A glycolic acid peel is a resurfacing treatment that seeks to address a number of skin concerns. It can treat acne and melasma, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and lighten hyperpigmentation. 

Glycolic acid is a member of the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) family, and is valued for its small molecular size which enables it to penetrate deeply into skin.  

As a keratolytic, glycolic acid can soften and break down the outer layer of skin to deeply exfoliate and dissolve scaly, flaky skin. This action also improves the efficacy of topical agents as they can then absorb more easily into the skin.

This treatment takes 50 mins £80.00
