Not ready for injectables yet? Start with the Glo2Facial with RF Pro

Molly is particular about what makes it onto Astra’s service list. “I would not add just any facial to my service list,” she says. “For me, a treatment has to have a purpose beyond simply adding another option to the menu.” That’s the Glo2Facial with RF Pro, and it’s become one of Molly’s recommendations for patients curious about Astra but not quite ready for a needle.

Key takeaways

  • The Glo2Facial with RF Pro combines radiofrequency, Oxfoliation, ultrasound, and massage in one minimal-downtime appointment.
  • Oxfoliation is designed to oxygenate the skin from within while exfoliating the surface. RF Pro supports collagen production over time.
  • There’s no intentional peeling, although temporary redness or sensitivity can occur.
  • It can be a single treatment or part of a series, depending on your goals.

What does the Glo2Facial with RF Pro do?

The treatment combines multiple technologies in one minimal-downtime appointment: radiofrequency, Oxfoliation, ultrasound, and massage. Unlike treatments that apply concentrated oxygen directly to the skin, Glo2’s Oxfoliation technology is designed to oxygenate the skin from within while exfoliating the surface. Ultrasound supports the delivery of beneficial ingredients, while the massage step helps leave the complexion looking refreshed and less puffy. RF Pro works more deeply, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to support collagen production and improve the appearance of firmness, fine lines, and overall skin quality over time.

Why did Molly add this facial?

“What I like about Glo2 RF Pro is that it isn’t simply about an immediate glow. It combines oxygenation from within with exfoliation, ultrasound, massage, and radiofrequency for a treatment that supports both immediate skin quality and longer-term collagen production,” Molly explains. “I chose this facial because it aligns with how I approach aesthetics. Long term skin health. Real collagen support. Treatments that make sense.”

Is there any downtime?

There’s no intentional peeling and little to no downtime for most patients, although temporary redness or sensitivity can occur. Patients may notice smoother, brighter, more hydrated-looking skin after treatment, while changes related to collagen remodeling develop more gradually. Depending on the patient’s goals, the Glo2Facial can be used as a single treatment or incorporated into a series.

One session or a series?

“For someone looking for a brighter, refreshed appearance before an event or simply wanting a skin-maintenance treatment, a single session can make sense,” Molly says. “When we’re using RF Pro as part of a longer-term plan focused on skin quality and collagen support, I may recommend a series instead. I don’t think everyone needs to be put into the same package or schedule. Frequency should depend on the patient’s skin, goals, and what else we’re doing in their treatment plan.”

Who is it for?

“I see two types of patients gravitate toward this treatment,” Molly says. “The first is someone who is curious about aesthetic treatments but isn’t ready for injectables, microneedling, or downtime. The second is an existing patient who wants something focused on skin quality between more intensive treatments or before an event. I like Glo2 RF Pro because it fills that space without feeling like I’ve added a facial simply for the sake of having one.”

If you’ve been curious about Astra but aren’t ready for injectables yet, the Glo2Facial can be an approachable place to start, particularly for someone who wants to invest in skin quality without needles or significant downtime.
