How Do Chemical Peels in NYC Work?
Chemical peels are known as chemical exfoliants and work by gently removing the top layer of our outer most layer of skin, the stratum corneum. This “extra” ad unwanted layer of our skin is often times what contains the evidence of free radicals/oxidation, photo/sun/UV damage as well as debris and toxins from our environment. By using chemical exfoliants to remove this layer we can allow a healthier layer of your skin to take its place; revealing a brighter, smoother, and renewed surface.
More specifically, Glytone utilizes the patented Enerpeel technologies along with Precision Free Acid Value™(PFAV™). Precision Free Acid Value™ demonstrates the amount of bioavailable Glycolic Acid in a formula, delivering optimal levels to moisturize, exfoliate, smooth and polish skin. The benefits of PFAV™ include:
- Delivers more free Glycolic Acid to the skin to achieve a higher efficacy.
- Allows skin to have a customized system with varying strengths of AHA.
- Provides rapid, visible, and predictable results
What Can I Expect During a Chemical Peel Treatment in New York City?
Each peel procedure takes around 20 minutes depending on the type of peel and number of layers applied. During the procedure, a mild tingling, itching, or heating sensation may be temporarily experienced.
After the procedure, your skin may feel tight and some flaking and peeling may occur. This is normal and should not be cause for concern. All peel procedures increase the skin’s sensitivity to heat so it’s best to try avoid being in the sun while recovering to help ensure optimal results.
