Glycolic acid peels, also known as fruit peels or alpha-hydroxy acid peels, give skin a smoother, younger-looking appearance. Glycolic acid peels (GAPs) are most effective when done as a series of 4-6 treatments about 3-4 weeks apart. They require a shorter recuperative period than is needed for other chemical peels. Other chemical peel options include the slightly stronger beta-hydroxy acid peel (salicylic acid), which is excellent for oily, acne-prone, or more photo-damaged skin. The stronger trichloracetic acid peels are infrequently used because of the longer downtime required for healing.
My appointment with Dr. Treiber went very well. She was polite and very knowledgeable, both myself and my son had appointments. She was amazing in dealing with his eczema and prescribed him something that finally made him stop scratching! Much appreciated!
