How a Glycolic Acid Peel Works

Glycolic acid gently dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together on the surface of your skin. As those cells shed, brighter, smoother skin is revealed, and the skin's natural renewal process is stimulated. Over time and with a treatment series, glycolic acid peels can produce dramatic improvements in complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about glycolic acid peels in Buffalo, NY

A glycolic acid peel is a professional exfoliating treatment that uses glycolic acid — an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane — to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cellular renewal for brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin.

Glycolic acid peels can improve fine lines, uneven skin tone, mild hyperpigmentation, dullness, acne-prone skin, and texture concerns. They help reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion with regular use.

Most patients experience minimal downtime with light flaking or mild redness for a few days, depending on the strength of the peel. Sun protection is essential during the recovery period.

Glycolic acid peels can typically be performed every 4 to 6 weeks. A series of treatments often yields the best results. Your provider will recommend a customized treatment schedule based on your skin.

Glycolic acid is a smaller molecule than many other peel acids, so it can penetrate deeper into the skin. This makes it especially effective for treating fine lines, dullness, and uneven tone while still being safe for most skin types when professionally applied.
