About Glowdega
GLOWDEGA® is Oakland's premier advanced acne skincare and sugaring studio, located at 2408 Telegraph Avenue in the heart of the city. Owned and operated by licensed estheticians Hadiyah and Sabrina, who bring nearly a decade of combined experience to every treatment, the studio has established itself as a trusted destination for clients dealing with persistent acne, hyperpigmentation, ingrown hairs, and scarring. GLOWDEGA describes itself as 'an inclusive skin studio open to all humans with skin,' and its reputation for personalized, results-driven care has put it at near-waitlist status. Red light therapy is woven into GLOWDEGA's signature treatment offerings. The GLOW (60-minute, $275) and GLORY (90-minute, $375) facials can be customized to include 15–20 minute red light sessions using the LightStim Elipsa full-face panel — an FDA-cleared device that emits Blue, Amber, Light Red, Dark Red, and Infrared wavelengths via 868 LEDs. This panel is particularly effective as a finishing treatment after Hydrafacial or dermaplaning, amplifying collagen production and accelerating skin recovery. The studio also offers a focused 30-minute GLINT facial at $200 for targeted results. Clients rate GLOWDEGA 4.7 stars and praise Hadiyah's deep knowledge of skin health and her ability to craft individualized routines without unnecessary upselling. Reviews mention 'significant reduction in acne scars,' 'hydrated and balanced skin,' and detailed aftercare guidance that helps clients maintain results between appointments. Many clients say they deeply trust their esthetician's judgment and have graduated to memberships for continued care. With its warm, inviting atmosphere, calming music, and expert-driven skincare methodology, GLOWDEGA is ideal for anyone in the East Bay navigating chronic acne, uneven skin tone, or post-treatment recovery. Its integration of red light therapy as a clinical add-on — rather than a standalone gimmick — reflects the studio's serious approach to skin health.
