Glycolic Peel

Claude Thomas Salon offers our clients the benefits of the Glycolic Peel. This facial treatment will resurface the skin giving dramatic softer, smoother skin while also reducing fine lines, wrinkles and scarring.

Glycolic Acid is derived from sugar cane and has the smallest molecular structure of the AHA family and therefore can penetrate into the skin much more effectively than any other Alpha Hydroxy Acids.

It is not absorbed into the body and will not cause any systemic side effects like chemicals used in other peels.

How does it work ?

The Glycolic Acid helps reduce the cell "build up" at the lower levels of the skin.

This has a profound effect on the skin by reversing the abnormal cellular attachments caused by sun damage and aging.

Glycolic acid has shown to produce increased amounts of collagen in the skin.

This facial treatment will resurface the skin giving dramatic softer, smoother skin while also reducing fine lines, wrinkles and scarring.

It improves acne scarring, treats acne, skin discoloration and refines the coarse texture of the skin.

After just a few weeks your skin looks brighter, clearer and dry skin becomes re-hydrated and smooth.

Rx System Physician Formula

Rx Systems Facial Peels are formulated to take advantage of the unique properties of Glycolic acid. These treatments are only offered through physician offices or a few select salons after an initial consultation and training by a RX Systems trained professional. The treatment is customized according to the individuals age, skin type, extent of sun damage and the natural aging process. In combination with our RX Systems home care product line and RX Systems Glycolic treatments dramatic and significant results will be obtained.

The recommended treatments are 4 to 6 treatments within a six to twelve week span of time. The treatment takes approximately 20 minutes to 30 minutes.

The depth of the resurfacing facial peel is controlled by three factors; the concentration of the glycolic acid, the length of time it is applied and the preparation of the skin. It is therefore important to appreciate that all individuals who wish to receive this treatment should be on the home care program using the Glycolic acid based products during the coarse of the treatments and after the treatments are done. This will ensure the best results.
