Recently, I had the opportunity to undergo the new combination treatment, Microneedling & Peel | Glow. I would like to share my experience and results of this wonderful treatment. In this treatment, microneedling is first used to a depth of up to 0.5 mm. Then, the SkinCeutics gel peel is applied. It consists of 20% glycolic acid and 10% lactic acid.
· Slightly dull skin;
· PIH is present (pigment spots that occur after pimples and inflammations). Especially on the jawline and cheeks and double chin and neck;
· Pore structure is fairly coarse;
· Minor acne outbreaks, especially in the area of the double chin, jawline and chin;
· Mild melasma under the eyes and cheekbone.
Microneedling is always a bit sensitive, but since this treatment works at a maximum depth of 0.5, it's not that bad. The treatment is also carried out very quickly, so the sensitive sensation is over in no time. Only when “needling” do you feel a kind of mini sandpaper that is present, feels sharp, and “glides” over the skin. The peeling that is applied afterwards provides a stinging sensation for about 3 minutes. Then you feel a mild (fine) warmth in the skin. This must not be refrigerated.
The skin feels warm and a little tight, and the skin also feels slightly fuller and firmer. A bit of a plumping effect. The skin is a bit redder and slightly warmer than normal and sensitive.
The skin feels a bit tight and tight and there is mild redness. Furthermore, it is slightly sensitive when touched. This sensation lasts for approximately 2 days.
On the third and fourth days, the redness has almost disappeared. You still see a very mild red glow. It looks like my skin has a very healthy color. The skin is no longer sensitive and tight. I already notice that there is less PIH, that I have fewer acne (outbreaks) and, in addition, my pigment is slowly starting to disappear. My skin also feels smoother and healthier.
My skin is very calm. I have fewer acne outbreaks, less PIH and melasma is also less. The pore structure is now also less rough. All in all, I am very pleased with the new treatment and I really notice a nice difference in: acne, PIH, melasma and pore structure. I am also slowly noticing that the volume and firmness are increasing somewhat.
