The Glycolic Peel is a mild chemical peel. It is a safe and painless exfoliation process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. Removal of damaged cells stimulates cell division that results in plumper, healthier young cells.

The Glycolic Peel procedure smoothes and softens the skin, diminishes fine lines, decreases acne outbreaks, evens out coloration and lightens hyper pigmented areas.

The Glycolic Peel can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs. The solution is applied to the skin and patients 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.

Generally, multiple treatments are necessary which is determined by our Skin Therapist after a skin consultation.

Glycolic Acid-based peels take about 20 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.
