Glycolic Peel Treatment

A glycolic peel is a gentle abrasive technique is excellent for sun-damaged and rough-textured skin. A stream of microscopic crystals gently removes the dry, damaged outer layer of skin, revealing the younger-looking, healthier skin underneath, and is safe to use on all skin types and colors. Glycolic peels enhance the skin’s condition by stimulating collagen production, removing dead and flaking skin cells and stimulating the production of fresh, young skin cell. Many clients report that their skin feels softer, tighter and smoother with improved tone, color and texture after a glycolic peel.

Treatment Time (Duration of Treatment)

Glycolic peel treatment sessions last approximately 20-30 minutes.

What Does a Glycolic Peel Feel Like?

Glycolic peels are painless and have been reported to feel very refreshing.

Post-Glycolic Peel Treatment

Post procedure lotion followed by sun block should be applied to the treated area. This protocol should be continued for 2-3 days post-treatment. It is important to abstain from all tanning, including natural sun exposure, tanning lights, creams and sprays for one week following treatment. Glycolic peels are often followed by a mild facial peel to increase the benefits of both treatments.
