GLYCOLIC PEELS

Glytone rejuvenating peels contain the highest level of "free" glycolic acid for optimal skin rejuvenation. Available in three forms ranging in various strengths from 30% - 70%.

This is a perfect option for patients who do not want to have the commitment of creams and continuous peeling of the skin.

A.K.A. Lunchtime Peels

Glycolic acid chemical peels are in the same family of peels as AHA peels. They can often be referred to as a "lunch time peel" as they can be done quickly with no downtime. Glycolic acid itself is a form of alpha-hydroxy acid and is naturally found in sugarcane, pineapple, grapes and other fruits.

While these peels are generally considered mild, they can be more acidic and therefore stronger. Another variable which can decrease their strength is whether they are neutralized or not. These peels tend to be very effective for acne breakouts as well as some mild rejuvenating affects which last about a month or so.
