Glycolic Peels


Glycolic Acid is a naturally occurring substance, made from sugar cane. It is supposed to be the “secret weapon” that gave Cleopatra her beautiful skin thousands of years ago. The treatments are typically performed on the face, neck or hands. During a treatment, glycolic acid is carefully applied to the skin to remove the outer layer and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
