What does a glycolic peel do to your skin?
Glycolic acid peels slough off the surface and middle layers of skin, removing dead skin cells and debris. Since glycolic acid is made up of small molecules, it readily penetrates skin, removing the lipids that hold dead skin cells together.
How often should you have a glycolic peel?
Glycolic acid peels have a cumulative effect and are recommended once every other week for a total of 8-10 treatments. Once you‘ve completed 8-10 treatments and are seeing good results, a maintenance treatment of one peel a month is all that’s needed.
How does a glycolic acid peel work!?
