Glycolic Peel

A glycolic peel is a chemical peel that is an exceptional option for you if you want smoother, youthful, and more radiant skin. A glycolic peel uses a mild alphahydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane to create a light peel of the outermost damaged layers of the skin. A glycolic peel is an excellent non-surgical minimally invasive procedure that can treat fine facial wrinkles, acne, uneven pigment, and skin dryness.

The glycolic peel works by loosening and reducing the glue-like substance that holds the damaged outer skin cells to each other and the underlying tissues. This action sluffs off the unhealthy layers of skin and also unblocks the follicles to reduce and prevent acne. The glycolic peel then works deeper into the skin to rejuvenate and regenerate collagen and elastin. This effect can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and make the skin more radiant, vibrant, and younger looking.

A glycolic peel in an excellent alternative to deeper peels for people who don't want to go through the discomfort and recovery period. A glycolic peel can be done without with virtually no skin redness or other unwanted after effects. You will be able to resume normal activities after a glycolic peel almost immediately. Time off from work is not required.

Most people will require a series of treatments combined with home care in order to achieve the best results. If you would like to learn more about the amazing benefits of a glycolic peel, please contact us today to schedule your complimentary consultation.
