Glov vs Seranova: Micro Infusion Systems Compared (2026)

Glov and Seranova both sell an at-home micro infusion stamp, but Seranova gives the more complete and predictable package. It prints one fresh head and one vial for every session, offers a consistent 2-week routine and has a dedicated formula for melanin-rich skin^8,12. Glov is cheaper to start, at $69 against $99, but its headline price is per serum dose and the kit page does not print how many single-use heads are included^1,2.

Quick answer

• Our overall pick: Seranova. Its price reflects a complete session: one head, one vial and no head-count ambiguity, backed by a 90-day first-order guarantee^8,11.
• Pick Glov if the lowest entry price ($69) and a 30-day used-product return matter more than a fully stated head count^2,3.
• Check first: Glov does not print how many heads come in each kit¹. Seranova takes standard returns only if the kit is sealed and unused¹⁰.

Seranova: prices and plans⁹, box and schedule⁸, returns¹⁰, guarantee and cancelling¹¹, Trustpilot¹³. FDA:¹⁴.

How we compared Same checks for both brands: price and subscription price at every kit size, cost per session from each brand's own count, kit contents, serums, schedule, returns, guarantee, cancellation route, FDA database status and published ratings. Facts checked on 24 Oct 2026. Nobody at DermaRatings has used either kit.

How much does each one cost?

Glov sells 1 system with 3 serums for $69, 2 systems with 6 serums for $99, and 4 systems with 12 serums for $149². A subscription takes 20% off, with delivery every 1, 2 or 3 months². The crossed-out prices on the page ($230, $330 and $497) are Glov's own².

Seranova's kit is $99 for 1 month (2 sessions), $118 for 2 months (4 sessions) and $159 for 3 months (6 sessions)⁹. On subscription the same sizes cost $78, $98 and $126⁹. Seranova ships free on a first order⁸.

Glov's how-to says to use "one ampule of serum" per session, so its figures are per serum dose¹. The kit page does not say how many heads are in the box. Its FAQ says each head is single-use and extra heads are "available to purchase on our website separately"¹. Spare heads cost $24 for 2, $39 for 4, $59 for 8 or $89 for 12⁵. If you have to buy heads, a Glov session costs more than the serum figure. Confirm the head count at checkout.

Glov also sells a "12-in-1" kit for $199 with 4 systems, 12 serums and 8 heads⁶. Adding 4 heads for one per session gives ($199 + $39) / 12 = $19.83 a treatment^5,6.

Over 12 sessions at one every 2 weeks, two Seranova 3-month kits cost $159 × 2 = $318 one-time, or $126 × 2 = $252 on subscription⁹.

What's in the box and how is it used?

Glov. The kit page lists systems and serums, not heads¹. You fill the chamber with one ampoule, then stamp outward from the centre with 50% overlap and 2 to 3 passes¹. Glov says you can mix two serums¹. It says the device bottle can be used "indefinitely", with a new head each session¹. Glov recommends a session "every 1-2 weeks"¹.

Seranova. Each kit lists one head and one serum vial per session: "6 applicator heads and 6 serum vials, providing 6 applications" in the 3-month size⁸. You fill the device, turn it upside down for 1 to 2 minutes, then press with 50% overlap for 2 to 3 passes⁸. A session takes about 10 minutes⁸. Seranova recommends a session every 2 weeks and says to keep about 3 cm (1.5 inches) from the eyes⁸.

Glov says to avoid sun and makeup for 24 hours in one part of its page, and asks for sun protection for 12 hours in another¹. See how often to use micro infusion for more on schedules.

What's in the serums?

Glov's serum lists water, sodium hyaluronate, sodium chloride, hydrolyzed collagen, oligopeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, carnosine and three other ingredients¹.

Seranova's standard serum starts with water (aqua), glycerin and niacinamide, and includes palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7⁸. Seranova also sells a Pigmentation formula for melanin-rich skin with tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, bakuchiol and niacinamide¹².

Subscription, returns and support

Glov. Devices, needle heads, serums and kits get 30 days from delivery, "even if you've used it"³. You need an RMA number and the original packaging, and you pay return shipping³. The site banner says "60-Day Money-Back Guarantee", but the policy gives 60 days only to supplements and Hair Renewal shampoos and conditioners, and 120 days to the Hair Regrowth System³. You can skip, change or cancel a subscription from your account, the link in subscription emails or by email, before the next billing date⁴.

Seranova. Standard returns need a sealed, unused kit within 30 days of delivery, and original shipping is not refunded¹⁰. If you used the kit, the separate 90-Day Results Guarantee may apply. It covers your first Seranova order only, with one claim per customer¹¹. The product page marks the guarantee "Less shipping & handeling"⁸. To change or cancel a subscription, email or call support, or use the subscription portal¹¹.

What do buyers say?

Glov. Its kit page shows two review figures, "4,333 Reviews" and "23.750+ reviews", and does not explain the gap¹. Trustpilot showed 4.4 out of 5 from 6,633 reviews (checked 24 Oct 2026)⁷. We could not read individual Trustpilot reviews, so we report no Glov themes.

Seranova. Its page shows 4.8 from 9,208 reviews⁸. Trustpilot showed 4.4 out of 5 from 4,731 reviews (checked 24 Oct 2026)¹³. Most of the 40 product-page reviews we read describe smoother skin or softer lines after 2 to 9 months of use. Only two raised a drawback: one called the vials "messy and difficult to open", and one found a session painful⁸. The brand selects the reviews shown on its own page.

Safety and regulatory status

We found no FDA 510(k) record for either kit when we searched openFDA on 24 Oct 2026¹⁴. A name search only finds records filed under that name.

Glov's kit page says 0.5 mm, but the text on its needle head listing describes "0.25mm needles"^1,5. Glov says its needles reach "the deep dermal layer", with no study on the page¹. It says to consult a medical professional first if you have metal allergies or medical concerns¹.

Seranova cites "Study 26/33/AO/V1, 30 subjects" and "Study ST-ET-2025-00029, 30 subjects", with no methods, length or control group published⁸. It does not recommend its system for rosacea, eczema or active acne⁸. Ask a dermatologist first if you have a skin condition.

Verdict

Our overall pick is Seranova. Glov posts the lower price per serum dose, but that number is harder to compare when the kit does not state how many single-use heads it contains and separate heads may add to the total^1,5. Seranova's price is more transparent: each session has its own head and vial, the schedule is fixed at every 2 weeks, and the first order has a 90-day results guarantee^8,11. It also offers a thoughtful second formula for melanin-rich skin¹².

Choose Glov if the lowest entry price and a 30-day used-product return are your priorities. Choose Seranova if you want the better-organized system with clearer kit contents and fewer questions before the first treatment. For most buyers, that completeness makes Seranova worth the higher upfront price.
