GLYCOLIC ACID PEELS

• This peel is perfect for perking up rough, dull or mildly sun damaged skin
• Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid derived from sugar cane
• It works via subtle exfoliation and stimulation of skin turn over
• The peel takes about 20 minutes and is repeated 4 to 6 times a few weeks apart
• There can be mild stinging during the procedure and some short lived mild redness. Post treatment peeling is uncommon

SALICYLIC ACID PEELS

• Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxyl acid, derived from the bark of the willow tree
• It has a high affinity for oils, making it particularly helpful in acne patients, especially if blackheads are a problem
• It is also helpful in freshening up dull or mildly sun damaged skin
• The peel takes about 20 minutes and is repeated 4 to 6 times a few weeks apart
• There can be mild stinging during the procedure and some short lived mild redness. Fine peeling can occasionally occur a few days later

VITALIZE PEEL
