How long do these minor side effects remain?
As one gets adjusted to treatment, these side effects disappear. If they persist, glycolic acid is too strong.
What are precautions after application of glycolic acid peel?
Once glycolic acid peel has been applied, one needs to avoid sun or wear a sunscreen regularly.
When does one see results?
Well, sometimes never. These peels do not work in everyone and not everyone has the same result. Some individuals only have a mild improvement, and others may have a dramatic improvement. The maximum benefits of glycolic acid peel are usually seen after 8-10 weeks. When skin improvement occurs, the new skin is much younger looking, smooth, and radiant.
Are effects of glycolic acid permanent?
Definitely not. In some cases, the cosmetic benefits only last a few weeks and in others a few months. There is no chemical peel which produces a permanent change in skin cosmesis, unless you have a complication.
Can glycolic acid cause complication?
Sure, anytime you muck round with acids and skin, bad things can happen. There are lots of individuals who will attest to complication of peels; the most common complications include:
- pain
- skin irritation
- scars
- skin discoloration
- infections
