Recent developments in skin care now enable physicians and skin care specialists to provide patients with results never before thought possible. The combining of certain topical agents like Glycolic Acid in conjuction with other stimulating agents like Retinol and Vitamin C produce outstanding improvements in your skin. A medically-based skin care program, such as one outlined by Dr. Hughes, can provide you with products that produce results medically documented with biopsies proving skin rejuvenation.
A primary component in Dr. Hughes medically-based skin care line in Glycolic Acid. Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and know as an Alpha Hydroxy Acid. In comparison to all other AHA's Glycolic Acid achieves the best results. Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid is the smallest molecule and is able to penetrate the skin more effectively and is the most beneficial to the skin. Glycolic products work best to refine the skins surface, promote new cell growth, and stimulate collagen production.
A licensed aesthetician is available for a skin care evaluation and complimentary Glycolic Peel. During this appointment, a Glycolic Home Care Regime will be designed according to your skin care concerns. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your skin and your options, and also to educate yourself about what products and procedures will benefit you the most!
At Dr. Hughes office we have a Glycolic Peel Program that works extremely well to dramatically improve various skin conditions such as acne, sun damage, or premature aging. We offer a series of peels at different concentrations of Glycolic Acid. Generally, one peel is administered every two weeks. Peels rapidly exfoliate the skin to refine and rejuvenate the skin to a healthier state. The peels and Glycolic Home Care Products work hand-in-hand to prepare and condition the skin for cosmetic surgery and diminish common skin conditions. Your skin can function measurably younger and healthier and appear more polished, refined and rejuvenated.
Once your skin care program is designed, retinoic acid (Retin A) can be added to your program by Dr. Hughes to suppliment your skin care rejuvenation.
