Glycolic Peels

Glycolic peels are one of the most effective treatments for achieving brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin. At Speranzi Facial Spa in Verona, NJ, we use professional-grade glycolic acid peels to help you fade dark spots, reduce fine lines, and reveal your skin's natural radiance—all without invasive procedures or downtime.

What is a Glycolic Peel?

A glycolic peel is a type of chemical peel that uses glycolic acid—a naturally derived alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)—to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This gentle yet powerful treatment dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing the fresh, healthy skin underneath while stimulating collagen production for long-term anti-aging benefits.

Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate deeply and work effectively on multiple skin concerns.

What to Expect During Your Glycolic Peel

Your glycolic peel session at Speranzi Facial Spa includes:

Consultation – We assess your skin and discuss your goals

Cleansing – Thorough cleanse to prepare skin

Peel Application – Glycolic acid applied for 3-10 minutes (depending on strength and skin tolerance)

Neutralization – Peel is neutralized and removed

Soothing Treatment – Calming mask or serum to reduce any tingling

Protection – Moisturizer and SPF to protect newly revealed skin

You may feel a mild tingling or warmth during the peel—this is normal. Most clients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. Your skin may appear slightly pink immediately after, but this typically fades within a few hours.

Customized Treatment Strength

At Speranzi Facial Spa, we customize each glycolic peel to your unique skin type, concerns, and tolerance level. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and determine the appropriate concentration and application time to achieve your desired results safely and effectively. Whether you're new to chemical peels or have experience with them, we'll create a treatment plan that delivers visible improvements while respecting your skin's needs.

Glycolic Peel vs. Microdermabrasion:

How does a glycolic peel compare?

Glycolic peels penetrate deeper (chemical exfoliation)

Microdermabrasion is mechanical (physical exfoliation)

Both improve texture

Glycolic Peel vs. At-Home Products:

Faster, more dramatic results

Supervised application for safety

Aftercare Tips

To maximize your glycolic peel results:

Avoid sun exposure for 7 days (your skin is more sensitive)

Wear SPF 30+ daily (non-negotiable!)

Skip retinol and acids for 3-5 days

Keep skin hydrated with gentle moisturizer

No waxing or harsh scrubs for 1 week

Your skin will continue to improve over the following week as cell turnover accelerates and fresh skin emerges.
