SmoothGlo™

Many of our clients want to target multiple complexion concerns, such as rough texture, skin discoloration, and uneven tone. That’s why we love SmoothGlo, an innovative treatment that combines intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency microneedling. This single device addresses multiple concerns, giving our clients from St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Pinellas Park, North Palm Beach, 
and other Florida communities, smoother, more radiant skin.

Our medical director, plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Mirmanesh, is a laser expert who authored the initial treatment protocol for SmoothGlo. He has trained all of The Garden Medical Spa’s providers, who perform the procedure at our North Palm Beach and Pinellas Park locations.

How Does SmoothGlo Work?

SmoothGlo combines the powerful benefits of IPL photorejuvenation and RF microneedling in a single treatment session to improve:

  • Texture
  • Tone
  • Pigmentation
  • Laxity
  • Volume
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

IPL

During the first stage of your SmoothGlo procedure, IPL delivers light energy to the skin’s upper layer. This breaks down pigmented (discolored) skin cells, which the body eliminates through the skin’s surface. IPL targets blood vessels, sunspots, and other hyperpigmentation concerns.

RF Microneedling

The second stage of a SmoothGlo treatment is RF microneedling. Like traditional microneedling, RF microneedling uses tiny needles to pierce the skin, creating micro-wounds and triggering the skin to produce new collagen as part of its healing process. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency heat energy to the treatment, which causes the skin to contract and tighten for improved firmness and tone.

What Happens During a SmoothGlo Treatment?

After discussing your specific concerns and evaluating your skin’s condition and type, one of our aesthetic specialists begins the treatment by applying a cooling gel and fitting you with eye shields. This ensures your safety and comfort during the IPL stage of the procedure.

As the provider delivers the IPL energy to the treatment area, another member of the team cools the skin with chilled air. This cool air lets us treat skin discoloration more aggressively while ensuring you remain comfortable. The IPL device also includes sapphire crystal cooling technology to prevent burns.

Once we’ve completed the IPL treatment, we remove the gel and customize the RF microneedling by adjusting how deeply the needles penetrate. The desired depth depends on the severity of the skin’s laxity and how much downtime you can afford. After making multiple passes over the treatment area, we apply a cooling balm before you leave the med spa.

What Happens After a SmoothGlo Treatment?

You should expect your skin to feel warm for a few hours after the treatment, with redness lasting up to 48 hours. You might also experience some minor swelling. The micro-injuries created by microneedling result in small scabs that heal and shed naturally about a week after the treatment.

Your skin may feel dry for a few days after your appointment, and avoiding sun exposure for at least a week is essential. Use gentle, non-abrasive skin cleansers and moisturize often. We recommend waiting a week before applying makeup.

How Many SmoothGlo Treatments Are Needed?

Dr. Mirmanesh’s expertise in performing IPL procedures typically minimizes the number of treatment sessions you’ll need compared to other practices. We usually recommend 2 or 3 treatment sessions, compared to the 3 to 5 appointments other providers require.
