A member asked:

Is the no.7 glycolic acid peel helpful for the skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: All acid peels are designed to create a second degree burn, which helps with fine wrinkles. All peels should be done by a physician with experience. Some chemical peels are easy to perform, some require proper timing and removal.
