Are you unhappy with the appearance of your skin?  Are you looking for a solution to aging skin?

It seems that every day we look in the mirror and notice yet another line, another wrinkle, a new dark spot on our face.  What can we do about it?

Chemical peels are an effective way to reduce the signs of aging, brighten and smooth the complexion, and the most popular are Glycolic or Lactic Acid Peels.

What are the benefits of these peels?

Acid peels are used to remove wrinkles, age spots, acne scars and skin damaged by the sun.  They are great for improving both dry and oily skin.

The most popular reason to have a peel is because they can help you have younger-looking skin.  They are commonly referred to as the "lunchtime peel," getting its name because it can be done in a short time without any down time.

Both glycolic and lactic acid are thorough exfoliates, rejuvenating your skin by shedding sun-damaged and aging cells on the skin's surface, leaving behind softer, smoother and healthier skin.

They improve your skin's texture and tone, clean your pores, and can even help with ingrown hairs by preventing skin from growing over the hair opening.

Because of this effectiveness, glycolic and lactic acid is found in many creams, gels and lotions, including some which are used to treat acne.

These acids penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, increasing the rate of dead cell shedding, new skin cell production and collagen formation. The benefits increase with prolonged use, which is why multiple treatments are recommended.

Glycolic and lactic acid peels stimulate your skin's own collagen production.  Collagen is valued because it provides the skin's firmness and volume - something which age steals from us - resulting in sagging and thinning skin.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that is created from sugar cane and has been proven to be a very good exfoliate for the skin.

Lactic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from milk, works quickly to slough off dead skin cells and is very effective at boosting cell turnover.  It carries many of the same properties as Glycolic Acid but is more moisturizing and one of the most mild and gentle cosmetic chemical peels available on the market. 

Lactic Acid is a non-irritating, rapid exfoliate, making it a good option for those with sensitive skin.  Lactic Acid is also great for those who are new to peels or have become tolerant to Glycolic and other peels.

When applied to the skin, these peels penetrate down to the superficial layers of the skin to destroy the bond that keeps dead skin cells grouped together. 

Peels even out the skin’s tone. It does this by eliminating the darker pigment that can be found in the epidermis (top layer) of the skin. They won't prevent the re-occurrence of new darker pigment, which is why repeated peels and diligent use of sunblock are strongly recommended.

When it comes to controlling acne, cleaning out the follicles is a must.  Acne can form when dead cells build up in the follicle.  These peels are effective at removing dead cells and other substances, are able to help remove scars associated with acne by reducing the ridges of these scars - resulting in the appearance very smooth skin.
