The Real Deal about Glycolic Peels: from the desk of Regina

The use of glycolic acid peel is not new by any means.  People of ancient times used very similar methods to rejuvenate their skin. With the use of this sugar-based acid, the old and damaged top layer of skin is removed to reveal the fresh layer underneath.  When this dull top layer is removed, many skin damages are corrected.

As we mature, the rate at which old skin cells are replaced by new, healthier ones slows down dramatically.  This leaves a layer of dead cells sitting on top of our skin.  It is this layer that causes our skin to appear dull and discolored.  It also makes wrinkles and lines appear deeper and sun spots more noticeable.

Well, since I'm sure none of us want to appear wrinkly and spotted; I mean leopard print is in but not on your face!

The question is "What can we do?"

The answer: glycolic peels!

Glycolic acid peels are used to remove the superficial, damaged top layer of skin.  When the damaged skin is removed, the new layer that takes its place is healthier, fresher, and has a more even texture and color.  As one becomes more accustomed to this type of skin care regimen, the concentration of the acid can be increased, allowing the peel to work deeper into the skin and encouraging the natural production of collagen and elastin in the cells.  This will make deeper lines in the face become less visible over time.

When looking at the benefits of glycolic acid peels, the results are very encouraging.
  • Healthy and glowing skin surfaces
  • Less acne
  • Reduction to dark spots and wrinkles

These treatments have been used by skin care experts all over the world due to the great benefits offered with little to no side effects. 

So change your skin care regimen!  Call today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Martini and see what glycolic peels can do for you!
