How Dermathod Is Used in Professional Treatment Rooms: Esthetician Protocols, Benefits, and Application Tips

How Dermathod Is Used in Professional Treatment Rooms (and How to Bring These Results Home)

Dermathod has become one of my go to professional systems at Skin Accord because it delivers visible, camera ready results without irritation or downtime. The Dermathod line combines gentle exfoliation, breathable film technology, and barrier supporting formulas that perform beautifully in the treatment room and are easy for clients to maintain at home. This guide explains exactly how Dermathod is used in professional facial protocols and how you can extend those results with a simple home routine.

Why Estheticians Choose Dermathod for Professional Facials

Dermathod was designed with sensitive and barrier compromised skin in mind, which makes it ideal for modern facial work where clients want glow without redness or peeling. In professional treatment rooms, estheticians reach for Dermathod because it offers:

  • Gentle yet effective exfoliation with PHAs and modern lipid friendly exfoliants instead of harsh acid cocktails
  • Breathable film technology that leaves the skin polished and glass like, not stripped or tight
  • Barrier supportive finishes like Revive Healer Gel, Soba Calm Cream, and Ami Sterol Cream
  • Compatibility with devices such as LED therapy, microcurrent, and infusion based treatments
  • Reliable results on multiple skin types, from dull and dehydrated to sensitive and reactive

Because Dermathod is low irritation and barrier conscious, it allows estheticians to layer in brightening, hydrating, and firming steps without worrying about sending a client home red or over exfoliated.

How Dermathod Products Fit Into Professional Facial Protocols

In the treatment room, each Dermathod product has a clear role. Here is how I typically place them inside a facial flow.

Cleansing and Prep Phase

  • Revive Cleansing Gel – a gentle gel cleanser that removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup while keeping the barrier comfortable and hydrated.
  • Moist Morning Touch Foam Cleanser – a soft foam that works well for normal to combination skin or as a second cleanse, leaving the skin fresh but not squeaky.

Exfoliation Phase

  • Priming Peel Pads – gentle chemical exfoliation that smooths texture and brightens without sting. Ideal for most skin types and safe to pair with brightening ampoules.
  • O2 Tox Peel – a spicule and oxygen based resurfacing treatment that feels like a liquid microneedle experience. Used on its own as the primary exfoliation step and always followed with calming and barrier repair products.

Active Infusion and Treatment Phase

The EZ Jet Mela Effector is reserved for services that use the Peel Pads as the exfoliation step, not O2 Tox Peel.

Mask Phase

  • Revive Triple Action Mask – a treatment mask that supports hydration, soothing, and refining. It layers beautifully over ampoules and under LED therapy.

Soothing, Barrier Repair, and Finishing Phase

  • Revive Healer Gel – a cooling gel that soothes, hydrates, and supports recovery after exfoliation or O2 Tox Peel.
  • Soba Calm Cream – a calming cream often selected for redness prone or sensitized skin needing extra comfort.
  • Ami Sterol Cream – a barrier strengthening moisturizer that locks in all treatment steps and leaves a soft, elastic finish.

Professional Dermathod Facial Protocols

Below are four example facial protocols that show how Dermathod products can be layered in a professional setting. These are written from an esthetician perspective and may be adapted based on individual skin needs.

Protocol 1: Brightening and Pigment Refinement (Peel Pad Track)

  1. Cleanse
    Begin with Revive Cleansing Gel to remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup while keeping the skin balanced.
  2. Exfoliate
    Use Priming Peel Pads in gentle upward strokes over the face, avoiding the immediate eye area. This softens texture and preps the skin for brightening actives.
  3. Infuse Brightening Actives
    Apply Derma EZ Jet Mela Effector Ampoule, focusing on areas of uneven tone, dullness, or post inflammatory marks.
  4. Mask
    Layer Revive Triple Action Mask on top for added hydration, soothing, and glow. This step can be paired with LED for additional support.
  5. Finish and Protect the Barrier
    Seal in treatment with a light layer of Revive Healer Gel, then follow with Ami Sterol Cream to strengthen the barrier and leave a soft finish.

Protocol 2: Glass Skin Hydration Facial (Peel Pad Track)

  1. Cleanse
    Choose Moist Morning Touch Foam Cleanser or Revive Cleansing Gel based on skin type to create a clean but comfortable canvas.
  2. Exfoliate
    Sweep Priming Peel Pads over the skin to gently refine texture and create that smooth glass like surface.
  3. Hydration Infusion
    Layer a hydrating ampoule or hydrating serum of choice. Dermathod’s breathable film finish from the pads helps lock this step in and enhances the glass skin effect.
  4. Mask
    Apply Revive Triple Action Mask or a hydrating sheet mask. This is an ideal time to add LED or a gentle massage over the mask.
  5. Finish
    Finish with Revive Healer Gel for hydration and a final layer of Ami Sterol Cream to seal in moisture and maintain that luminous, dewy look.

Protocol 3: Sensitive Skin Renewal (O2 Tox Peel Track)

This protocol is for clients who need texture refinement and renewal but cannot tolerate strong acids. It uses O2 Tox Peel as the main resurfacing step and focuses heavily on soothing and barrier support.

  1. Cleanse
    Start with Moist Morning Touch Foam Cleanser or Revive Cleansing Gel, selecting whichever feels most comfortable for the client’s skin that day.
  2. Resurfacing with O2 Tox Peel
    Apply O2 Tox Peel according to protocol, avoiding the immediate eye and lip area. Allow the spicule and oxygen activity to work without layering other actives on top.
  3. Soothing and Recovery
    Follow with a generous application of Revive Healer Gel to cool, hydrate, and support recovery.
  4. Barrier Support
    Finish with Soba Calm Cream or Ami Sterol Cream, depending on whether the skin needs more calming or more barrier strengthening.

Protocol 4: Anti Aging and Firming Treatment (O2 Tox Peel Track)

  1. Cleanse
    Cleanse with Revive Cleansing Gel to remove buildup while maintaining comfort for mature or thinning skin.
  2. Resurface with O2 Tox Peel
    Apply O2 Tox Peel as the primary resurfacing step. This helps soften textural concerns and prime the skin for firming support. Do not layer EZ Jet ampoules in the same service.
  3. Support with LED and Mask
    Follow with LED therapy if appropriate, then apply Revive Triple Action Mask to comfort the skin and add hydration.
  4. Firming Finish
    Finish with Revive Healer Gel as a soothing layer and seal everything in with Ami Sterol Cream for barrier support and a plump, firm feel.

What Clients Typically Notice After a Dermathod Facial

Every skin is unique, but most clients notice right away that their skin feels:

  • smoother to the touch
  • more even looking and bright
  • less rough around the chin, nose, and forehead
  • better hydrated with a healthy sheen instead of dryness

These observations are based on esthetician experience in the treatment room and client feedback. Results vary, and sensitive or reactive skin should always be approached with a customized plan and proper aftercare.

How to Bring Dermathod Treatment Results Home

The best way to extend the benefits of your Dermathod facial is to mirror the same logic at home with a simple, realistic routine. Below are example routines using Dermathod products, inspired by the protocols above.

At Home Brightening Routine

At Home Glass Skin Hydration Routine

At Home Sensitive Skin Routine

At Home Barrier Support After O2 Tox Peel

For clients who receive O2 Tox Peel services in the treatment room, home care should focus on soothing and restoring rather than additional exfoliation.

After professional O2 Tox Peel treatments, exfoliating acids and strong active combinations should be limited until the skin feels fully comfortable again.
