Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Professional Peel Overview & Preliminary Review! I'm Partnering with Space NK Again, and There's a Peel Waiting for YOU!

The Three Step Professional Peel (Not available to the public)

Before I begin telling you about my amazing experience receiving a Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Professional Peel last night- I want to plant the seed that I am collaborating with Space NK again, and they are generously offering you the opportunity to experience what I experienced! This will happen on Saturday, October 19, 2013 between 1-5pm at the Space NK in Sherman Oaks, California (Located in Bloomingdale's). More details about the whole event forthcoming.

The Dr. Gross Alpha Beta Professional Peel is not the same as his now iconic two-step Alpha Beta Peel that you can purchase over-the-counter and use at home. The former is a professional peel performed by Dr. Dennis Gross in his office, by one of his trained aestheticians, or by other approved medical offices- while the latter is for at-home use.

Space NK and Dr. Gross were unbelievably generous and gracious with me because they specifically brought in an aesthetician for the sole purpose of giving me the same Professional Peel that I would receive were I to go and visit Dr. Dennis Gross at his Manhattan office. So off I headed to Space NK for an amazing treat, and I mean amazing! What a lucky lucky girl! Thank you for your generosity, and your game changing Professional Peel!

The lovely aesthetician, Nanyamka, who gave me the Peel, carefully explained every step of the process  in order to educate me and to demystify the experience. She understands the science behind each of the ingredients and before beginning quizzed me about my skin- ranging from skin type to whether or not I had any allergies, conditions or sensitivities. After I told her that I had combination skin that reacts well to things like peels (despite the fact that my skin can be quirky and periodically sensitive to things like too much silicone, petrolatum and mineral oil) she determined that I would be able to withstand the EXTRA STRENGTH Alpha Beta Peel.

About the Alpha Beta® Professional Peel:
This revoluntionary peel that made Dr. Gross famous offers exceptional benefits to all ages and skin types - with no recovery time, redness, flaking, or need for concealing makeup.
From the first treatment, its proprietary blend of professional strength five alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids improves skin's texture, firmness, vibrancy and radiance. With additional treatments, the appearance of fine lines is diminished, and pores, scars, acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation are visibly reduced. Since benefits are cumulative, monthly treatments, or a series of treatments is recommended.

Facts:
Treats face, neck, chest, back, legs, and hands as necessary
Anesthesia unnecessary
No recovery time, redness or flaking
No sun sensitivity with sunscreen use
To extend benefits, use in conjunction with at-home Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel and Daily Body Peel.

The Dr. Dennis Gross Professional Peel is a three-step process and lasts between 30-55 minutes. You may experience some tingling or burning after the acid is applied, but the neutralizer is applied very quickly- so if you do get that sensation it will generally subside quickly. If you have sensitive skin you will not have the EXTRA STRENGTH Alpha Beta Peel that was used on me- instead you will have one that is far more gentle.

What does this peel actually do?

For one thing, it immediately improves the texture, tone and radiance of the skin. Dr. Gross' three step professional peel is made of a blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids, that are responsible for the glowing, luminous, radiant and clear complexion that you will experience following this peel. What I find astounding is the fact that this is a non-irritating medical grade peel that gently exfoliates the skin without any of the snake-like molting of the skin associated with traditional medical peels. This patented peel has all of the benefits of a traditional peel, but without the need to go into hiding until you stop peeling and flaking. Additionally, you will find that fine lines and wrinkles are diminished because the peel will also stimulate collagen production thereby improving the skin density and firmness of your skin. Furthermore, you will find this this treatment will help to diminish the signs of sun damage such as hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and crepy skin.

Peels of this sort are able to target and breakdown hyperpigmented skin cells after repeated treatments. Thus results are cumulative for this Professional Peel, but at home maintenance through the use of his over-the-counter Alpha Beta Peel will go a long way to helping.

As with all peels and treatments of this sort, it is imperative that you avoid direct sun for a minimum of 48-72 hours following your treatment, and you will absolutely need to apply a high SPF sunscreen.

Overall assessment: My skin looks absolutely amazing the day following my Pro Peel! Not only did I not molt, but the only evidence of a peel is the fact that my skin looks luminous, smooth, tight, and radiant. My fine lines are diminished after just one peel, and I even noted that my areas of sun damage are greatly improved. This was an amazing experience, and I would be delighted for you to experience it as well! Nanyamka also sent me home with a bunch of the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel pads for maintenance following my peel-- I will start using the two-step program tonight, and will give you an update soon.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, and would love to receive this peel- then please contact SpaceNK Apothecary at (818) 325-2483 and ask for Sheri or Tanya, but any of the lovelies who work there can help you. Tell them that I sent you. This amazing facial is free with the purchase of Dr. Dennis Gross products, but you will definitely want the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel for maintenance after you experience the Pro Peel. If you are lucky enough to make it to this event, you will be thrilled by the results of the peel that you receive from Nanyamka!

  1. What a great collaboration, congrats! The peel sounds amazing, I would definitely go if I lived nearby. I can't wait for your update of the 2 step treatment, if you like it, I will try it.

    1. Thank you, Momo!! I love working with SpaceNK- they are truly wonderful!! We will have lots of upcoming things in the works as well. I will definitely keep you posted on how well the 2 step peel works. I let them know that there were so many readers who would love to partake, but who lived too far to do so. They will happily send all of you what you may want/need associated with the event-- plus they are offering a lovely gift bag filled with lovely things including a full size Kevyn Aucoin blush with a $125.00 purchase. I will post pictures very soon, and provide all of the details (it involves more vendors than Dr. Dennis Gross, and the GWP is good on all Space NK purchases)-- plus there is also free shipping at I think $100.00 purchase-- so it's pretty exciting all the way around!

      Since the Pro Peel was extraordinary-- I have very high hopes that the 2 step peel will be as well. I'm pretty blown away by the results-- particularly since my skin doesn't look scary!!!!!!

  2. I love SpaceNK and have been lucky enough to have had two of these professional peels gratis at SpaceNK events in NYC. As you say the results the next day are amazing, I use the at home peel (extra strength) but just 2-3 times a week and love it. I also love the oil free daily moisturizer and the all in one face wash, they just suit my skin so well.

    1. Hi Emma! I am so glad that you have had the Pro Peel-- it really is rather miraculous! I suspect that I will buying the Extra Strength at home peel as soon as I run out of the ones that I received! It seems to me that 2-3 times a week is plenty for the maintenance program. I have his Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum and think that it is amazing!!! I am definitely planning on investigating the line more thoroughly! I will definitely check out the all in one face wash as well! Have a lovely weekend! :-)

    1. This was AMAZING, Carrie! I absolutely recommend getting it-- check with the SpaceNK in your area. After doing it you use the at home version for maintenance-- my skin hasn't looked this amazing in as long as I can remember! <3

    1. Hi there, They sell it at SpaceNK, Nordstrom, Dr. Dennis Gross and Sephora online. They do not sell the professional peel to the public (in the bottles) that is not a retail item, but they do sell the maintenance pads.

  5. Why can't you live on the east coast for a while so you can do something like this out here? ;-)
