AHA Chemical Peels: Unveiling Smoother, Brighter Skin (with a Focus on Glymed)

AHA chemical peels are a popular cosmetic procedure that can help to improve the appearance of your skin. They work by exfoliating the top layer of skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
What are AHAs?
AHAs stand for alpha hydroxy acids. They are a group of naturally occurring acids found in fruits and plants. Some common AHAs used in chemical peels include:

• Glycolic acid: Derived from sugarcane.
• Lactic acid: Derived from milk.
• Malic acid: Derived from apples.
• Tartaric acid: Derived from grapes.

How do AHA Peels Work?
AHA peels work by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off. This process can help to:

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation 1 (dark spots)  ​​
• Minimize the appearance of acne scars
• Unclog pores

​Glymed Plus: A Leading Name in AHA Peels
Glymed Plus is a well-respected brand in the skincare industry, known for its high-quality and effective products. Their AHA peels are formulated with a blend of AHAs, often including glycolic and lactic acids, to provide gentle yet effective exfoliation.
What to Expect During a Glymed AHA Peel

• Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared for the peel.
• Application: The AHA solution will be applied to your skin for a specific amount of time, depending on the strength of the peel.
