Can alpha hydroxy acids help remove brown spots on my skin?
Alpha hydroxy acids when combined with lightening agents such as hydroquinone and/or kojic acid are extremely effective at removing brown discolorations. How long will it be before I notice a change in my skin? If you are like most people, you will begin to feel a softening of your skin within two to three weeks. It may take several additional months, however, to achieve your best results. What are alpha hydroxy peels? These so-called lunch time peels are performed in a doctor s or esthetician s office using high concentrations of alpha hydroxy acid. Over several days, the top layers of skin cells dry up and peel off, leaving behind smoother-textured and more evenly colored skin. To achieve your best results with these light peels, a series of four to six is recommended.
