Treatment Options
SilkPeel Dermalinfusion and the Glo2Facial work through different mechanisms and deliver different experiences — your provider will recommend the right one based on your skin concerns and goals.
Medical-Grade Dermalinfusion · Envy Medical · Diamond Tip
The most precise dermal infusion system available — combining diamond-tip physical exfoliation, vacuum extraction, and simultaneous serum infusion in a single, closed-loop pass. Condition-specific solutions are delivered at the peak moment of skin receptivity for maximum absorption and results.
Both use a simultaneous exfoliation-and-infusion approach, but there are meaningful differences. SilkPeel uses a physical diamond-tipped handpiece rather than a vortex tip — this means it actually resurfaces the skin at a level closer to microdermabrasion, making it more effective for patients with texture concerns, rough skin, or conditions that benefit from deeper exfoliation. HydraFacial uses a chemical exfoliation approach (glycolic and salicylic acids) and is optimized for extraction and surface hydration.
SilkPeel's diamond tip also means no crystals or abrasive particles — just precision mechanical exfoliation. It can be used on the body, hands, neck, and even around the eyes and lips. For physician-directed practices, SilkPeel's medical-grade serums and customization make it the stronger clinical tool.
Skin's permeability peaks the instant it is exfoliated — the outermost barrier has just been disrupted and the deeper layers are maximally receptive to active ingredients. If serum is applied even a few minutes after exfoliation, the skin has already begun closing its channels and the absorption window has passed.
SilkPeel delivers serum under gentle vacuum pressure simultaneously with the diamond-tip pass — bridging that critical window so active ingredients penetrate to the epidermal-dermal junction rather than just sitting on the surface. This is why Envy Medical reports up to a 70% increase in tissue volume immediately post-treatment — a level of hydration and ingredient delivery that topical application simply cannot achieve.
Yes — and this is one of SilkPeel's clinical strengths. The ClarityMD acne serum combines salicylic acid (a BHA that penetrates pores and dissolves debris), bakuchiol (a gentle retinol alternative), and oregano oil (antimicrobial) — all delivered directly into the pore at the moment of exfoliation. The simultaneous vacuum extraction also physically clears congestion from pores during treatment.
For patients with active breakouts, your provider will select a brush tip rather than a diamond tip in areas with active lesions — achieving exfoliation without aggravating inflamed skin. SilkPeel can also be used to manage oily T-zones with the ClarityMD serum while treating drier areas with a hydrating serum in the same session using the dual-port IndiviDUAL system.
For general skin health and maintenance, most patients benefit from a SilkPeel once a month — aligned with the skin's natural cellular renewal cycle. For patients treating specific concerns (acne, hyperpigmentation, dryness), a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart produces cumulative improvement before transitioning to monthly maintenance.
SilkPeel is also excellent as a pre-treatment primer before laser or RF sessions — removing dead cell buildup, decongesting pores, and optimizing skin receptivity. And after more intensive treatments like Secret RF or CO2, a gentle SilkPeel with hydrating serum supports recovery and restores glow during the healing phase.
OxyGeneo Technology · Geneo · 4-Modality Treatment
The only facial that oxygenates skin from the inside out — using the body's own Bohr Effect response rather than applying oxygen topically. Four modalities in one ultra-relaxing session: RF Pro, Oxfoliation™, Ultrasound, and Lymphatic Massage.
The first-ever RF modality FDA-cleared for esthetician use. Firms the skin by gently heating the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin — adding a structural benefit that traditional facials cannot offer.
OxyPods react with Primer Gel to create CO₂-rich bubbles that gently exfoliate and trigger the Bohr Effect — a natural physiological response where the body sends oxygen-rich blood to the skin from within. This internal oxygenation is deeper and longer-lasting than topical oxygen application.
Micro-vibrations increase skin permeability, allowing the active ingredients in your chosen OxyPod serum to penetrate deeper and stay longer in the skin for extended hydration and nourishment.
A hands-free massage that reduces redness, puffiness, and inflammation while supporting lymphatic drainage and continued infusion of active ingredients into the skin. Leaves the face looking sculpted and refreshed.
The Bohr Effect is a well-established physiological principle: when CO₂ levels rise in a tissue, the body responds by increasing oxygen delivery to that area. The Glo2Facial's Oxfoliation™ creates a CO₂-rich environment on the skin surface using OxyPods — triggering this natural response so the body actively sends oxygen-rich blood to the skin from within.
This internal oxygenation is fundamentally different from traditional oxygen facials that push oxygen onto the skin's surface. Surface-applied oxygen can only penetrate the outermost epidermal layers. The Bohr Effect delivers oxygenation deeper and more effectively — which is why the Glo2Facial produces a distinctly different quality of glow compared to other facials. The skin isn't just clean — it's genuinely more oxygenated at a cellular level.
Yes — this is one of the Glo2Facial's most important clinical advantages. The Oxfoliation process is non-abrasive and non-irritating — the CO₂ bubbles are gentle enough for reactive, rosacea-prone, and even eczema-prone skin. There are no chemical acids, no mechanical abrasion, and no heat applied to the skin surface.
The OxyPod formulations are free of preservatives, dyes, fragrances, parabens, and gluten — all vegan, all designed to be as gentle as they are effective. For patients who have been unable to tolerate more active facial treatments, the Glo2Facial often becomes their go-to maintenance option.
Geneo offers seven distinct Glo2Facial customizations — each using a different OxyPod formulation targeting specific skin concerns. These include protocols for anti-aging and rejuvenation, brightening and tone correction, acne and blemish-prone skin, hydration and plumping, detox and environmental protection, sensitive and reactive skin, and a body treatment option for areas like the chest, hands, and arms.
Your provider will assess your skin and select the most appropriate OxyPod for your goals at each visit — and the customization can change session to session based on seasonal skin changes, upcoming events, or treatment goals.
Absolutely — the Glo2Facial is one of the best pre-event treatments available. Because there is zero downtime, zero redness, and zero irritation risk, you can schedule it the day of or the day before an important event. The combination of internal oxygenation, lymphatic drainage, and active ingredient infusion produces an immediate, natural, healthy glow that photographs beautifully and lasts for days.
Many patients schedule a Glo2Facial before weddings, photo shoots, or milestone events specifically for this reason. It's also an excellent option to pair with injectable appointments — the lymphatic massage reduces post-injection puffiness without compromising treated areas.
Which is Right for You?
Envy Medical Dermalinfusion · Diamond Tip
Geneo · OxyGeneo Technology · 4 Modalities
Can't choose? Many patients rotate between both — using SilkPeel for targeted monthly maintenance and switching to the Glo2Facial for pre-event glow or when the skin needs a gentler, more nourishing session. Your provider will build a treatment calendar that makes the most sense for your skin, your schedule, and your goals. Both can also be alternated with — or used to support — your energy-based treatment plan.
Part of Your Bigger Plan
A SilkPeel session 1–2 weeks before an IPL, CO2, or RF treatment removes dead cell buildup, decongests pores, and primes the skin to respond more effectively to energy-based treatment. Better treatment canvas = better results.
After CO2 CoolPeel or Secret RF, a gentle Glo2Facial with hydrating OxyPod accelerates recovery, reduces post-treatment redness, and restores glow during the healing phase — without compromising treatment results.
Between laser or RF sessions, monthly SilkPeel or Glo2Facial treatments sustain skin quality, prevent buildup, maintain hydration, and keep results looking their best between appointments — making your overall investment go further.
