---

The Get Glowing Micro-Peel is a treatment in which a cream is applied to your skin to encourage the exfoliation of dead skin cells and debris while stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process.

Treats skin conditions:

• Active acne
• Acne scarring
• Rosacea
• Pigmentation
• Psoriasis
• Lines & wrinkles
• Improvement of under eye dark circles
• Reduce skin thickening & enlarged pores
• Anti-microbial & anti-inflammatory
• Soften thickened skin
• Reduce itching & irritation

Results:

With each additional Micro-Peel procedure, you will notice incremental improvements in the overall appearance of the skin. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The actives of this peel are: Resorcinol, Kojik Acid and Salicylic Acid.

• Resorcinol works by breaking down rough, scaly or hardened skin and is used to treat acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhoea, photo aging, solar keratoses, epidermal atrophy and improves skin tone and unevenness.
• Kojik Acid works on melanocytes interfering with the production of melanin. It has excellent skin-lightening abilities and is classified as an antioxidant.
• Salicylic Acid is used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, oily skin, blackheads and whiteheads. It directly dissolves the keratin plugs to regulate the skins cells acting as an exfoliant. Salicylic acid improves collagen production and thickness of the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

• Herpes simplex/cold sores/ fever blisters or a history thereof unless taking an antiviral medication.
• Severe cold or flu symptoms
• Allergy to Resorcinol or Salicylic Acid (Aspirin)
• Open wounds or lesions
• Pregnant or nursing women
• Accutane for the past 6-12 months
• Sunburn, allergy, use of tanning bed
• Cancer or patients using chemotherapy drugs, patients undergoing radiation and patients with an autoimmune disease.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO YOU NEED?

 For maximum results, we recommend a series of 6 x Get Glowing Peels once a month.

DOWNTIME?

None, however, you may or may not experience a light shedding/flaking of the skin from day 3 to day 7 after the peel (see pics below), depending on the condition of your skin prior to the peel or if you are new to skin peels.

Note: You do not always have to actually shed or peel after the Get Glowing Peel to see the benefits. The visible peeling is just a side effect. The actual "peeling" is happening at the cellular level.

• Do no wet or sweat the skin for 12 hours. 
• After 12 hours you can wash your face and wear make-up as normal. 
• It is recommended to use gentle skin care for 7 days after the Get Glowing peel and avoid any AHA products. This is to allow the skin renewal process happen naturally. Your therapist will advise after your treatment.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's very important to wear sunscreen every day after the Peel, as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun. Be certain you have adequate sunscreen protection against UVA and UVB rays. 

We all should be wearing sunscreen all year round including cloudy days and during the winter months.

Very important to note:

Results may vary from person to person. Aftercare with tyrosinase inhibitors & SPF 50+ compliance is of the utmost importance & along with patience & time. Then your results are very likely to improve your skin.
 

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
