The Glycolic acid peel has become very popular in the past few years and is available from the Auralia Clinic in Kilkenny.
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid derived from sugar cane and has the smallest molecular structure of the AHA family and therefore can penetrate into the skin much more effectively than other alpha hydroxy acids. It is not absorbed into the body and will not cause any systemic side effects as chemicals used in other peels do.
This gentle glycolic acid peel can be performed with varying percentages of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid loosens the ‘glue like’ attachments, or cellular cement, that is characteristic of many skin conditions such as ageing, 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 six treatments in six to 12 weeks.
The depth of the resurfacing facial peel is controlled by three factors; the concentration of the solution, the length of time it is applied, and the preparation of the skin.
Glycolic acid helps reduce cell ‘build up’ at the lowest levels of the skin. This facial will resurface the skin, giving dramatically softer, smoother texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and reducing acne scarring.
Features and benefits include:
Helps assist to resolve photo-damaged skin, (sun damage ), acne and scar reduction, premature ageing, hyper pigmentation.
Significantly decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen and elastin.
Produces dramatic changes, skin looks brighter and youthful with virtually no redness or recovery period.
Make-up can be applied immediately and normal activities can resume.
This treatment is available at Auralia Clinic on High Street, Kilkenny. For further details contact Catherine today on (056 ) 7786699.
