This is a medical treatment that consists on an application, by a specialist, of a chemical substance called glycolic acid, over the cutaneous layer. This has the purpose of renewing the superficial layers of the skin. This changes its aspect and its structure.
Glycolic acid:
Is a natural Alpha-Hydroxy-Acid (AHA) obtained from sugar cain, which presents a perfect tolerance.
It favors the elimination of dead cells from the most external layer of the skin, by diminishing links between them.
This is how new skin appears much younger looking and extraordinarily improving its texture.
Also the glycolic acid acts as an authentic cellular renovator by stimulating the creation of collagen, elastin and other dermis substances, contributing elasticity and flexibility to the skin.
What does glycolic acid superficial peeling consist of?
It consists of a controlled application of glycolic acid on the surface to be treated during a couple minutes, in which the chemical agent can be neutralized.
This process is then inscribed within a treatment program that combines the home use of everyday NeoStrata products with Alpha-Hydroxy-Acid (AHA), and the peelings with applications of glycolic acid, applied by a specialist every day, up to a total of 6 to 10 weeks.
What will I notice after its application?
During the application you will feel a bearable burning and itchy sensation.
After the neutralization you will feel your skin tight and it will be a bit blushed.
These sensations disappear in a brief period of time.
Advantages

Avoid loosing work days and the necessity to give up a normal life after peeling.
Note: Even if the technique appears to be simple, you must not forget the importance of a doctor being the one in charge. |
