As long as there are no virus infections such as herpes or warts, no wounds, recent surgery or acute eczema, most people can receive fruit acid skin rejuvenation treatment.
Third, the process of fruit acid skin changing is as follows:
After the doctor cleaned the affected area with a special cleaner, he applied high-concentration glycolic acid (20% to 70%) from his forehead, nose, cheeks and chin in turn, sprayed neutralization solution for a few minutes to stop the action of glycolic acid, then used ice cubes to relieve the pain and redness, and then applied nutrition cream. During the treatment, the patient will feel a little tingling, and there will be slight redness and pain within two days after treatment. If there is scab, it will fall off within seven days, and digging is absolutely not allowed. Even if there is no peeling after treatment, it is equally effective. Generally speaking, it takes about eight to ten skin changes to achieve better results. Every time you change your skin for two to four weeks, the concentration and time of using fruit acid will gradually increase.

If there is scab, you can apply the antibiotic ointment prescribed by the doctor three times a day until the scab falls off. Never pick scabbed skin to avoid scar formation.

Changing skin seems simple, but there is a lot to say. Qualified cosmetic surgeons can use the concentration of fruit acid or the depth of laser appropriately, but those plastic surgeons with low medical skills or even without certificates do not have this guarantee. In addition, it is very dangerous to apply fruit acid skin-changing products on the market without the guidance of a doctor. Some people had their skins changed and scalded, so they had to ask a doctor for help. Finally, they spent more money and plastic surgery to restore their original appearance.
