Why To Choose Glycolic Acid Peel Treatment?

The alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) produce dramatic changes in when used in a controlled and smart way. The AHAs rejuvenates the sun damaged, blemished and aged skin by encouraging skin exfoliation. One of the well-known AHA that is used extensively in skin care products is glycolic acid. It is extracted from sugar cane.

Glycolic acid face peel is highly effective for treating various skin issues including fine lines, wrinkles, brown marks and actinic keratosis. It may also improve the acne prone skin.

 

Why glycolic acid peel works well?

As glycolic acid belongs to the AHA family, it has the smallest molecules in the group which allows better and deep penetration into the skin. This makes it highly effective for the treatment of acne, fine lines, blackheads, acne prone skin, oily skin etc.

• Use glycolic acid in lower concentrations (7%-10%) on a regular basis. It gives similar results to that of peel with higher concentrations but in an easier and safer way.
   
• When used in higher concentrations as in glycolic acid face peel, it can give highly efficacious results, if done by an expert and experienced practitioner or dermatologist.

 How the glycolic acid face peel works?

With the gradual passage of time and exposure to the sun, the process of shedding of dead skin cells slows down. This result in the accumulation of the layer of dead skin cells which takes away skin’s lustre and gives an aged appearance. The glycolic acid when applied on the skin, loosen the bond that sticks the surface cells together which allows the dead skin cells to peel off from the skin surface. The skin which appears from beneath is healthy, shiny with more even skin tone and texture.

When glycolic acid is used in higher concentrations in a chemical skin peel, it affects the deep skin layers resulting in regeneration of collagen and elastin which firms the skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

 

Benefits of Glycolic acid peel

The glycolic acid face peel offers multiple benefits for your skin which include the following:

• Exfoliates skin in a remarkable and even manner

• It releases as well as dissolves the dead skin cells which help in clearing the clogged pores and remove blackheads.
   
• It is a highly effective acne treatment especially for cystic acne caused due to the deep pores blockage by sebum and dead skin cells.
   
• It significantly improves the signs of ageing and treats sun damaged skin by increasing the turnover of new skin cells.
   
• Consistent use of glycolic acid face peel helps in improving the acne scars and lesions in the skin.
   
• The results of the glycolic face peel treatment keep on improving with successive treatments.
   
• It improves the penetration of other products in the skin because it removes the barrier caused by dead skin cells and dirt on the skin surface.
   
• It helps in minimising the size of skin pores while helping the nearby cells to regain elasticity.

If you choose to have glycolic face peel treatment with higher concentrations of acid then you should get it from professional and experienced dermatologist or skin specialist otherwise it can cause harm to your skin.
