Glow Peel
A “Glow Peel” is a medium depth medical grade peel, also known as a chemical peel or skin peel. This cosmetic procedure is used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. During a glow peel, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off, revealing smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin underneath. Glow peels can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone, while also promoting collagen production for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
At La Unique Laser Centre we combine the Glow Peel treatment with microdermabrasion to brighten, smooth and clear the skin. This signature treatment is best for those looking to get the glow back to their skin and is the best maintenance facial for those in their 30’s and 40’s.

Benefits of a Glow Peel

Exfoliation
Removes dead skin cells from the surface, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.

The Electrolysis Procedure
Consultation: The process typically begins with a consultation with a trained and licensed medical aesthetician. During this consultation, the aesthetician will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Cleanse & Prepare: We begin the treatment by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area removing impurities and excess oil, leaving it smooth and soft. This allows us to begin with the freshest palate.
Application of Chemical Solution: A chemical solution containing active ingredients is applied to the skin. This solution works to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation and cell turnover.
Duration: The solution is left on the skin for a specific period of time, which can vary depending on the type of peel and the individual’s skin condition.
Neutralization: For some peels, especially those with stronger acids, the solution may be neutralized or removed with a neutralizing agent to stop the exfoliation process.
Post-Treatment Care: After the peel is completed, the skin may appear red or slightly irritated, similar to a sunburn. Skincare professionals typically provide post-treatment instructions, which may include applying soothing creams or serums, avoiding direct sunlight, and using gentle skincare products for a few days following the treatment.
Over the following days and weeks, the outer layer of the skin gradually peels away, revealing smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin underneath. Multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal results, and the frequency of treatments can vary depending on the individual’s skin type and concerns. It’s essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine the most suitable peel for your skin and ensure proper application and aftercare.
FAQs
A glow peel, also known as a chemical peel or skin peel, is a cosmetic procedure designed to exfoliate the skin and improve its texture and appearance. Unlike other facial treatments, glow peels use chemical solutions to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter skin.
Generally, individuals with concerns such as dull skin, uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation can benefit from a glow peel. However, it’s essential to consult with a skincare professional to determine if a glow peel is suitable for your skin type and condition.
While glow peels can be beneficial for most skin types, individuals with sensitive skin or certain skin conditions may not be suitable candidates for certain types of peels. It’s crucial to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified skincare professional to assess your skin’s condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
During a glow peel treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which may cause a tingling or warming sensation. The solution is left on the skin for a specific period before being neutralized or removed. After the treatment, the skin may appear red or slightly irritated, similar to a sunburn, and may peel in the following days.
The duration of a glow peel treatment can vary depending on the type of peel and the individual’s skin condition. Typically, the treatment itself takes around 30 to 45 minutes, but additional time may be needed for pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment care instructions.
The number of glow peel treatments needed to achieve desired results can vary depending on factors such as the severity of skin concerns and the type of peel used. While some individuals may see improvement after a single treatment, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
Common side effects of glow peels may include temporary redness, irritation, dryness, flakiness, or mild swelling. In rare cases, more severe side effects such as blistering, infection, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur. It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions carefully and contact your skincare professional if you experience any concerns.
The downtime associated with a glow peel can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the peel. While some individuals may experience minimal downtime with mild redness or flaking, others may require several days of recovery as the skin undergoes exfoliation and renewal. It’s essential to plan accordingly and avoid direct sunlight and harsh skincare products during the recovery period.
