Treat yourself to relaxation while pampering your skin with a glycolic peel in Falls Church, VA. With this procedure, you can drastically improve the overall appearance of your skin’s texture, including fine lines and clarity. A facial glycolic peel is a moderately aggressive facial treatment that is recommended for all skin types. While somewhat aggressive, a glycolic acid peel causes little to no irritation, with only moderate flaking, if any, afterwards. After the peel is done, cosmeceuticals are applied to supplement the skin and assist in correcting specific conditions such as acne, pigmentation, and fine lines.

A glycolic acid peel works by sloughing off the surface and middle layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells and debris. Glycolic acid may even suppress the production of melanin, which can be beneficial for reducing dark spots. Glycolic peels can help to treat many skin conditions, such as:

• Acne
• Acne scars
• Fine lines
• Hyperpigmentation
• Post-sun exposure

It is important to protect your skin after your glycolic peel. A hydrating sunscreen can block your skin from UV light exposure and replenish moisture during the peeling process.
