GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL (PROFESSIONAL RAPID EXFOLIATION TREATMENT)
Glycolic acid is an alphahydroxy acid naturally found in the sugar cane plant. It penetrates the skin and loosens thickened surface layers that appear as dry rough, scaling skin. As the uppermost layers are sloughed away, skin with a smoother texture and healthier appearance is revealed.
Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids are the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels. These types of peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for people who can't spare the time to recover from a phenol or TCA peel. AHA peels may be used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Various concentrations of an AHA may be applied weekly or at longer intervals to obtain the best result. Your Aesthetician will make this decision during your consultation and as the treatment proceeds. An alphahydroxy acid, such as glycolic acid, can also be mixed with a facial wash or cream in lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care regimen to improve the skin's texture.
