Having a discussion with your healthcare professional can help you make the best decision for your skin that will leave you glowing.
Glycolic chemical peels (also known as glycolic acid peels) are cosmetic treatments with mild peels and great for most skin types and can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and to improve skin texture and skin tone. They are best for treating surface imperfections, like light skin discolorations, acne, and blackheads. This peel is also good for treating melasma and pore reduction.
Glycolic acids also stimulate collagen, so over time multiple glycolic peels may help with very fine wrinkles and mild skin imperfections. For best results, we recommend a series of four chemical peel treatments every 4 to 6 weeks and periodically thereafter to maintain results. There’s usually no obvious peeling with glycolic peels and results become visible after a series of treatments.
