Enliven Your Skin With Glo2Facial

The Dermatology Center of McKinney wants to help our patients by providing the best noninvasive skin treatments available. Our extensive array of approachable solutions to skincare concerns feature the Glo2Facial. This treatment happens in three skin-boosting steps: exfoliation, oxygenation, and nutrient infusion.

The Bohr Effect

The Glo2Facial in McKinney leverages the Bohr effect to enhance skin health and appearance dramatically.

Glo2Facials start with an exfoliation process that creates a CO2 rich environment on the skin’s surface.

The body quickly responds by delivering oxygen-infused blood to the skin’s surface, replacing said CO2. This oxygenates the skin, significantly improving its ability to absorb essential nutrients.

Preparing for Glo2Facial

What to Do:

  • Hydrate well before the appointment to ensure the skin is optimally pliable for treatment.
  • Arrive with a clean face free of makeup or moisturizers.
  • Discuss any allergies and skin sensitivities with your provider beforehand.

What to Avoid:

  • Avoid any invasive procedures, such as injections or fillers, for at least two weeks prior.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for a week before treatment to minimize sensitivity.
  • Do not use exfoliating agents or retinoids for 48 hours prior to treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

What to Do:

  • Continue to hydrate well to enhance the skin’s healing and rejuvenation.
  • Apply a gentle moisturizer if the skin feels dry, and continue to use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
  • Resume normal skincare routines as advised by Dr. Ralston.

What to Avoid:

  • Avoid washing the face or taking a shower until at least 6 hours after treatment. The serum and treatment need time to absorb into the skin.
  • Refrain from using makeup, engaging in strenuous exercise, or exposing skin to heat for at least 24 hours.
  • Refrain from saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths for at least 24 to 48 hours post treatment.

What to Expect

Glo2Facial in McKinney starts with a provider-led conversation. Skincare experts will assess each patient’s skin type during this session and discuss their concerns. This discussion ensures that each treatment is tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs, including selecting the most appropriate serums for the infusion step. Our specialists also answer any questions their patients have about the process and what to expect.

The Glo2Facial treatment is a multi-step process designed to maximize skin health:

  1. The first step involves gently exfoliating the outer layer of skin to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for deeper treatment.
  2. Then, using a precise, controlled application of bubbles and pressure, impurities are extracted from pores to enhance the clarity and texture of the skin.
  3. Finally, a serum specially chosen based on the patient’s needs is infused into their skin. The Bohr effect, created in steps 2 and 3, optimizes serum absorption and effectiveness.

Following a Glo2Facial in McKinney, Dr. Ralstons will provide patients with a customized maintenance plan to extend and enhance the results. This plan includes recommendations for daily skincare products and a schedule for follow-up treatments, if needed.
