When your skin starts to feel dull or uneven, a glycolic peel can help bring back that smooth, radiant glow. This professional resurfacing treatment gently dissolves dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, softer, and more even complexion — perfect for tackling fine lines, dark spots, and texture concerns.
What to Expect During a Glycolic Peel
Every peel begins with a skin analysis to ensure your skin is healthy and ready for exfoliation. After cleansing, the glycolic solution is applied for several minutes to encourage cell turnover. You may feel a light tingling or warmth — that’s normal and fades once the peel is neutralized.
The treatment finishes with soothing and hydrating products to calm and protect your skin barrier. Most clients notice an immediate glow and a smoother texture in the days that follow. Mild dryness or flaking can occur as your skin naturally renews itself.
How Often Should You Book a Glycolic Peel?
For best results, glycolic peels are typically performed every 2–4 weeks in a series of 4–6 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions a few times per year. Consistency helps your skin maintain a healthy renewal cycle and long-lasting brightness.
Why Skin Prep Matters
Prepping your skin before a peel makes all the difference. A proper home routine helps your skin respond evenly to glycolic acid, reducing the risk of irritation and enhancing results. By starting a prep routine two weeks before your first peel, you strengthen and balance your skin — setting the stage for success.
