The Treatment
The "Power-Wash" for Your Complexion
Forget basic extractions. The Glownar Hydro Facial uses a specialized vortex-suction wand to perform a literal "power-wash" of your pores. While the machine gently sucks out the blackheads, dead skin, and urban debris, it simultaneously pumps in a customized cocktail of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and brighteners. It’s a 360-degree treatment that leaves you looking "snatched," de-puffed, and impossibly dewy—with absolutely zero downtime.
At Essence Medspa, we use the Glownar system because it allows us to customize every step of your facial journey. We don't just "clean" your skin; we rebuild its radiance.
- Vortex Extractions Painlessly vacuums out the "gunk" from your T-zone and pores.
- Hydro-Dermabrasion Gently polishes the skin surface to reveal a fresh, "glass-skin" texture.
- Antioxidant Infusion Floods the dermis with nutrients to fight off the stress of Chicago’s pollution.
- Cold Therapy Finish Uses a specialized cooling tool to "freeze" your results in place, shrink pores, and delete redness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good Questions, Clear Answers
Every facial protocol is refined around your skin on the day of your visit. These treatment-specific notes come directly from the facial guide for this service.
Does it hurt?
Not at all! Most clients describe the sensation as a "cool, wet paintbrush" moving across their face. It’s actually quite relaxing.
How long do the results last?
You’ll see the "Hydro-Glow" for a solid week after your session. For long-term changes in pore size and texture, we recommend monthly maintenance.
Will my skin be red?
Nope. You’ll leave looking dewy and "plump." You can go straight to a dinner date or back to work with no issues.
Can I get this if I have active acne?
Yes! The Glownar system is great for clearing out the congestion that leads to breakouts. However, if you have very inflamed cystic acne, we’ll adjust the suction to keep it comfortable.
How is this different from a regular facial?
A regular facial is manual; this is mechanical. The Glownar machine can penetrate deeper and clean out pores more effectively than hand-extractions alone.
