Why 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: Gentle, Controlled Treatment
• 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 TECHNIQUES:
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)
FURTHER DETAILS
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 you'll Notice & when:
📆 DAY 0-1: A healthy flush and refreshed look
📆 DAY 2-WEEK 2: Visible glow, smoother surface and hydration boost
📆 WEEK 6: Reduction in pigmentation concerns and improved texture
📆 AFTER 3 SESSIONS (12-18 WEEKS):
Noticeable transformation in acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and overall skin quality
🔁 You can then proceed with ongoing treatment or move to yearly maintenance sessions.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
This facial has been developed specifically for people with skin of colour, designed to preserve barrier function and prevent common reactive responses such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - something many standard facials can inadvertently trigger. If you’ve struggled to find a treatment that works with your skin instead of irritating it, the Glow Facial is tailored for you.
