Episode FAQ
What is the Glo2Facial treatment featured on The Dr. Randi Show?
On this episode of The Dr. Randi Show, host Dr. Randi Boyette speaks with dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. James Marotta about the Glo2Facial, a technology-driven treatment he uses in his Long Island practice and at Marotta MedSpa. Dr. Marotta describes the Glo2Facial as a customizable facial with little to no downtime that goes beyond a traditional facial by combining several steps in one session, including optional radiofrequency, a patented oxygenation and exfoliation step, serum infusion, and a finishing massage. He shares that he uses it both on its own and alongside other treatments and surgical care in his own patient experience.
How is the Glo2Facial different from a traditional facial?
In his conversation on The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta explains that the Glo2Facial goes well beyond a relaxing spa facial because of the technology behind it. He light-heartedly calls it a facial on steroids, or a supercharged facial, and says it can deliver visible results without the downtime of more aggressive options. In his experience, this makes it a helpful bridge treatment for people who want noticeable rejuvenation but are not ready for, or do not have time to recover from, treatments like lasers or microneedling. He notes that he almost feels it is a disservice to call it a facial at all, since he considers it a more sophisticated and therapeutic treatment.
What are the steps involved in a Glo2Facial treatment?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta walks through the phases of the Glo2Facial as he performs it. The first phase is optional radiofrequency, which he describes as gently heating the skin to encourage collagen and can feel like a warm stone massage, chosen by patients who want more firming and an immediate lift. Next is a patented oxygenation and exfoliation phase that lightly stimulates the top layers of skin while drawing oxygen into the tissue. The third phase applies a topical serum, followed by an ultrasound step that he says helps the serum absorb more deeply. The treatment finishes with a relaxing, stimulating massage. He emphasizes that each phase is designed to feel comfortable and pleasant.
What skin concerns can the Glo2Facial help address, and who tends to be a good candidate?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta shares that, in his experience, nearly anyone can be a candidate for the Glo2Facial because of how customizable it is. He says he uses it for younger patients focused on prejuvenation, or getting ahead of visible aging, as well as for more mature patients looking to firm and brighten the skin or soften fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. He also describes using it for concerns like acne, oily skin, enlarged pores, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation. He frames these as the concerns he personally sees the treatment used for, and recommends a consultation to match the treatment to each person’s skin.
How is a Glo2Facial customized for different skin types and goals?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta explains that the Glo2Facial is personalized using different treatment pods that correspond to a patient’s primary concern. He lists options such as hydrate, protect, firm, energize, clarify, refine, brighten, and smooth, which increase in intensity and bioactivity. He notes that more corrective options can include active ingredients like AHA, BHA, and kojic acid, while the baseline hydrate option uses hyaluronic acid for very dry skin. In his practice, he says the team asks each patient about their main goal and then selects the customization that fits.
How many Glo2Facial sessions are recommended to see results?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta says that, like most skincare, the Glo2Facial tends to work best as a series rather than a one-time treatment. He notes that a single session can give an immediate glow that is nice before an event, but for longer-lasting benefit he suggests a starting series of three to six treatments, followed by a maintenance schedule such as one treatment a month. He describes creating a customized, written treatment plan for each patient at Marotta MedSpa and following up over time to help them stay on track.
Can the Glo2Facial be combined with injectables, lasers, or microneedling?
In his interview on The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta describes the Glo2Facial as pairing well with other treatments, an approach sometimes called treatment stacking. He says it can be scheduled alongside treatments like IPL, microneedling, or lasers, and that he sometimes alternates it with radiofrequency microneedling month to month for firming without major downtime. For injectables such as neuromodulators and fillers, he recommends doing the Glo2Facial first and injecting afterward, since the massage involved could otherwise move freshly placed product. He explains that this lets a patient enjoy an immediate glow while a neuromodulator takes a few days to take full effect.
How is the Glo2Facial used before and after facial surgery?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta shares that he incorporates the Glo2Facial into surgical recovery programs at his practice. He describes using it about a week before surgery to prep the skin, then again a few weeks afterward once the skin has begun to heal, often pairing the surgery itself with a laser treatment for added collagen support. He says the lymphatic drainage portion of the Glo2Facial is especially helpful after surgery because it can help move fluid and ease swelling and tissue congestion, which in his experience helps his patients recover more comfortably.
How should you prepare for a Glo2Facial, and when is the best time to book one before an event?
On The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta says preparing for a Glo2Facial is fairly simple: come in hydrated, keep up your regular skincare routine, and make sure there is nothing acute going on with the skin, such as an active infection. For a special occasion, he shares that the glow is immediate, so timing is flexible. As an example, for a Saturday night event he suggests a Saturday morning appointment, though he adds that having it a day or two before can still leave the skin looking even-toned and refreshed. He frames this as a nice pre-event option based on what he sees in his own patients.
What does the guest want people to know before trying a Glo2Facial?
Wrapping up on The Dr. Randi Show, Dr. Marotta encourages anyone curious about the Glo2Facial to view it as a pleasant, therapeutic experience rather than something to fear, while remembering that it is still a medical treatment. He recommends choosing a reputable provider who can review your history, skin conditions, and allergies, and who is well-versed in the Glo2Facial. He also places the treatment within the growing longevity conversation in aesthetics, noting that it includes ingredients like exosomes and copper peptides, which he sees as part of where skin health and rejuvenation are headed.
