Glo Med Spa Austin

I went to Glo Med Spa yesterday for an IPL treatment, and had a great experience. The front office staff is very helpful, nice, and efficient. Hannah did my procedure and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. I have had two other IPL procedures done at another place. Hannah asked very specific questions to make sure she got the correct dose for my skin. I left feeling like I had gotten some good results and can't wait to see how everything turns out!

I chose this as i had good experience in sculpting. This was my third time going for the same service (facials). First time experience was best, second time was not so good but this time was worst. I had gone for AQUAFIRMEXS® Rejuvenation Facial which they told over the phone as 45 mins, I went at 2:15 pm as per my scheduled appointment and I was done by 2:38 pm. My face looked dull and there was no shine at all. Very disappointing for the price ($179) i paid.

I’ve had great results with IPL in the past - when I did treatments in Los Angeles, my sun spots darkened, scabbed, and flaked off. Unfortunately, my experience here with Fairy was very different. There was no proper assessment of my skin to determine the appropriate wavelength or energy settings; I was simply told a “medium” setting would be used for a first session for safety. The treatment itself felt rushed, and during the session I noticed that some areas were being missed. Although I shared my past results, I was told by Fairy that IPL can’t remove dark spots or freckles, which contradicts both my experience and widely available information about the treatment. After the session, I didn’t experience any of the typical post-treatment reactions, such as redness, and I saw no results in the weeks that followed. Overall, this felt like a combination of outdated equipment and limited experience with delivering effective IPL results. I wouldn’t recommend this spa for IPL.

I am very disappointed with my experience. I found a Groupon promotion for an IPL photo facial and mentioned it when I called to book the appointment. I was told it would be accepted, and I showed it again before paying. Based on that understanding, I proceeded with the treatment as a gift for my mother and mother-in-law. Before the procedure, we were told to expect visible results, including peeling or darkened spots flaking off “like coffee grounds.” Unfortunately, there was no peeling and no noticeable improvement at all. In addition, we were required to pay for a mandatory FaceTime consultation ($30 per person) and extra for numbing cream, which significantly increased the total cost beyond what we expected from the promotion. The facility was clean and the staff were polite, but the results did not match what was described to us. We left feeling disappointed and misled.

Glo med spa has the best prices and friendliest staff. I’ve been on their membership for over a year and really see a difference in my skin from getting Microneedling regularly. I’ve also gotten IPL a few times. Appointments are so quick and effective which is much appreciated!
