Sequence and purpose
The service pairs dermaplaning immediately followed by the Factor Five Peel. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair and the top layer of dead skin cells, creating a smooth surface. Applying the peel after this step aims to achieve deeper, more even exfoliation and the brighter, smoother complexion described in the service overview.
How much improvement you see depends on starting skin condition and post-treatment care. The provider monitors skin response during the peel and adjusts application as needed. Outcomes are shaped by individual skin factors rather than being guaranteed, and your provider will discuss realistic expectations during consultation.
What happens during treatment
A single appointment is performed in one session that lasts 60 minutes. The provider will perform the dermaplaning first to clear surface build-up, then apply the Factor Five Peel. You may notice light contact during dermaplaning and a tingling or warming sensation while the peel is on; communicate any discomfort so application can be adjusted.
After the procedure you'll receive tailored aftercare guidance and follow-up recommendations. The clinician will explain how to care for your skin in the hours and days after treatment and which products or behaviors to report at your next visit, helping the results develop as expected.
Candidates and local considerations
This combined approach is chosen by clients seeking deeper exfoliation and a visibly smoother complexion. Gloss Skincare's North San Jose location, convenient to US 101, Interstate 880, State Route 87 and the airport, supports appointment-friendly scheduling for commuters and nearby professionals who value efficient, accessible treatments.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate; suitability depends on recent procedures, active skin conditions, medications, and recent sun exposure. Be prepared to discuss medical history and current skincare routines during your consultation so the provider can advise whether this service is appropriate for you.
