What to Expect During the Treatment

Your appointment begins with a skin consultation to assess your concerns and determine the best approach for your skin that day.

Double Cleanse & PrepWe start with a deep cleanse to remove impurities, followed by a gentle prep to get your skin ready for treatment.

Dermaplaning ExfoliationPerformed using a sterile surgical blade, dermaplaning manually removes dead skin buildup and vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving your skin ultra-smooth and radiant. This step also improves product penetration.

Steam & ExtractionsSteam helps open the pores for thorough (but gentle) extractions of blackheads, congestion, and buildup—especially around the nose, jawline, and chin.

LED Light TherapyUsing red or blue light depending on your skin’s needs, LED promotes healing, reduces redness, improves acne, and boosts collagen production.

Microcurrent Facial ToningThis gentle electrical stimulation targets the facial muscles to lift, firm, and tone. It’s like a workout for your face—leaving you sculpted and refreshed.

Custom Jelly Mask TherapyWe finish with a customized hydrojelly mask to deeply hydrate, calm, or clarify the skin—based on your concerns.

Finishing Serums & SPFWe lock in all the goodness with clinical-strength serums, moisturizers, and sun protection.

Introducing The Cold Peel: Your Ultimate Guide to Our Deepest Peel Yet

As we step into peel season, there’s no better time to introduce a new treatment at GLOW Beauty Bar: The Cold Peel. This innovative peel is designed to give you smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, making it the perfect addition to your skincare routine as the weather cools down.

What is The Cold Peel?

Unlike traditional chemical peels, this treatment delivers powerful results without the harsh chemical feel. The Cimel Activator is specially designed to address skin tone irregularities, reduce the signs of aging, and diminish acne scars, all while increasing skin radiance and smoothing texture. It’s suitable for all skin phototypes I-VI and is packed with potent ingredients, including:

·      Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract: A natural antioxidant that brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation.

·      Alpha-Arbutin: A powerful skin brightener that helps to fade dark spots and even out skin tone.

·      Kojic Acid: Known for its ability to inhibit melanin production, making it effective in lightening skin discoloration.

·      Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid that penetrates the skin to exfoliate and clear out clogged pores.

·      Retinol: A form of vitamin A that promotes cell turnover, smooths fine lines, and improves skin texture.

This peel is particularly well-suited for those who are comfortable with the peeling process, which can last up to a week. It's ideal for addressing concerns such as uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and signs of aging.

Pre-Peel Preparation

To maximize the safety and effectiveness of The Cold Peel, it’s crucial to prepare your skin in advance:

First Facial Treatment: If this is your first facial treatment, The Cold Peel may not be the best option. We aim to be progressive, not aggressive, to ensure a safe and effective experience.

Professional Home Care Regimen: You must be on a professional home care regimen that includes skin brighteners for at least two weeks before your peel. This helps to even out your skin tone and minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Avoid Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and other active ingredients a few days before your peel to reduce the risk of irritation.

Recent Sunburn or Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for 1 week prior to treatment.

Waxing: No waxing should be done 2 weeks prior to the treatment.

Skin Condition: The peel is not recommended for very dehydrated skin or if your lipid barrier is compromised.

Advanced Treatments: You must wait 4 weeks after receiving other advanced treatments before undergoing The Cold Peel.

Post-Peel Care: Ensuring Optimal Results

What to Expect

The Cimel Activator, the key component of The Cold Peel, often requires only one application to begin showing effects. During your Cold Peel appointment, our expert aestheticians will cleanse your skin and apply a thin layer of the Cimel Activator to the affected areas. The application is designed to provide minimal potency feel in the clinic compared to other peels, though results may vary depending on factors such as skin phototype, the intensity of lesion color, and the delicacy or resistance of the treated area.

On Day 2 following the application of the Cimel Activator, you can expect visible redness over all treated areas, which may last up to 2-3 days. The area will be photosensitive, and peeling will typically begin during days 2-7. It is crucial to follow the post-procedure protocol as recommended by your aesthetician to achieve optimal results. Expect your rejuvenated skin to appear visibly lighter, more radiant, and smoother within 28 days.

Cold Peel Aftercare

Avoid Water and Products for the First Few Hours: Follow the specific instructions provided by your aesthetician, which may include avoiding water or any skincare products for the first 8-12 hours post-peel.

Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe and protect your skin as it heals. Look for products free of fragrances and irritants.

Sun Protection: Your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage after the peel, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even if you’re indoors.

Skip the Gym: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, swimming, and intense exercise for 1 week to prevent irritatation.

No Picking or Peeling: As tempting as it may be, do not pick or peel the flaking skin. Let it shed naturally to avoid scarring and uneven results.

Gentle Cleansing: Stick to a mild cleanser and avoid any exfoliating scrubs or brushes until your skin has fully healed.

What NOT to Do After The Cold Peel

Proper post-peel care is essential to ensure the best results and avoid complications. Here’s what you should avoid:

- No Sauna for 1 week

- No Jacuzzi for 1-2 weeks

- No Swimming for 1-2 weeks

- No Water or Products on Face for the Recommended Number of Hours

- No Exfoliation, Acid, Waxing, Threading, or Acids on the Skin for 2 Weeks

- No Exercising, Alcohol, or Raising of Body Temperature for 24 Hours
