What is a Glycolic Acid Peel?
Glycolic acid peel refers to a chemical peel that contains glycolic acid as the primary ingredient. Glycolic acid is presently a sought-after treatment for acne and wrinkles. Glycolic acid belongs to the alpha hydroxyl family of natural ingredients, and it is extracted from sugar cane.
It is a fruit acid, and when it is applied to the skin, it eliminates the “glue” that holds the rougher, drier, and older skin on the surface. The fresh and new skin layer is visible when it eliminates that upper skin layer. This new layer is free from damage which makes it look brighter and cleaner.
Individuals who have undergone glycolic acid peels are often pleasantly surprised with the outcomes. They appear younger with lesser wrinkles and fine lines. In case they have acne, they find that their skin is much less oily and brighter.
How does a glycolic acid peel work?
The treatment provider will apply a light layer to your face and leave it for some time. The duration will depend on the specific peel you are having, the reasons for getting the peel and the glycolic peel provider.
After the peel is removed, you can leave the office. There is no specific downtime or the requirement for pain relievers with a light peel. In case you feel uncomfortable during the treatment (possibly only mild irritation to the skin), the provider may offer you Motrin or Tylenol.
Advantages
Pores Appear Smaller
Glycolic acid peels enable the shrinkage of the pores’ appearance. Pores look larger when they are clogged with bacteria and dirt. The glycolic acid peel enables chemicals to penetrate the epidermis and eliminate the dead cells on the skin’s surface. The peel loosens the bacteria and dirt that clog the pores, making them appear smaller.
Improves Acne
Glycolic acid peels are frequently used in the treatment of acne and acne scars. Peels deliver a more powerful dose of glycolic acid than several OTC acne treatments. It targets the problem areas and eliminates layers of bacteria, dirt, and dead skin that can cause breakouts on the face and neck.
Reverses Sun Damage
Prolonged sun exposure can lead to dark spots and discoloration on the skin’s surface. Glycolic acid peels reveal a new skin layer and reduce the appearance of sunspots.
Anti-Aging
Many people view glycolic peels as a treatment for the reduction of wrinkles and other signs of aging. Glycolic acid helps strengthen deep skin layers, which softens fine lines and offers your face a fresh and more youthful appearance.
