How long does a glow peel last ?

glow peel 11 Nov 2024

A glowing, radiant face evokes positivity everywhere—whether at work, at a function, or at home. Moreover, glowing skin is often a sign of good health. It’s no surprise that the non-invasive, quick, office-friendly procedure known as the glow peel is gaining popularity. Celebrities and everyday people alike opt for this revitalizing treatment to reduce scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, rejuvenating their skin.

It’s natural to wonder how long the results will last and whether there are ways to maintain them longer with a proper skincare routine. After all, it’s about the health of the most important "clothing" on your body—your skin.

What is a glow peel?

Everyone has heard of chemical peels, which are used to treat conditions like mild acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. These peels often contain ingredients like glycolic acid, ferulic acid, and TCA. They work by removing the top, dead layer of skin, revealing fresher skin underneath. They also boost collagen production, which is essential for skin structure, and increase cell turnover, replacing old cells with fresh ones.

However, chemical peels may not be suitable for all skin types. Glow peels are a milder version of chemical peels, designed to avoid adverse reactions. The goal is to reduce pigmentation, improve skin dullness, and rejuvenate the skin.

What are the immediate benefits of glow peels?

The immediate effects of a glow peel include:

1. Brighter skin – By removing blemishes and rough patches.

2. More even skin texture – Glow peels exfoliate and remove dead skin cells.

3. Improved skin tone – Reduces pigmentation caused by sun damage and dark spots from aging or skin laxity.

4. Refreshed and radiant look – By making the skin even and smoother, the reflection of light is enhanced.

5. Smoother skin – Glow peels can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Office-time or lunchtime procedure – This is a quick, non-invasive treatment that requires no downtime. The temporary redness is minimal and can easily be covered with a skin-toned moisturizer and sunscreen.

How long does the effect of a glow peel last?

Since glow peels are milder, the results are temporary. To achieve long-lasting effects, it’s ideal to undergo three treatments at one-month intervals. 

The immediate effects last about a month, including refreshed and glowing skin. In the following weeks, the skin responds by producing more collagen, leading to improved texture, thickness, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and enhanced pigmentation. If a second treatment is done after a month, the results are further enhanced and last longer. The third treatment consolidates these results.

What care should be taken to maintain the results?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, a high-protein, low-carb diet—can help reduce ongoing damage to your skin. Hydration is crucial, and eating colorful vegetables can support skin health by aiding in detoxification.

A good skincare routine is essential, including a quality moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. At night, an exfoliating agent like retinol, or a vitamin C serum to repair and boost skin health, should be used alongside a moisturizer. Additionally, depending on your skin condition, our plastic surgeon may prescribe specific serums, collagen creams, or peptides. Sometimes, creams containing glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid, which both exfoliate and hydrate, may be recommended.

Your compliance with our plastic surgeon’s instructions is key to achieving the best results.

Are there any side effects?

Since glow peels are less aggressive, side effects are minimal. However, in rare cases, they can cause burns. At LaserCosmesis, we use only branded peels to minimize the risk of adverse effects like burns or deeper penetration of the peel. We also use these peels sparingly around the eyes to avoid complications, as the skin in that area is more delicate. Occasionally, the surrounding skin may appear slightly darker after treatment, but this usually improves with subsequent sessions.
