The Arbour Longevity Glow Protocol: 3 Phases
Every Arbour Longevity Glow treatment follows the same three-phase protocol, customized for your skin concern at each step.
Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion
Precision diamond-tip abrasion removes dead skin cells, clears congestion, and resurfaces the outer skin layer, revealing the fresher, more luminous skin beneath. Depth and intensity calibrated to your skin type and protocol.
Hydrodermabrasion · Serum Infusion
Water-based hydrodermabrasion delivers protocol-specific active serums deep into the freshly prepared skin surface. Simultaneously cleanses pores and infuses targeted ingredients, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, or treatment-specific actives, where they can actually penetrate.
Blue & Amber LED · Included · Red LED Upgrade Available
Blue and amber LED wavelengths are included as the standard protocol finish, blue targets acne-causing bacteria, amber calms inflammation and supports healing. Red and near-infrared LED, which drive deeper collagen stimulation and cellular repair, are available as a premium upgrade to any session.
Most facials address the skin's surface. The Arbour Longevity Glow protocol is designed around a physiological sequence, where each phase amplifies the effectiveness of the next. Diamond-tip dermabrasion does not just exfoliate; it prepares the skin to receive what follows. Hydrodermabrasion does not just hydrate; it delivers targeted actives into skin that has never been more receptive.
The three-phase sequence is what separates a genuine skin protocol from a luxury facial. By the time LED therapy activates collagen and calms inflammation in phase three, the skin has been comprehensively prepared, cleared, and infused. The result is visible, not just that evening, but cumulatively across every session.
At Arbour Longevity, every Glow protocol is performed with the clinical precision and skin knowledge that a longevity medicine environment demands. Your skin is treated as the organ it is, not the canvas it appears to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Arbour Longevity Glow is a proprietary three-phase facial protocol combining diamond-tip microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion serum infusion, and LED light therapy. Phase one exfoliates and resurfaces. Phase two delivers customized active serums deep into freshly prepared skin. Phase three uses protocol-specific LED wavelengths to stimulate collagen, target bacteria, or reduce inflammation. Seven skin-specific protocols ensure every treatment is tailored to your exact concern.
Microdermabrasion uses diamond-tip abrasion to physically exfoliate the outer skin layer, removing dead cells and stimulating cellular turnover. Hydrodermabrasion combines water-based serum infusion with gentle cleansing action, simultaneously clearing the skin and delivering active ingredients. The Arbour Longevity Glow uses both in sequence: diamond-tip dermabrasion first prepares the skin, then hydrodermabrasion infuses targeted serums into skin that has never been more receptive to them.
For maintenance and general skin health, monthly sessions are ideal. For specific concerns, acne, hyperpigmentation, or anti-aging, an initial series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart produces the most significant cumulative results. The Express Glow is designed specifically for maintenance between full protocol sessions.

"I've had facials everywhere. The Arbour Longevity Glow is the first one where I actually understood what was being done to my skin, and the results are cumulative in a way I've never experienced. Three sessions in, it's a completely different complexion."
"I was skeptical about the acne protocol, I'd tried everything. Four sessions of the Clear Skin Protocol combined with the functional medicine workup at Arbour Longevity and my skin is the clearest it's been in a decade. The root cause approach made all the difference."
"As someone with rosacea I've been turned away from most facials. The Calm & Restore protocol is the first treatment that actually improved my skin rather than inflaming it. Genuinely remarkable. I come monthly now."
