Glycolic Acid in Dermaplaning Protocols
Glycolic Acid plays a key role in professional dermaplaning 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 Dermaplaning
Manual exfoliation using a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, creating a smooth canvas for product absorption 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 dermaplaning 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 dermaplaning 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
