This facial will resurface the skin, providing dramatically softer, smoother texture; reducing fine lines and wrinkles and scaring.

Glycolic acid helps reduce the "build up" at the lower levels of the skin. There is no recovery time: immediately after the treatment you can apply make-up and continue with your day.

A gentle glycolic acid peel can be performed with varying percentages of glycolic acid, a substance derived from sugar cane. Glycolic acid loosens the glue-like attachments or cellular cement that is characteristic of many skin conditions such as ageing, acne, skin discolouration and coarse texture. After just a few weeks your skin looks brighter, clearer and dry skin becomes hydrated and smooth. Recommended amount of treatments are 6 treatments in 6-12 weeks.

The depth of the resurfacing peel is controlled by three factors:

The concentration of the solution
The length of time it is applied,
The preparation of the skin.

It is therefore important to appreciate that all individuals who wish to have glycolic peels must be on a home care programme, using glycolic acid based products for at least two weeks prior to the first peel and also during the course of peels.
