Glycolic acid peels offer versatile solutions for addressing acne, aging, and pigmentation concerns. Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane, is recognized for its exfoliating properties. With the smallest molecular size among AHAs, it penetrates deeply into the skin, rendering it effective for both surface and deeper skin concerns. Benefits of GA peel include:
1. Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
2. Acne Treatment: Unclogs pores, reduces comedones, and may exhibit mild antibacterial effects.
3. Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Fades dark spots, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by accelerating cell turnover.
5. Improved Texture: Smooths rough skin and refines pores.
6. Enhanced Product Absorption: Prepares skin for better pe*******on of serums or moisturizers.
7. Hydration: AHAs attract water, improving skin moisture retention.
Common uses for glycolic acid peels include treating acne and scars, sun damage and age spots, melasma and uneven skin tone, and anti-aging routines.
Peels can be applied at home (5–15%) for mild exfoliation or professionally (20–70%) for deeper treatments.
After treatment there is increased sun sensitivity, temporary redness , skin dryness and exfoliation so extra care is required to protect the skin.
The GA peel is contraindicated in active infections, eczema, or open wounds.

What's the optimal age for Botox in men and women to achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance? While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, starting treatments as a preventative measure can yield the best results. For women, this often means beginning in their late 20s to early 30s, when the first signs of aging start to appear. Men, on the other hand, may benefit from starting in their early 30s to 40s, thanks to their thicker skin and slower wrinkle formation. What are the key factors to consider when deciding if Botox is right for you? Genetics, lifestyle, and muscle strength all play a role. By consulting with a provider and focusing on timing treatments to target dynamic wrinkles, you can unlock a smoother, more radiant complexion. Consistency with sunscreen and skincare can further enhance your results, empowering you to take control of your aging journey.

The skin is a reflection of overall health, and mental stress plays a significant role in skin health.
Managing stress is crucial for maintaining healthy skin.
If you're experiencing skin problems that you believe are related to stress, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional.
It's important to remember that everyone reacts to stress differently, and the effects on the skin can vary.
The relationship between mental stress and skin health is complex and well-documented. Here's a breakdown of how stress can affect your skin:
How Stress Impacts Skin:
Hormonal Changes:
Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol. Cortisol can increase oil production, leading to acne breakouts.
It can also disrupt the skin's barrier function, making it more susceptible to irritation and inflammation.
Inflammation:
Stress contributes to increased inflammation throughout the body, which can exacerbate existing skin conditions like:
Acne
Eczema
Psoriasis
Rosacea
Weakened Immune System:
Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making the skin more vulnerable to infections and slowing down wound healing.
Behavioral Changes:
People under stress may engage in behaviors that harm their skin, such as:
Scratching or picking at their skin.
Neglecting their skincare routine.
Poor dietary choices.
Lack of sleep.
Impact on existing skin conditions:
Stress can cause flare ups of skin conditions that a person may already have.
If you are feeling such symptoms and signs book free consultation with Dr. Najma Jamil at Avalon Medical Clinic. At AMC you can get medical and aesthetic advice under one roof
