At Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, we offer glycolic acid skin peels that deliver powerful yet gentle exfoliation, revealing smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated skin. Glycolic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane, boasts a small molecular size, allowing it to penetrate deeply and exfoliate effectively. This targeted treatment clears dead skin cells and excess oils, unveiling fresh, youthful skin beneath.
What Is a Glycolic Acid Peel?
A glycolic acid peel is a professional exfoliating treatment that uses glycolic acid to dissolve surface skin cells and encourage rapid cell turnover. Thanks to its unique molecular structure, glycolic acid penetrates deeply, making it ideal for addressing concerns like uneven skin tone, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. When our skincare specialists at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic perform this treatment, it enhances both skin tone and texture, creating a refined glow with minimal downtime.
Key Benefits of Glycolic Acid Peels
- Brightened Skin Tone: these peels effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, melasma, and age spots, helping you achieve a more radiant, even complexion.
- Smoother Texture: Exfoliating dead skin cells leaves your skin looking smoother, softer, and refreshed.
- Reduced Fine Lines: This peel stimulates collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and supports skin elasticity.
- Refined Pores: Unclogging pores helps prevent blackheads, whiteheads, and acne, making it a great option for breakout-prone skin.
- Quick Rejuvenation: Known as “lunchtime peels,” these treatments are convenient and require minimal downtime, so you can get back to your day right away.
How to Prepare for Your Glycolic Acid Peel
To maximize results, avoid exfoliating products, including AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids, at least a week before your appointment. Skipping these products reduces the risk of irritation and enhances the peel’s effectiveness. Our team at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic will also provide personalized advice on pre-peel care, so your skin is fully prepared for the treatment.
What to Expect During and After a Glycolic Acid Peel
When you arrive for your glycolic acid peel treatment at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, your experience starts with a thorough facial cleansing. Next, our skincare specialist applies the glycolic acid solution, which stays on your skin for 2-5 minutes. You may feel a mild tingling as the acid works to exfoliate, but this sensation quickly fades. Afterward, we neutralize the peel and apply a calming moisturizer. Most appointments are quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes.
Following the peel, you may notice mild redness and light peeling over the next few days. Our experts will guide you on aftercare, recommending hydration products and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect and prolong your results.
