THE CLINICAL STANDARD FOR MELANIN-RICH SKIN
🤎SKIN OF COLOUR (S.O.C)
Represents 80% of the global population yet remains underserved in aesthetic medicine.
Standard protocols utilising heat and friction often trigger reactive melanocytes, leading to Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring.
The Glow Facial™ is a breakthrough clinical protocol designed to solve this.
✔️EVIDENCE-BASED
• Data-Driven: Proven efficacy through melanin-centered clinical formulation.
• Safety-First: 100% free from mechanical trauma and harsh acids
THE CLINICAL SCIENCE
Why Standard Facials Fail S.O.C
S.O.C is clinically defined by its response to UV radiation: it tans rather than burns. This indicates the presence of larger, hyper-reactive melanocytes. Traditional treatments that rely on aggressive heat or mechanical abrasion trigger a defensive inflammatory response in these cells.
The Solution: Modulation, Not Aggression
• Hyperpigmentation: Reducing tyrosinase activity.
• Acne: Reducing inflammation and bacterial proliferation.
• Fine Lines: Stimulating fibroblasts without heat shock.
• Textured Skin: Refining the stratum corneum safely.
• Dullness: Restoring barrier function and hydration.
Step-by-Step Mechanism of Action
1. Lymphatic Decongestion (Cupping)
2. Activation (RF + The Glow Peel)
3. Collagen Induction (Microneedling)
4. Cellular Repair (Glow Serum Infusion)
5. Anti-Pigmentation Seal (Glow Mask)
THE PROFESSIONAL PROTOCOL
Step 1: Cupping
- MECHANISM: Gentle negative pressure.
- S.O.C BENEFIT: Boosts micro-circulation and lymphatic drainage to separate tissues without generating friction-induced heat.
Step 2: ACTIVATION
- MECHANISM: A proprietary Tyrosinase-Inhibitor peel enhanced by controlled Radio Frequency.
- S.O.C BENEFIT: RF heat is used solely to activate Large Molecular Weight Acids. The energy does not penetrate deep enough to burn, ensuring safe, enhanced absorption. In addition, the order of radiofrequency 1st then microneedling is important to prevent PIH.
Step 3: Microneedling
- MECHANISM: Precision mechanical collagen stimulation.
- S.O.C BENEFIT: Performed after the heat step to prevent inflammation stacking. Creates micro-channels to stimulate collagen synthesis without PIH risk at a maximum 0.4mm.
Step 4: CELLULAR REPAIR
- MECHANISM: Infusion of DNA Repair Enzymes & Small Molecule Actives via micro-channels.
- S.O.C BENEFIT: Bypasses the barrier to target deep cellular damage and accelerate repair.
Step 5: BARRIER SEAL
- MECHANISM: Cooling, occlusive glow mask.
- S.O.C BENEFIT: Immediately sedates melanocytes with tyrosinase inhibitors. Stem cells, peptides and ceramide rich sheet locks active ingredients post microneedling for maximum penetration. This is followed by a humidifier, Ceramide-Peptide rich moisturiser and mineral SPF50 to restore the lipid barrier.
What THE patient can expect:
📆 DAY 0-1: Skin will look pink (avoid makeup, excess sweating)
📆 DAY 2-WEEK 2: Skin will glow, fine lines will improve
📆 WEEK 6: Acne and hyperpigmentation will start to improve. Skin will have more bounce.
📆 AFTER 3 SESSIONS (12-18 WEEKS): Acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, texture and dull skin will significantly improve.
🔁 The patient can either proceed with ongoing treatment or move to yearly maintenance sessions.

FAQs
In-clinic training is optional but recommended where possible. The online training provides all the essential knowledge needed to get started safely and effectively, while the in-person session can help refine your technique and build additional confidence.
No. The protocol works with standard Radiofrequency and Microneedling devices (e.g. Dermapen). If you don't have them, we can recommend affordable partners.
We recommend Dr Pen with cartridges costing £3.50/use
Yes. This is the only peel protocol specifically designed to be safe for skin of colour. We use large molecule acids to prevent "hot spots."
We use Radio frequency 1st Then Microneedle- In that order to prevent
PIH.
We use humidifiers, not steam as SOC has less ceramides.
Our Professional use Chemical peel has large molecular weight acids plus tyrosinase inhibitors for maximum penetration of brighteners plus smooths the epidermis ready for even microneedling.
We formulated a safe post icroneedling serum to maximise collagen stimulation and improve dermal melasma without irritating the skin
The professional grade sheet mask contains stem cells, peptides, ceramides and tyrosinase inhibitors for hyperpigmentation and acne after microneedling for maximum penetration.
Skin of Colour is prone to PIH. Using our Tyrosinase Inhibitor system post-treatment
is clinically necessary to ensure safety and results. We do not insure treatments done without the kit.
Because this is a professional medical protocol, we only supply full kits to certified
clinics. However, we offer a full money-back guarantee on unopened professional
stock.
We limit licenses to one clinic per postcode area (road). Once you purchase the Starter
Kit, that area is locked for you as long as you remain an active partner.
