What is glycolic acid?

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. It is derived from cane sugar and has the smallest molecules out. Because of this, it is able to easily penetrate the skin.  

What does glycolic acid do?

Glycolic acid reacts with the skin’s top layer and helps dissolve sebum and other substances that bind cells together. It releases and eliminates dead skin cell. Glycolic Acid is a great exfoliator and speeds us cell turnover.  Fine lines and acne scars are often eliminated from products containing glycolic acid.

What will glycolic exfoliation do for the skin?

Glycolic exfoliation effectively removes the dead cells that both sit and accumulate on the surface of your skin. These dead cells lead to dull, discolored, and uneven skin. Glycolic exfoliation therefore removes those dead cells restoring radiant, even-toned skin. Glycolic exfoliation also stimulates the healthy lower layers of your skin, causing them to generate new healthy skin and even produce collagen.


What does Glycolic Acid do to my skin?

Glycolic acid is a great exfoliator and therefore it can;

  • shrink the pores
  • brightens your skin
  • gets rid of mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration)
  • gets rid of acne scar pigmentation
  • increases skin tone 
  • stimulates collagen production

Can I get glycolic acid over the counter?

Yes, you can find low percentage glycolic acid over the counter, but if you want a deeper facial and peeling with reasonable skin response, you will need higher percentage up to 70%.   At NewSkin Laser center we offer highest percentage depending on hour skin type, color and your goals.

Weight loss program with semaglutide, ozempic and wegovy.
By Allen Darush 30 Jan, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, are you tired of feeling like a beached whale on the beach? Are you done with feeling self-conscious about your weight every time you step on the scale? Well, have no fear because Wegovy (Semaglutide) is here!

Wegovy is the latest and greatest weight loss sensation on the market. It's like a magic potion for weight loss, except it's not magic, it's science. Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it works by activating receptors in the body that control appetite and blood sugar levels. In simpler terms, it makes you feel full and reduces the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream. So, you can finally say goodbye to those pesky cravings and hello to a slimmer you!

But wait, there's more! Wegovy not only helps you lose weight but also improves other health conditions related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Imagine being able to fit into those jeans you haven't worn in years AND improve your health at the same time. Talk about a win-win situation!

But before you run to your nearest pharmacy, there are a few things you should know. Wegovy is a prescription medication, which means you'll need to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of the medication before starting treatment. Also, you should know that Wegovy should be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. It's not a magic pill, and you can't just sit on the couch eating pizza and expect to lose weight. But let's be real, who wants to give up pizza anyway?

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room (no pun intended), weight loss can be a long and tedious process. But let's not forget that weight loss is a journey, not a destination. It's important to set realistic goals and to be patient with yourself. Losing weight too quickly can lead to health problems, and the weight may come back just as quickly as it was lost. A healthy rate of weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week. And remember, weight loss is not just about the number on the scale, but also about improving overall health and well-being.

In conclusion, Wegovy (Semaglutide) will help you to lose weight and improve your health. So, don't wait any longer, talk to us at NewSkin Laser Center about Wegovy and start your weight loss journey today!  

P.S: Wegovy is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
