CHEMICAL PEELS
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. Achemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
GLYCOLIC PEEL
Glycolic acid peels are a chemical peel that features glycolic acid as the main component. Glycolic acid is currently a popular treatment for winkles and acne. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove the “glue” that holds the older, rougher and dryer skin on the surface. When it removes that top layer of skin, the fresh, new layer is visible. It’s this layer that’s without damage and which looks fresher.
SALICYLIC PEEL
Salicylic acid is also found in chemical peels. When used a chemical peel, salicylic acid is successful at reducing fine lines and wrinkles and diminishing the look of whiteheads and blackheads and is helpful at making the skin look more toned and even.
LACTIC ACID PEEL
One of the gentlest chemical peels is a lactic acid peel. Unlike a glycolic acid peel or a salicylic acid peel, a lactic acid peel is extra gentle and good for even the most sensitive skin.
