GlycoAla in Wareham, MA

At Nadomi MedSpa in Wareham, MA, we proudly offer the most innovative and cutting-edge procedures to help our patients achieve their ultimate skin care goals. Using GlycoAla and Poly Pro light therapy, the Nadomi MedSpa skin care team, led by Dr. Nada Zaknoun, helps patients attain soft, supple, and rejuvenated skin. The secret lies in the combination of two highly powerful treatments. GlycoAla is a photodynamic gel with hyaluronic acid that is applied to the skin following an exfoliation. The gel is left on the skin for around 40 minutes before it is removed, and you are placed beneath the Poly Pro light. The treatment has proven effective on peri-orbital wrinkles while improving skin tone and reducing visible signs of sun damage and pores. To learn more about the benefits of this procedure, read on and then schedule your appointment by contacting our friendly front office team.

GlycoAla is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation tool that includes hyaluronic acid, the acting ingredient in several popular dermal fillers. However, GlycoAla’s delivery system with LED light therapy means you get the advantages of hyaluronic acid without the needles and via a revitalizing Poly Pro treatment. Benefits of GlycoAla gel administered at Nadomi Medspa in Wareham, MA include:

• Minimizing wrinkles, fine lines, and creases
• Reducing sun damage and age spots
• Adding facial volume
• Evening out facial texture and tone
• Lessening the appearance of visible pores
• Hydrating the skin and preserving moisture
• Noninvasive treatments with no downtime

Skin rejuvenation is an excellent choice for patients who desire noninvasive, low-risk, skin care solutions that offer optimal effectiveness. This one-of-a-kind treatment involves the use of cosmetic photodynamic gel with hyaluronic acid combined with the power of Poly Pro light therapy. The powerful ingredients, which are light-activated, work to create impressive results by:

• Reducing pore size
• Creating softer, supple skin
• Improving skin texture and laxity
• Reducing excessive oil production
• Diminishing fine lines and wrinkles

After a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, a member of our team will help you to lie down comfortably in one of our treatment chairs. Your skin will first be cleansed and exfoliated to remove dead skin before the GlycoAla gel is applied. The gel will be left to work on your skin for around 40 minutes at which time it is carefully removed. Next, the Poly Pro red LED light therapy is lowered over your face. The gel, which was absorbed by your skin, will work together with light energy to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin. At the end of your session, you will be released to return to your daily activities.

The entire treatment lasts between 70 – 90 minutes and is mostly comfortable. Most patients claim they feel a tingling sensation while the gel is on their skin. Your skin will be sensitive to the sun for two days following treatment. Your skin may also be red and slightly tender to the touch, but this will subside quickly. Patients typically notice beautiful results around one month after their first treatment, but the very best outcomes are experienced by those who undergo three recommended sessions.

Is the treatment safe and effective?
Yes. The treatment is safe for most individuals; however, those with photosensitivity may not be candidates. In terms of efficacy, GlycoAla is clinically proven to firm the skin, improve tone and texture, and reduce pore size. Thus, this treatment is highly effective.

Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
A member of our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and help explain how best to care for your skin in the days after treatment. In many cases, makeup can be applied the next day, but some patients may need to wait 2 – 10 days before applying makeup.

Do I need to take special precautions after treatment?
You will need to protect your skin by avoiding direct sunlight for 48 hours after treatment. After the first two days, sun exposure is typically safe, but patients should wear a high SPF sunscreen to protect their skin.

How many sessions will I need?
While patients often notice results after just one treatment, the best and most radiant results are achieved following three spaced-out treatments. These details will be discussed and determined during your consultation.

Can GlycoAla be used on dark skin?
Generally speaking, GlycoAla is considered safe for all skin types. However, patients with very dark skin may require a pre-treatment preparation step. Dr. Zaknoun or an experienced member of our team will assess your skin and determine whether you may be a suitable candidate for treatment and/or whether any additional preparation may be needed.

Can men get GlycoAla treatment?
Absolutely! GlycoAla offers both men and women the opportunity to address unwanted signs of aging and achieve a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.
