About Lactic Acid

Lactic acid peels exfoliate your skin's surface and help improve skin cell turnover rates. The removal of skin cells can help encourage the skin's production of natural elastin and collagen. This in turn may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Lactic Acid is a non-irritating, rapid exfoliating acid. Lactic Peels works fast to slough off dead skin cells and Lactic can be more suited to those who prefer a gentler peel or for more sensitive skin types. One of the main ingredients of a lactic acid peel is extracted from sour milk, and unlike other chemical peels, it can help skin with unbalanced pH factors that cause blocked pores and acne. Lactic Acid is recommended for those who are new to peels and exfoliating agents, as well as those that have used other exfoliators for a long period and want to improve results. ¾Those that have used Glycolic peels for a long period of time and wish to boost effective exfoliation will be suprised at how effective Lactic can be at boosting cell turnover - just like when you used Glycolic for the first time! Lactic is excellent for sensitive skin, aging skin, and those suffering from hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid is well known for its hydrating benefits, and will give your skin the smoothing it's needs, without the dryness, dehydration, or sensitivity that can occur with other peel procedures.

Recovery Time

Due to the mild nature of Lactic Acid peels, recovery time is virtually nonexistent. Slight irritation or redness may occur to the skin, but it will not be enough to disrupt normal daily activities, and can usually be covered up with make-up starting the day after the peel has been performed.


Other things to Consider

Because microdermabrasion and chemical peels both deeply exfoliate the skin, they should not be used concurrently. It is recommended that non-professionals consult a physician before deciding to use a chemical peel. Always avoid sun after a chemical peel procedure, and use sunscreen on a daily basis.
