Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, loosens the bonds between superficial dead skin cells. DIVINE Medica selects the treatment by balancing the desired smoothing effect with skin sensitivity.
Treatment Overview
Glycolic acid loosens the bonds between superficial dead skin cells. A professional peel can support a more even skin surface. Concentration and contact time are selected according to skin type, treatment goal and tolerance.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
A dull complexion, rough texture or fine lines may be suitable reasons to consider glycolic acid. Sensitivity and active ingredients already being used influence treatment strength and frequency.
Safety and Tolerability
Peel formulation and strength are selected according to your skin barrier, tendency to develop pigmentation changes and medical history. Temporary peeling may be expected, but chemical burns, infection, herpes reactivation, scarring and persistent pigment changes are possible complications. Personalised preparation and aftercare take these risks into account.
Treatment Process
Rough areas and fine lines are considered in the context of your skin sensitivity. We tailor the plan to the treatments suitable for you and how well your skin tolerates them.
02
Treatment Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for even application. Sensitive areas are protected, and the planned strength takes the current condition of the skin barrier into account.
03
Treatment
Glycolic acid is applied in a controlled way, and the peel is then completed or neutralised according to the treatment protocol. The skin response is monitored during the contact time. Tingling, warmth or burning may occur, and treatment is adjusted accordingly.
04
Review of Results
At the end of the treatment, we assess the immediate skin response. Over around 3–10 days, the complexion may look fresher and the skin smoother. Aftercare and follow-up appointments are tailored accordingly.
Preparation and Aftercare
Before the treatment
Tell us about your use of skincare products with active ingredients, previous acid peels, herpes and medications. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own. Avoid tanning and irritating pre-treatments; discuss any acute skin irritation beforehand.
After the treatment
Freshly peeled skin needs gentle skincare and daily sun protection. Pause other acids, retinoids and mechanical exfoliation as advised. Please report persistent burning or unusual skin changes.
Results
