Glycolic Acid Peels

Glycolic acid refers to a group of naturally occurring substances called
"fruit acids". When applied to the skin it destroys the "glue" that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. This allows the dead cells to slough off, leaving behind a smoother skin surface.

A high concentration of glycolic acid removes a portion of the upper layer of the skin (called the epidermis) exposing the lower layer of undamaged skin. It is used to remove black head lesions and improve mild wrinkles.
