A Chemical peel is exactly what it says: peeling of the skin using a chemical. A chemical peel removes the outer layers of the skin. This freshens the skin, removes some sunspots and rough scaly patches, and reduces freckles and irregular pigmentation.It also reduces fine wrinkles and used beneficial for acne and some acne scarring.
There is some evidence that it may reduce the risk of skin cancer. It is safest and most effective on the face. Hands can be peeled but the risk of scarring is higher and the results less predictable.
Md. Formulations Glycolic Peel
For twenty years MD Formulations has been at the forefront of skin care treatments and products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids and other specialised ingredients. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) are naturally occurring substances that have been used for centuries to improve the appearance of skin. Of all the AHA's, Glycolic Acid derived from sugar cane, has the greatest ability to penetrate the skin due to its smaller molecular size.
Glycolic Acid has the ability to act as a 'super moisturiser' for the skin. In addition and perhaps more importantly it unglues and dislodges dead skin cells from the outer surface of the skin, leaving the skin fresher and smoother. These properties enable glycolic acid to be used in reducing the signs of sun damage, pigmentation, acne and in growing hairs.
MD Formulations products have been developed in conjunction with a Glycolic Peel treatment formula for beauty therapists and a Physician's peel formula for Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons. These deeply exfoliating treatments decrease the manifestations of sun damage in the skin from fine lines to evening skin tone, reducing discolourations, dryness and scaliness. Clinical studies confirm reduction of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions in acne. MD Formulations products containing Glycolic Acid are completely compatible with Retinova.
MD Formulations Glycolic Peel - what is the process?
Two weeks prior to beginning a course of MD Formulations Glycolic Peels the skin is prepared with corrective products recommended by our skin specialist. Peels can be carried out every one to two weeks and six to eight treatments are recommended.
MD Formulations home care products enhance and prolong the results of the peel during and after the course has been completed. The consistent, everyday use of MD Formulations Total Protector SPF15 or 30 protects the skin and prevents future skin damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays.
