SmoothGlo by Lumenis at Dermacenter Medical Spa
Reveal your most radiant skin with SmoothGlo, the dual-action treatment in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Turn Back the Clock with SmoothGlo
A revolutionary two-step treatment that rejuvenates, lifts, and revitalizes the skin from the inside out. Available exclusively at Dermacenter Medical Spa in Rittenhouse, SmoothGlo combines the proven power of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and VoluDerm Radiofrequency Microneedling using the advanced Lumenis Stellar M22 platform.
By sequentially using Stellar IPL to target pigmentation and vascular lesions, followed by VoluDerm RF microneedling to trigger deep collagen remodeling and volumizing, SmoothGlo delivers comprehensive skin rejuvenation in one synergistic session. The result? A smoother, firmer, clearer, and more youthful-looking complexion with minimal downtime.

Patient Requirements: Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To prepare for your SmoothGlo treatment, please follow the guidelines below to ensure safety and optimal results:
Limit Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sun and tanning beds for 2 to 4 weeks before your appointment. This helps protect your skin and ensures the safest, most effective results.
Review Medications
Stop antibiotics or photosensitizing medications at least 7 days before your session, with your physician’s approval. This reduces the risk of adverse skin reactions.
Pause Active Skincare
Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), and other active ingredients 3 to 5 days prior. These products can increase sensitivity and interfere with treatment.
Arrive with Bare Skin
On the day of your treatment, do not apply makeup, lotions, or oils to the area being treated. Clean skin allows for optimal energy delivery and better results.
Remove Surface Hair
If the treatment area has visible hair—such as the jawline, arms, or legs—please shave beforehand. This ensures smooth contact and consistent energy flow.
Reschedule if Skin Is Irritated
If you have an active cold sore, rash, or skin infection, please postpone your appointment. Treating compromised skin can lead to complications.
Share Recent Procedures
Let us know if you’ve had any recent skin treatments, injectables, or chemical peels. This helps us customize your care and avoid overlapping protocols.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water the day before and after your treatment. Hydrated skin heals faster and responds better to rejuvenation.
What is the SmoothGlo treatment?
SmoothGlo is an advanced, non-surgical skin rejuvenation protocol that combines Lumenis Stellar IPL with VoluDerm RF microneedling in one session. The IPL step targets sun damage, redness, and pigmentation, while the RF microneedling stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production to tighten and volumize the skin.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but a series of 3 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is typically recommended for best results.
Is there downtime after the procedure?
There is minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, warmth, or swelling for 1–3 days post-treatment. Makeup can typically be worn the next day, and most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Who is a candidate for SmoothGlo?
SmoothGlo is ideal for patients with visible signs of aging, pigmentation, uneven texture, or loss of firmness. It is suitable for most skin types, although darker skin tones will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure safety with IPL.
Does the treatment hurt?
Patients describe SmoothGlo as comfortable to mildly prickly. A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment, and cooling technologies help minimize discomfort during both steps.
Can SmoothGlo be combined with other treatments?
Yes! SmoothGlo pairs beautifully with neurotoxin (Botox), dermal fillers, PRP, or skincare regimens to enhance and maintain results. Your provider will customize a treatment plan for your skin goals.
