Glycolic peel treatments.

A few weeks ago a client came to me to get some advices to a better skin. She tried many products but it seemed that none of them worked the way she wanted.

Symptoms : She had small scars and small "bumps" on the lower jaw caused by squeezing pimples. Her "T-zone" was oily with enlarged pores and she didn't have that brightness that healthy skins have.
I advised her to try a package of glycolic treatments and see if it helped.
The skin already improved after the first treatment and got more brightness... we just finished the package of 6 treatments and almost all the scars and "bumps" have disappeared; the colour of the skin is much healthier, and there is definitely an improvement on the T-zone area.

So how glycolic peels work??

The Glycolic Peel is a safe and painless exfoliation process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. This form of skin rejuvenation uses glycolic acid to remove damaged cells on the top layer of skin. Removal of damaged cells stimulates cell division that results in plumper, healthier young cells.

Glycolic acid removes old, damaged cells on the top layer of skin and as a result it smoothes and softens the skin, diminishes fine lines, decreases acne outbreaks, evens out skin tone coloration and lightens hyper pigmented areas.

How does it feel?

The solution is applied to the skin and we usually note a burning sensation similar to a sunburn after the procedure. As with any exfoliation or resurfacing, it is important to use sunscreens, because the skin is more susceptible to injury by the sun.

How long does it last?

Mild Glycolic Acid-based peels take about 10 minutes. Most people notice a change in the skin right away. For optimal effect it is recommended that Glycolic Peels are performed weekly for six weeks.
