What is an AHA peel?
The AHA, or alphahydroxy acid, peel is the mildest of the chemical peels and may use glycolic, lactic or fruit acids to produce a brighter and smoother skin appearance. AHA can also be used as part of a daily skin care regime by mixing it into a facial wash or cream in lesser concentrations. AHA peels can treat rough, dry or sun-damaged skin and can help to control acne. Multiple peels may be necessary in order to achieve the best results.
