Who is eligible for glycol peeling?
The most important advantage of this chemical peel is that it is suitable for all types of skin. Glycolic peeling is useful and swarthy elastic skin, and delicate skin with creepers, which constantly burns. It is worth knowing that glycolic acid acts on the skin very gently, touching only the uppermost epidermal layer of the skin. Depending on the situation, it is better to try not soft, but more deep and aggressive glycol peeling, which acts on the lower layers of the skin. For example, if a woman is over 50 and her face is covered with age spots and shadows, this procedure will not give a 100% result and will not save her from these unpleasant moments on her face. But to level the skin tone, make pigment and age spots less visible, and glycol peeling will lighten the freckles.
Glycolic acid: the essence of youth
Glycolic acid is produced and mined with cane sugar, so it is considered the most famous representative of the alpha hydroxy acid of fruit acids. Most often this acid can be found in peeling, because it is harmless and very effective. In the composition of products for skin care, the concentration of glycolic acid often does not exceed 10%. But with chemical peeling used much more concentrate, from forty-five to eighty percent. Naturally, the more acid, the better the effect of the procedure.
Like other fruit acids, glycolic acid prickling penetrates the skin, removes dead skin cells and reveals new ones, so the skin is smoothed and softened. Due to this, peeling helps to fight with bold wrinkles, as well as with other first manifestations of aging. In addition, glycolic acid is useful in the pigmentation of the skin, for the treatment of acne and its effects.
In addition, cosmetologists say that glycolic acid helps the skin to produce protein and collagen, due to which it becomes elastic and elastic. Namely, the deficiency of collagen causes the skin to age. Glycolic peeling accelerates the cell cycle - the cage of skin passes from the deep layers on the surface and exfoliates faster. For youth and skin health is very important.
How much procedure of glycol peeling is needed to achieve the effect?
Surely you yourself understand that everything depends on the complexity of the task that needs to be solved - to refresh the skin and impart elasticity or to fight with signs of old age. If you are still young, then it is necessary to go through 1 "cutaneous cycle", which will be 6 weeks, so you remove the dead skin and enjoy the beauty. And if you need to remove the acne, post-acne, wrinkles, tone and completely renew the skin, then you need 2 or even 3 cycles, and this is 12 or 18 weeks. More than 18 weeks of peeling is not recommended, because it is stress for the skin, and we need to update it, and not grow old. How often should I do the procedure? Once a week - dvenedeli. The most important thing to remember is that we will proceed to the next procedure only when the scaling is over after the first, but not earlier than eight days.
How to prepare the skin for glycolic peeling?
There are only three ways: ideal, alternative and compromise.
Ideal way. Two weeks before the peeling you need to pay a visit to the cosmetologist, get professional preparations to prepare for peeling in-house conditions and post-peel restoration. The specialist should conduct skin diagnostics and individually select a cleansing, day cream and a nocturnal with such a percentage of acidity that fits your skin. If you prepare by this method, then peeling can begin to do immediately with 70% acid to get the maximum effect. Already when you are preparing for peeling, the skin will get better, and the result after peeling will remain for a longer time.
An alternative way. Here gradually it is necessary to increase the percentage of glycolic acid and to reach 70% in the 4-5 procedure. Thus, you will lose your time with unnecessary ineffective procedures. This method is perfect for people who just want to refresh their skin. But post-peeling restorative drugs still need to be purchased. At 90% the result of peeling will depend on how you will take care of the skin after it.
Compromise way. At once it is necessary to apply 70% glycolic acid, but for a short time and with each time it increases. This method is for those people who are not afraid of extermination, redness and extreme. It is better to apply this option only to those who already know what acid peeling is. Post-peeling drugs are so necessary.
How is glycol peeling performed?
The procedure is really absolutely safe, very simple and does not take much time. Before applying the composition to the skin, it is cleaned with a special lotion, sometimes acetone is used to degrease the skin. To make glycolic piliganezii not needed, because you will not feel any pain, only a small discomfort (a slight burning sensation when applying acid on the skin). When the skin is cleaned, the master proceeds directly to the procedure itself and applies a chemical peel, starting from the forehead and ending with the chin, by applying a replicator.
The last stage of the procedure is the removal of acid: the skin is wiped with a damp towel or with simple cold water.
After peeling a few days on the face there may be a slight redness. In addition, dry skin may occur, but with this, moisturizing creams will easily repair. When you complete a full cycle of procedures, you need to constantly use sunscreen, because chemicals make the skin more vulnerable to sunburn.

With what procedures to combine glycol peeling, to achieve the best result?
It is best to do moisturizing procedures in addition to peeling, because peeling the skin dries and it needs moisture. Especially it concerns the weakened skin which needs to be fed up and to calm down during peeling. If your skin is more hardy, then you can combine mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. And if your skin is prone to allergies, then combine mesotherapy and peeling in one procedure.
