Can Glycolic acid Fix your skin? | Dr Davin Lim

What are glycolic acid peels?
Glycolic acid peels are classed as superficial AHA or alpha hydroxy acid peels. Other types of AHA peels include lactic & mandelic peels. These agents break the bonds between skin cells, which aid in cellular turnover, or chemical exfoliation. By turning over more skin cells, skin becomes brighter & healthier. The result is less pigmentation.

How does this peel work?
Glycolic acid peels work in 2 ways-
Chemical exfoliation of melasma pigmentation.
As a primer for delivery of skin care products such as arbutin, azelaic acid, retinol, ascorbic & tranexamic acids.

What is the recovery process?
This peel has a recovery time of 2- 5 days, depending on the concentration of the peel. Post peeling starts at 48 hours & lasts up to 5 days. During this time makeup can be used, however it does not sit well due to flaky skin. Redness resolves within a week post peel.

Great video! Glycolic peels have helped my skin tremendously. More recently I've been using salicylic acid for a pretty strong, effective peel. I hope you can do a video in the future on layering peels.

I wish I could find a Dermatologist like this in the United States…so far nada…live in Texas, and cant find anyone close to his calibre…have acne scars, all kinds haha…and none treat as aggressively as Dr Lim…can’t find any that are willing to do subcision…sighh…that among other things. I’ve mentioned Dr Lim as TACTFULLY as I can to a few and they always get upset or defensive…if anyone reading this has any recommendations, it would be very much appreciated. Mike G.

what difference have you noticed between the two

[@Vandymas]

The Jessner Peel is like spring cleaning for your skin. This peel works wonders administered by a competent doctor.
