Lactic Peel
What is
Lactic Peel?
A lactic
peel is a light chemical peel that is derived from milk. A
lactic peel is one of the most mild and gentle cosmetic
chemical peels available on the market. The peeling process
of a lactic peel is very similar to the actions of a
glycolic peel. These two mild peel alphahydroxy acids (AHA)
can actually be combined to synergistically exfoliate the
skin while reducing the risk of irritation and dryness.
A lactic
peel is an excellent and effective cosmetic chemical peel
option for individuals who seek the enhancement of their
facial skin without the irritation, discomfort, and recovery
time associated with deeper peels. Because a lactic peel is
the most gentle, it is a great option for those with
sensitive skin who are worried about unwanted effects.
Patients with rosacea would also benefit more from a lactic
peel.
Lactic
peel treatments are a safe and effective way to reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even pigmentation,
and treat acne. A lactic peel can also improve the
appearance of sun damaged skin. If you are new to acid
chemical peels, you may wish to speak with a skin care
specialist about the benefits of a lactic peel.
To
achieve the desired results lactic peel treatments are
repeated for a series of five to eight sessions. Maintenance
lactic peel treatments may be recommended as needed. Your
treatment will be designed specifically with your aesthetic
goals and health in mind.
