FAQ
- How do I determine which GlyMed Plus Prepping Agent to use with my peel? Both GlyMed Plus Prepping Agents are equally effective in preparing the skin for any professional protocols.
- I have cleansed the skin sufficiently, can I bypass the Prepping Agent? No, nothing replaces the all-important pre-treatment step in a procedure. GlyMed Plus Prepping Agents contain ingredients that break down the barrier in the skin for more even application. Cleansing alone cannot replace this step.
- I noticed all GlyMed Plus protocols offer the option of using either cotton or gauze. How do I decide which one to use? Cotton is much softer and will be less aggressive. Gauze, on the other hand, creates a more abrasive result and will increase the bio-availablity of the peel.
- Is this product safe for pregnant or breastfeeding moms? No, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to receive chemical treatments.
