Glycolic Acid Medical Peel

Glycolic acid exfoliates deeply, reducing fine lines, brightening skin, and improving texture. It promotes cell turnover, minimizes pores, and enhances radiance, making it ideal for smoothing and rejuvenating dull, uneven skin.

How does it work?

Glycolic acid works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily and promoting cell turnover. As a small alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it penetrates deeply to exfoliate, smooth texture, and brighten the skin.

How Is Glycolic Acid Peel Performed?

A glycolic acid peel is a professional exfoliation treatment where glycolic acid is applied to cleansed skin to remove dead cells, improve texture, and brighten. The solution, tailored to your skin’s needs, is left on for a few minutes before being neutralized. Post-treatment, calming products and sunscreen are applied, leaving the skin refreshed, smoother, and radiant.
