FAQ: SKIN PEELS
|
At Arthur Hadley Medicine, we use the GLYTONE® Skin Rejuvenation System, a complete and effective program to bring out the beauty of your skin by rapidly removing the surface layer of dead skin cells. Used together, the GLYTONE® in-office treatment and home-use products produce visible improvements in skin color, tone, and texture, as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. GLYTONE® products can be applied to the face, neck, hands, and chest, and are appropriate for people who are just beginning treatment, have sensitive skin, or would like the benefits of higher strength products without the irritation.
What makes the GLYTONE® peel different?
GLYTONE® facial peels, as well as its home regimen of cleansers, moisturizers and exfoliators, use pure glycolic acid - the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) with the smallest, deepest penetrating molecule. More important, GLYTONE® scientists have developed formulations that deliver glycolic acid with the highest level of "free acid" (the level of AHA available to actually work on the skin) for greater rejuvenating action. That's why the GLYTONE® Skin Rejuvenation System works faster and more effectively than other brands.
What can I expect after my GLYTONE® peel?
After treatment (which usually takes less than half an hour), most patients report that their skin feels softer and smoother, and that they're able to resume their normal activities immediately. Any slight redness that may occur can be covered up with makeup. Some patients may experience slight skin flaking in the few days following the treatment, but it is not necessary to see skin flaking for your peel to be effective.
How often can I have the GLYTONE® peel?
Our office will be able to advise you on the frequency of your GLYTONE® peel treatments. However, many patients have found that a GLYTONE® peel once a month is an effective part of their ongoing skin care regimen.
What can the GLYTONE® system do for my appearance?
GLYTONE® can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while visibly improving your skin's color, tone, and texture. Even after your first peel, you may have smoother, softer skin, and see subtle, yet noticeable, differences in your appearance.
Are there any complications?
Complications with AHA products are infrequent. Be sure to discuss possible risks and provide our office with a full medical history at your initial consultation. Carefully follow any instructions provided to you, and report any persistent redness, irritation, or discomfort immediately.
How can I maintain optimal results?
The GLYTONE® peel is designed to be used as part of a system with GLYTONE® home-use products. Your treatment may begin with the peel to accelerate exfoliation, and then continue with GLYTONE® home-use products and additional peels for best results.
