Great skin isn’t a luxury.
It’s a habit.
A doctor who couldn’t fix her own skin. A tiny studio in Bethesda. A short menu on purpose. And Members who’ve stayed for 10+ years. Here’s how the health club for your skin happened, in seven quick chapters.
01 · The problem
She had the medical degree.
She still couldn’t fix her own skin.
Even as a physician, Dr. Lamba wasn’t immune to the judgment and lost confidence that come with skin that needs help.
Dermatologists. Spas. Skincare counters. Countless products. Everyone had something to sell her. Nobody gave her a plan she could actually stick with.
If it was this hard for a doctor, it had to be harder for everyone else.
So she did something about it ↓
02 · The leap
2012
Bethesda, Maryland
Hospital by day.
Studio by night.
She opened the first GLO30 studio while still working full-time as an anesthesiologist. Days in the operating room. Evenings in the studio, caring for guests herself, one face at a time.
Every evening taught her the same lesson: one great treatment doesn’t change your skin. What you do every month does.
03 · The idea
What if skincare worked like a gym?
Show up every 30 days. Keep building.
That one question became GLO30, the health club for your skin. Fourteen-plus years later, the numbers speak for it.
Since 2012
14+ yrs
Physician-founded.
A medical director for every studio. Nurse-led. Esthetician-powered.
Members who stay
10+ yrs
That’s how long some Members have been with us.
People don’t stay a decade for a sales pitch. They stay because it works.
Five stars
4,000+
Reviews across 20+ studios.
Members call it their favorite day of the month.
So why do people stay that long? It’s what we left off the menu ↓
04 · Less, but better
We’re not a facial bar.We’re not a med spa.We’re a skincare ecosystem,with a short menu on purpose.
The typical med spa
A menu so long you need a consultation to read it.
More options. More upsells. More to sell you, and less to answer for when it doesn’t work.
GLO30
A few things that work, done every 30 days.
Physician-founded and backed by a medical director at every studio. Nurse-led and esthetician-powered. One plan, followed up month after month, so we’re accountable for your results.
That’s why every plan is tracked visit to visit, and adjusted as your skin, seasons and life change.
More doesn’t mean better. That’s why our Members stay 10+ years.
What she tells every guest
“Everything is right with you. We’ll help you see it.”

Meet GLOpaca.
Our little bundle of joy.
On a summer trip, Dr. Lamba visited an alpaca farm. Then she went back. And back again. She even tried alpaca yoga.
Alpacas always look like they’re smiling, and everyone who visited left smiling too. That was exactly the feeling she’d built GLO30 around. So she brought a little of that joy home.
Taking care of yourself should feel as good as the results look.
