Glycolic Acid Chemical Peels

Glycolic Acid Chemical Peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled shedding of damaged skin cells. Each year thousands of chemical peels are performed in the United States. A glycolic acid peel uses a chemical solution applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells.

We use M.D. Forté® for our chemical peel solution because it is unique in that it achieves a healthy balance between concentration and comfort, maximizing the advantages of glycolic acid with minimal irritation. It does this through a process called partial neutralization. Partial neutralization creates a reservoir of glycolic acid molecules that permits both first and second phase penetration. Because the glycolic acid is released over an extended period of time, higher concentrations of acid can be used to achieve maximum results. Importantly, partial neutralization also raises the product pH closer to the pH of normal skin, further reducing the irritation potential to provide maximum efficacy, minimum irritation and beautiful results.

M.D. Forté® chemical peels can help you attain:

• Visibly smoother and softer skin
• Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Increased skin hydration for a softer feel
• A more balanced skin tone
• Improvement in oily or acne-prone skin
