Chemical peels can improve the skin’s appearance, stimulate new collagen and healthy skin, reduce discoloration, and smooth away the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
What is a Glycolic Peel?
Glycolic acid peels are facial peels that use alpha-hydroxy acid to chemically exfoliate sensitive skin to improve the appearance of dull, dry skin and uneven skin texture. They lighten hyperpigmentation to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, and treat superficial acne scars.
How Does a Glycolic Acid Peel Work?
Glycolic acid peels remove dead skin cells and debris by sloughing off the top and middle layers of the skin. Your facial skin can hold dead skin cells long after they’ve died off, but a chemical peel can help them finish the shedding process to improve skin texture, reduce flare-ups in acne-prone skin, and enhance collagen production.
It can work on just about any skin type, including oily skin, dry skin, and most skin tones and skin textures.
Does A Glycolic Chemical Peel Hurt?
Glycolic Peels are not painful. Patients may feel slight stinging or tingling, which only lasts while the peel is applied.
