Glycolic Skin Peels Glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, stimulates new skin healthy growth by sloughing off the surface dead skin cells to make your skin natural-looking, smooth, and bright. Glycolic acid skin care products can be used to treat acne scarring, skin aging, and skin sun-damage. How does glycolic acid skin care treatment work?The skin care product we use is a prescription only, strong glycolic peel, licensed for physician use only. The skin should be treated with home skin care products containing a mild glycolic acid for 2 weeks before the treatment, this will help prepare the skin and make skin heal faster after treatment. During the procedure, the skin is cleansed with a pre-peel solution and then the glycolic peel is painted onto the skin, like a mask. It is left on for 1 minute and then cleansed off. Generally a series of 6 skin treatments administered weekly is recommended, however single skin treatments regularly can also achieve excellent results. |
