Alpha-Hydroxy Acids or AHA's are group of acids found naturally in some fruits and other nutrients. Among them Glycolic acid has been used more widlely in pharmaceutical skin products for its ability to trigger skin regeneration and cell turnover, that is also beneficail in treatment of acne scar. Glycolic acid is naturally found in sugar cane. Glycolid acid effect on the epidermis is a denser and thicker layer. As a result the skin would be more smooth. Skin exfoliation is the main effect of alpha hydroxy acids on epidermis layer. Removal of the outermost layer of the skin stimulates the cells in lower layers to grow and divide, causing the skin to thicken and thus diminishing visible signs of aging. More exfoliation is associated with more cell divisions in the lower skin layers.Unlike most other acids which are too drying to the skin, glycolic acid allows skin to keeps its barrier and increase its moisture retention ability. There are evidences of increase in collagen production following use of this fruit acid on skin for a period of afew months. This compound is very well tolerated by different types of skin and even the most sensitive skin can enjoy its benefits. Use of a sunscreen is a must for anyone who uses AHA products with concentration more than 8%.
The solution actually lifts away the rough uppermost layers of the skin and allows the healthy underlying skin to regenerate. The peel freshens, brightens and smoothens the skin. It also flattens the acne scar and helps with scar removal. Deep acne scar may not benefit from any type of chemical peeling. Types of acne scar are also important in determining the efficacy of a different treatment. During the peeling a hot sensation followed by tingling is experienced. After a peeling a reaction similar to a sunburn occurs. This involves redness, followed by scaling that ends within two to three days.
