Treatment steps and components
The service combines a professional Factor Five Peel followed by Factor Five Exofecta, a post-treatment formula containing exosomes, growth factors, and copper peptides. During the single 60-minute appointment the peel is applied first, then the Exofecta is used to calm the skin and support recovery while preserving the professional oversight of your provider.
This sequence is designed so the post-treatment formula is applied immediately after exfoliation, when skin can most benefit from calming and supportive actives. The Exofecta layer is intended to work alongside the peel to enhance the overall treatment experience without changing the peel itself.
Recovery and aftercare considerations
It’s normal to notice temporary redness, warmth, or sensitivity after a professional peel; the Factor Five Exofecta is formulated to help calm and support recovery. Clients should anticipate some immediate post-treatment changes and follow their provider’s directions for soothing and protection to minimize discomfort while the skin recovers.
Because Los Gatos residents often spend time outdoors on trails and downtown errands, diligent sun protection and gentle skincare are key after any peel. Avoiding harsh active ingredients and direct sun exposure until your provider clears you is a practical trade-off to protect the treatment outcome.
Deciding if it’s right
This combined service is suited to clients seeking a professionally administered peel with an added post-treatment formula to calm and support recovery. The service is offered as a single 60-minute appointment priced at $425, which is a consideration for those balancing time and budget against desired professional-level care.
Before booking, discuss your skin history and concerns with the clinician so they can confirm suitability and set realistic expectations. The treatment’s benefits derive from the professional peel plus Exofecta application; individual suitability and the best timing for sessions are determined during consultation.
