Glycolic Acid Peel
This treatment is a superficial chemical peel as opposed to medium and deep peels, both of which are more caustic. Glycolic acid is found naturally in sugar cane, so it is an organic acid; however, sugar cane is not what is going on your face. Glycolic acid used for peels is created in a lab from chemical reagents (i.e. bubbling carbon monoxide through formaldehyde). Glycolic acid as a peel usually is used in a concentration of 30 percent or greater.
How Glycolic Acid Helps Your Skin Look Younger
The glycolic acid is applied to the skin, and the acid works by “peeling” off the outer layers of the skin so new, fresh skin underneath is uncovered. The acid urges the creation of new elastin and collagen. Elastin and collagen probably are the most important components in youthful skin.
The Benefits of Glycolic Peels
Glycolic acid peels can fade pigmented areas, including freckles and melasma (dark mole-looking spots on the skin, often found in darker-complected individuals). People with hyperpigmentation (a darker area of skin caused by increased melanin) will benefit from the glycolic peel as well; although the effects vary per individual.
The glycolic peel also can improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Deeper wrinkles may be softened from the superficial peel, but either a medium or deep peel will have a greater impact on deep lines.
The glycolic acid peel can be used in areas of sun damage, which may contain pre-cancerous keratoses that can lead to cancer.
Acne scars (depending on their depth and severity) may be diminished by the use of a glycolic acid.
Overall, the skin will benefit from a glycolic peel by revealing brighter, smoother, clearer skin and evening out skin texture and helping excessively oily skin.

DERMALOGICA Pro Power Peel
Our strongest and fastest peel yet, the all-new Pro Power Peel from dermalogica enables us to professionally tailor each treatment to your skin concerns, helping you achieve your healthiest looking skin ever.
Cell turnover slows dramatically as we age. As this happens, it affects the skin’s appearance and texture in a variety of ways. From fine lines and wrinkles to acne and hyperpigmentation, chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to address these changes. But they are not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Despite their varying uses, most peels work the same way: they remove the skin’s outermost layers to stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover, improving skin’s texture and appearance.
Featuring Lactic, Salicylic and Glycolic Acids we now have the flexibility to create a custom peel each time – The peel experience, redefined.
