Total Glow Medical Spa launches GlycoAla in US

Total Glow Medical Spa, a San Francisco Bay Area provider of clinical skincare, has begun to offer GlycoAla, a cosmetic photodynamic product with hyaluronic acid, in the US.

GlycoAla, which is being distributed in the US by DermaConcepts, is light-activated during a series of three treatments.

GlycoAla is a gel with a photoactive ingredient that is encapsulated in nanoparticles called “glycospheres.”

Due to its stability and speed of skin absorption, the gel is claimed to be unique among cosmetic photodynamic products.

Further, the product is claimed to produce results with less discomfort, downtime, side effects and cost than several other techniques.

It aids to reduce pores and sun damage, which helps in making the skin look brighter and more hydrated.

Total Glow founder and managing director Terrie Absher said: “GlycoAla has been a perfect fit for our practice.  We’ve seen visible improvement in pore size, sun damage, and overall plumper, smoother-looking skin.

“The results are extraordinary; it’s been a game changer for our patients.   Moreover, we treat a very diverse population and GlycoAla’s suitability for all skin types is a key factor for us.”

GlycoAla is activated due to the use of the Omnilux LED Light Therapy System, a device is used as a stand-alone therapy for acne, skin rejuvenation and many other applications.

DermaConcepts is a distributor of aesthetic products, professional training programmes. It is also the only US distributor of Environ Skin Care and GlycoAla cosmetic photodynamic gel.
