What is a Glycolic Chemical Peel?
A Glycolic Chemical Peel is a superficial to medium-depth chemical exfoliation that uses glycolic acid – a naturally derived Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) from sugar cane. Glycolic acid has a small molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin efficiently. It works by loosening the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together on the surface, promoting their gentle shedding. This process reveals fresh, new skin cells underneath and stimulates the skin's natural renewal process.
How Our Glycolic Chemical Peel Works:
- Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared to ensure optimal penetration of the peel solution.
- Application: The glycolic acid solution, at a concentration carefully selected for your skin type and concerns, is expertly applied to your skin. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this phase.
- Controlled Exfoliation: The acid works to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, encouraging them to shed.
- Neutralization: After a precise amount of time, the peel is neutralized, stopping the exfoliating action.
- Soothing & Hydration: A calming serum and hydrating moisturizer are applied to nourish and protect your newly revealed skin.
Key Benefits of Glycolic Chemical Peels:
- Brightens & Evens Skin Tone: Effectively reduces the appearance of sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left by acne), and overall dullness, revealing a more luminous complexion.
- Smooths Skin Texture: Refines rough, bumpy skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and superficial wrinkles.
- Minimizes Pores: Helps to clear congested pores and reduce their visible size.
- Combats Mild Acne: Exfoliates dead skin cells that can clog pores, helping to prevent breakouts and improve acne-prone skin.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Promotes cellular turnover and encourages the production of new collagen, leading to firmer, more elastic skin over time.
- Enhances Product Absorption: By removing the barrier of dead skin, your regular skincare products can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
- Safe & Customizable: Available in various strengths, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs and desired downtime.
- Minimal Downtime: Typically results in light flaking or peeling, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few days, making it a convenient option for skin renewal.
Ideal For:
- Dull, lacklustre skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage and age spots
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Mild acne and congested pores
- Anyone seeking a refreshed, revitalized complexion
Your Path to Renewed Skin:
- Personalized Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough skin analysis and consultation. Our specialist will assess your skin type, concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate glycolic acid concentration and treatment plan for you.
- Preparation: You may be advised on a pre-peel skincare regimen to prepare your skin for optimal results.
- Comfortable Treatment: The peel application is quick, and your comfort is our priority.
- Post-Treatment Care: You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize your results. Diligent sun protection is absolutely essential after any chemical peel.
- Series for Optimal Results: While a single peel can offer a fresh glow, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended to achieve the most significant and lasting improvements.
