| - Disclaimer: I did receive a complimentary peel treatment session from Q Esthetics, but all of my opinions are strictly my own.
I came in for a session of the AlumierMD Glow Peel. I was super excited as the treatment claims to target acne spots, calm irritation and redness, and leave the skin looking glowy and radiant. Upon arrival, I was immediately put at ease by my friendly esthetician Genevieve, who gave me some forms to sign before we got started.
During the treatment, Genevieve would brief me on every step so that I was well-informed of what she was doing to my skin. She was also extremely helpful in answering my questions, and even helped me diagnose the reason for my forehead acne! During the actual portion of the chemical peel, there was a imminent burning and irritating sensation, but the process was a lot more pleasant than I expected. After the treatment, I was given an after-care kit to ensure the proper healing of my skin.
Going into this, I envisioned that the peeling would be pretty noticeable, but it has been more than a week now and I still have not experienced any peeling of that sort. I also have not experienced any itching, which was one of the post-treatment symptoms. I would have preferred a more dramatic healing process as I would be able to really see the peel working its magic, but that would be my only complaint.
All in all, the peel did do what it claimed as I do notice some of the irritation from my acne going away and my skin looking more radiant!
