During a 10–15-minute outpatient treatment, the most commonly used concentrated glycolic acid (either 15, 40 or 70 per cent), which is derived from sugar cane as a natural product, is applied evenly to the previously cleansed and degreased area using a brush.
The action of the substance causes disruption (destruction) of the epidermal layer of the skin, resulting in almost immediate peeling and renewal.
After a very short period of application, the peeling mixture is neutralised and removed. To achieve the best results, it is recommended that the treatment be repeated several times at intervals of 2–3 weeks.
