Chemical Peel

Glycolic acid peels are a versatile and effective skincare treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to fine lines and uneven texture.

Glycolic acid peel treatments are renowned for their ability to enhance skin texture. By penetrating the uppermost layers of the skin, glycolic acid dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding and revealing the fresher, more radiant skin beneath. This exfoliation process not only smooths out rough patches but also stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and a youthful glow.

A glycolic acid peel involves applying a solution containing glycolic acid to the skin, which helps to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath and can address various skin concerns.

Chemical peel works to dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. This process promotes cell turnover, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The concentration of glycolic acid in the peel can vary, typically ranging from 20% to 70%, depending on the desired strength and the patient’s skin type.

Glycolic acid treats many symptoms at once. So, you not only get the result you want, you also get smoother skin. Plus, glycolic acid doesn’t have a high risk of causing skin irritations, swelling, or excessive peeling.

Benefits

1. Exfoliation and Smoother Skin: Glycolic acid peels provide deep exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and promoting a smoother skin surface. This results in a more radiant and youthful appearance.
2. Brightening: They can help to fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and melasma, leading to a more even skin tone.
3. Improved Product Absorption: By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, glycolic acid peels enhance the skin’s ability to absorb other skincare products more effectively.
4. Improved Texture: They help to refine the skin’s texture, making it softer and more even.
5. Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Glycolic acid peels can lighten dark spots, sun damage, and melasma, leading to a more even skin tone.
6. Anti-Aging Effects: By stimulating collagen production, glycolic acid peels help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, offering a more youthful complexion.
7. Acne Treatment: These peels are effective in treating acne by keeping pores clear of dead skin cells and excess oil, reducing the frequency and severity of breakouts.

The frequency of glycolic acid peels can vary based on the individual’s skin type and concerns. Many people start with a series of treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every few months.

• Moisturize: Keeping the skin well-hydrated is crucial to aid the healing process.
• Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using other exfoliants or strong active ingredients (like retinoids) for several days post-peel to avoid irritation.
• Sun Protection: It is vital to apply sunscreen with a high SPF, as glycolic acid peels can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
• Downtime: Mild peels typically have minimal downtime, with some redness and peeling that subsides within a few days. Deeper peels may require a longer recovery period.
