What is a Glycolic Peel?
A glycolic peel is a type of chemical peel that utilizes glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It differs from other chemical peels by primarily using glycolic acid as its main component. It is derived from sugar cane, sugar beets, and other substances. It’s used as a medium-strength chemical peel. Glycolic acid has exfoliating properties, effectively removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and improving skin texture and tone.
Benefits of Glycolic Peel
Glycolic peels offer several benefits and have various uses in skincare. These peels contain glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties. Here are some key benefits and uses of glycolic peels:
- Exfoliation: Glycolic peels effectively remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and more even skin texture.
- Skin Rejuvenation: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, glycolic peels help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging. This results in a more youthful appearance.
- Acne Treatment: Glycolic peels unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and minimize acne breakouts.
- Hyperpigmentation Reduction: These peels can fade dark spots, sun damage, and discoloration, revealing a more even skin tone.
- Improved Product Absorption: Glycolic peels enhance the absorption of skincare products. This allows them to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- Skin Brightening: Regularly using glycolic peels can brighten the complexion and restore a healthy, radiant glow.
Consulting with a skincare professional is essential to determine the appropriate concentration and frequency of glycolic peels based on individual skin type and concerns. Professional supervision ensures safe and effective results.
How Does a Glycolic Acid Peel Work?
At our Acne Freedom Clinic, we take a personalized approach to Glycolic acid peel treatments. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:
- Cleansing: We prioritize the cleansing step during the Glycolic acid peel treatment. We understand how important it is to start with a clean canvas, so we use our vitamin C-rich radiance cleansing milk to cleanse your skin thoroughly. This cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup, allowing the Glycolic acid peel to penetrate your skin optimally. By starting with a clean and prepped surface, we can maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and help you achieve the best possible results.
- Microjet: We believe in providing a comprehensive Glycolic acid peel treatment beyond the surface. We incorporate a gentle exfoliation technique using a high-speed microjet spray. This innovative process effectively removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and promotes hydration. Exfoliating the skin reveals a fresher, more radiant complexion with improved texture and clarity. The microjet spray ensures thorough and precise exfoliation, allowing the Glycolic acid to penetrate deeply and work magic. You’ll leave our clinic with refreshed, rejuvenated, and visibly transformed skin.
- LED Mask Therapy: We go the extra mile to ensure optimal patient results. That’s why we offer the option of LED mask therapy as part of our comprehensive Glycolic acid peel treatment. Our state-of-the-art LED masks emit specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen production, promoting skin repair, and reducing inflammation. This additional therapy works synergistically with the Glycolic acid peel to enhance the overall results. By incorporating LED mask therapy, we can help you achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion and maximize the benefits of your Glycolic acid peel treatment. Your skin will thank you for this rejuvenating and transformative experience.
- Extraction & Peel: We understand that everyone has unique skin needs. That’s why we take a personalized approach to the extraction and peel step of the Glycolic acid peel treatment. Our experienced professionals carefully assess your skin type and concerns before applying a customized peel formulated with Glycolic acid. This tailored approach ensures that the Peel targets inflamed oil glands, effectively reducing acne breakouts and fading acne marks. Additionally, the Peel helps improve the overall appearance of your skin, leaving it smoother, clearer, and more radiant. With our customized extraction and Peel, we aim to provide you with the best possible results for your specific skin needs.
By personalizing each Glycolic acid peel treatment step at our Acne Freedom Clinic, we ensure you receive a comprehensive and tailored approach to address your skincare needs.

What to Expect After a Glycolic Peel Treatment?
Our dermat clinic prioritizes your post-treatment care to ensure optimal results and comfortable recovery. Here’s what you can expect and how to care for your skin after a Glycolic Peel treatment:
Mild Redness and Sensitivity: Mild redness and sensitivity are common and temporary side effects that may occur after certain skincare treatments, including Glycolic acid peels. These reactions are a natural skin response and are usually temporary, subsiding within a few hours. They are indicative that the treatment is working and stimulating skin renewal. A soothing moisturizer or cold compress can be applied to alleviate any discomfort. It is essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by the skincare professional to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. If redness or sensitivity persists or becomes severe, it is advisable to contact the clinic for further guidance.
Sun Protection: Sun protection is paramount after skincare treatments such as Glycolic acid peels. The newly treated skin is more susceptible to sun damage, making sunscreen application a crucial step in the post-treatment care routine. Sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF should be applied generously and reapplied as directed. It helps shield the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing further damage and allowing it to heal properly. Additionally, it is advisable to limit sun exposure, especially during peak hours, and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to provide additional defense against the sun’s rays. Prioritizing sun protection helps maintain the treatment results and promotes overall skin health.
Hydration and Moisturization: To maintain optimal skin moisture levels after a Glycolic acid peel, you must incorporate gentle and hydrating skincare products into your routine. Look for moisturizers specifically formulated to soothe and hydrate the skin, helping restore its natural moisture barrier. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides can effectively lock in moisture and promote hydration. Avoid harsh or drying products that further strip the skin of moisture. Additionally, drinking adequate water throughout the day can help keep the skin hydrated from within. You can support healing, promote skin health, and maintain a soft and supple complexion by prioritizing hydration and moisturization.
Results and Maintenance: It is often necessary to undergo multiple sessions to achieve optimal results from Glycolic acid peel treatments. The number of sessions needed can vary depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Maintenance sessions may be recommended after the initial treatment plan to sustain the results and address new skin issues.
In addition to follow-up treatments, maintaining a proper skincare routine is crucial for long-term success. This may include using gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen daily. Your skincare provider can guide you in selecting appropriate products and provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and condition.
By staying consistent with follow-up treatments and a tailored skincare routine, you can maximize the benefits of Glycolic acid peels and enjoy sustained improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
