The Glycolic Peel is a safe and painless exfoliation process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. This form of skin rejuvenation uses glycolic acid to remove damaged cells on the top layer of skin. Removal of damaged cells stimulates cell division that results in plumper, healthier young cells.

The Glycolic Peel procedure smoothes and softens the skin, diminishes fine lines, decreases acne outbreaks, evens out coloration and lightens hyperpigmented areas.

When to Have a Glycolic Peel

A glycolic peel is a mild chemical peel that can be performed in a doctor's office.  Various chemicals, in a range of strengths, may be used for peeling procedures depending on your particular skin condition and may vary from case to case.

The Glycolic Peel can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs. The solution is applied to the skin and patients usually note a burning sensation similar to a sunburn after the procedure. As with any exfoliation or resurfacing, it is important to use sunscreens, because the skin is more susceptible to injury by the sun.

Generally, multiple treatments are necessary which is determined by  Dr. Marks
