Glycolic Peels
What can you treat with Glycolic skin peels?
Many skin problems are associated with an excessive build up of dead skin cells, which make the skin thick and dull, usually clogging the pores. Glycolic acid is the naturally occurring, non-toxic Alpha Hydroxy Acid derived from sugar cane , which means it has minimal risks of complications.
What are Glycolic peels?
Glycolic Peels are unique treatments which eliminates dead skin build up to allow the skin to glow with health. Pores are deeply cleansed and impurities are removed. The skin moisture levels and natural collagen production are improved, resulting in a clear and bright complexion with firmed and toned Contours. Glycolic Penetrates down to the deeper living layers of the skin where it changes the way skin is functioning, creating a younger & healthier skin. Glycolic peel is suitable for the face & neck, back, hands and chest.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
A course of six to eight treatments are recommended1 to 2 weeks apart for maximum results. Other treatments of microdermabrasion and Intense Pulsed Light may also be incorporated into the treatment plan to further enhance the results.
Do I need to prepare my skin?
Following a consultation with a skin specialist you will be advised to use prescribed homecare products for at least 2 weeks to prepare the skin properly.
What are the Possible Side Effects?
True allergic reaction to the product is very rare. Slight redness and mild flaking is common following the treatment and this is why the skin is prepared prior to peeling.
Will The Treatment Hurt?
Glycolic Peels are comfortable treatments. You may experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation when the peel is applied to your skin. This is normal and subsides very quickly depending on skin sensitivity.
What After Care Is Involved?
It is important to always apply a total protector following your peels. SPF15 or 30 protects the skin and prevents future skin damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays. Make up can be applied to the skin immediately after treatment.
