Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Peel

On Friday, I experienced an amazing Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Peel and skincare consultation at Space.NK Soho at 99 Greene Street. This medical grade resurfacing treatment helps repair, prevent and protect against sun damage, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pore size, oily or dry skin types, acne, scarring, textured epidermis, as well as wrinkles and elasticity. 

The half hour peel process consisted of first applying the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Ferulic Acid Retinol Brightening Solution, Hydra-Pure Firming Serum (since I am more focused anti-aging) and Alpha Beta Peel two-step anti-aging treatment. I felt slight tingling and stinging during the peel, which is normal, yet it didn't leave my skin red or irritated. Immediately after the peel my skin felt incredibly radiant, healthy and revived. This peel is recommended ever 4-6 weeks, avoiding exfoliation for the next 72 hours following the peel. The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peel is recommended for daily, at-home treatments.

The Pro Peel benefits all ages and skin types. The Pro Peel treatment is available at Dr. Dennis Gross at 900 5th Avenue, between E. 71st and E. 72nd Streets. The cost of the treatment ranges from $250-$600. You can learn more about Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare here. 

Many thanks to Sal for an amazing treatment and to Space.NK for inviting me in for this special treatment!
