What exactly is a Glycolic Peel?

The Glycolic Peel is a safe and painless exfoliation process that removes the very 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 acid that we use at Ambiance Skin and Body is derived from sugar. Glycolic facials smooth and soften the skin, helps with fine lines, may help with acne outbreaks, evens out discoloration and helps to lighten hyper pigmented areas.

How does it feel?

The solution is applied to the skin and patients usually notice a tingling sensation. As with any exfoliation or resurfacing, it is important to use sunscreens, because the skin is more susceptible sun damage by the sun. We also recommend home care with our Alpha H Glycolic Range. 15% glycolic mask is ideal for teenagers experiencing breakouts as well as anyone else that needs a pick me up for their skin. Finish with Balancing Moisturiser 10% Glycolic to soften and smooth. Use twice daily and see the difference a good skincare program can make
