Glycolic Acid in Phototherapy / LED Treatment Protocols
Glycolic Acid plays a key role in professional phototherapy / led treatment treatments. The smallest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with superior penetration, dissolving the intercellular glue between corneocytes for effective chemical exfoliation.
Role of Glycolic Acid in Phototherapy / LED Treatment
Exposure to specific wavelengths of light (red 630nm, blue 415nm, near-infrared 830nm) to stimulate cellular processes, reduce bacteria, and promote healing Glycolic Acid enhances this treatment through its surface exfoliation and renewal properties, providing exfoliant support during and after the procedure.
Protocol Integration
In a typical phototherapy / led treatment protocol, glycolic acid can be utilised at several stages:
- Pre-treatment: Skin preparation with glycolic acid-containing products to optimise treatment outcomes
- During treatment: Active glycolic acid delivery through the treatment modality for enhanced penetration
- Post-treatment: Recovery support using glycolic acid formulations to accelerate healing
Clinical Benefits
Combining glycolic acid with phototherapy / led treatment offers several advantages:
- Enhanced surface exfoliation and renewal through professional delivery methods
- Improved treatment outcomes with medical-grade exfoliant support
- Reduced downtime and faster recovery when supported by glycolic acid
