Before anything is done on the skin, it is important for one to first identify the type of skin which they are working on. For example, is it dry or oily? The skin of the patient or outpatient is then cleansed with an agent so as to remove the excess oils on the skin. During this cleansing process, the eyes and hair are sufficiently protected.

Once this is done, the chemical solutions are then applied to the spots that are scarred or which have blemishes. The range of chemical solutions used can include glycolic acid, the carbolic acid, the salicylic acid, the lactic acid, and the trichloroacetic acid. The chemical solutions introduce a controlled wound that slowly dissolves away the outer damaged skin and allows the regenerated skin to bloom.

The process can take up to two weeks to be complete. People who suffer from cold sores are advised to start by taking antiviral medicines at least two weeks prior to the procedure. If all is well then, one can go ahead and apply Glow Medi-Facials.
