i. Glycolic acid chemical peels:
Glycolic acid is an effective treatment for correcting the skin damage caused by aging, sun exposure, scarring, pigmentation and acne. Medical grade glycolic peels use a higher concentration of glycolic acid, typically ranging from 30% to 70%, to address various skin condition.

The specific regimen of peel is determined during consultation. Based on your skin type and cosmetic goals, we determine the type of medical grade glycolic peel that is needed. The medical grade glycolic peel solution is applied to your skin and remains on your skin for a certain amount of time. This allows the solution to penetrate your skin. The result is seen in first treatment, but additional treatments may be needed for best results. Typically, patients receive three to six treatments every two to three weeks.

Contrary to wrong belief of harmful effects of chemical peeling, when done by experts under supervision gives skin a better rejuvenated look.

The medical grade glycolic peel process takes about 15-20 minutes. Although the results are usually not permanent, maintained improvement can be accomplished by periodic re-treatments..
