scan helps identify surface concerns and hydration patterns so your esthetician can tailor the treatment. New clients receive this analysis as part of the introductory visit to create an informed first-treatment plan.
Following analysis, your facial proceeds with a deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation to remove surface debris and prepare the skin. Thorough but gentle extractions are performed only as needed, then a customized mask and finishing products are applied. A relaxing hand massage completes this portion for a polished, refreshed feel.
Massage and lymphatic technique
A signature 22-acupressure-point facial sequence and lymphatic drainage massage covers the face, neck, shoulders, décolletage, and scalp. This combination is aimed at increasing circulation, reducing puffiness, easing muscle tension, and supporting a more even skin tone while promoting immediate relaxation — results many local clients describe as glowing and de-stressed.
Pressure and technique are adjusted for sensitivity, dryness, or reactive skin so the massage remains therapeutic without irritation. The treatment balances relaxation with practical care; where congestion is present, targeted massage and careful extractions are used, and returning clients are offered the Bespoke Glow or Essential Glow Facial to continue tailored progress.
Advanced analysis and add-on
The advanced skin analysis device informs product selection and clinical next steps without making medical claims. For first-time guests, a complimentary enhancement — Celluma Elite LED light therapy — is included to support the facial’s effects. This add-on is provided at no extra charge during the introductory 75-minute service and is integrated into the flow of treatment.
Glow Esthetics is located in Downtown San Bruno, convenient for commuters and travelers from nearby BART, The Shops at Tanforan, and SFO. Weekend and evening bookings suit busy schedules. Note seasonality: January and September–October are particularly popular months for first visits, when clients schedule skincare resets or post-summer check-ins.
