Glycolic peels are suitable for most people, even those without a specific concern and what's more you don't need to have any downtime.
Chemical peels produce controlled injury to the skin, which promote growth of new skin and improved appearance
The first thing it does is exfoliate away the tough, dull, dead layer of skin, it also manages to penetrate through that layer and actually rejuvenate and regenerate the skin cells underneath which is helpful for fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and blemishes.
Chemical peeling agents that perform mild or moderate peels typically provide a safer peel that has less associated long-term side effects.
The safest method to start skin peels is to build tolerance from a lowpercentage peel such as 10% then increasing the peel strength over a safe period. As with all safe treatments time is key.
Building tolerance allows your clients skins pH to become custom to the acidic nature to the peels over time. This is the safest method to start skin peel treatments.
The skin tolerance building method consists of a treatment plan that is spread over 7 — 8 weeks which will enable you to build from 10% to 15% and then to the final stage of the tolerance peel treatment plan to 20%.
Once tolerance has been correctly built, you will then be able to assess whether your treatment at 20% is sufficient or whether you need to further increase strengths in order for your client to gain further improved results.
Glycolic acid - Glycolic Acid with the Skin DNA peel. This peel will effectively exfoliate dirt and actively dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin build up and in return reveal a healthy glow. This active Glycolic skin peel will slough away dead skin and target dull, congested and mature skin whilst visibly improving firmness and reveal radiance over time whilst at the same time targeting common skin problems such as (but not limited to) fine lines, post acne scarring, acne and blackheads. Reveal brighter, firmer and more youthful looking skin.
Glycolic Acid is an Alpha hydroxy acid which performs at the base of the stratum corneum (the top layers of your skin), dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.
At the same time Glycolic Acid also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free; when this starts to disintegrate, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Replacing the collagen your skin has lost with age can help diminish crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines, and vertical lines around the lips.
Which are all perfect for the treatment of fine lines, dullness and uneven skin tone. All of these peels can be very gentle.
Acid peels have been around for ages, they're one of the most tried and tested ways to improve your skin health.
