What is fruit acid resurfacing? Skin resurfacing, as the name implies, is skin renewal – peeling off the ugly shell of skin, called resurfacing (rejuvenating the skin) in aesthetic medicine, which uses some kind of intervention to form skin damage and initiate a trauma healing mechanism that can controllably cause the skin to rebuild and become smoother and whiter. Fruit acid rejuvenation is one of these procedures. This makes sense, right? What are fruit acids? Fruit acids are glycolic acid, grape acid, malic acid, citrus acid and lactic acid (you know the origin of these acids from their names). The smallest molecular weight is called glycolic acid, which is more abundant in sugar cane; slightly larger than it is lactic acid, for example, the sourness of yogurt comes from it. And other fruit acids have a larger molecular weight. Generally, the smaller the molecular weight, the better the permeability, so glycolic acid and lactic acid are used most often. What are the effects of fruit acids on the skin? (1) small molecular weight of fruit acids, easily absorbed by the skin. It can increase the water content of all layers of the skin and exert moisturizing properties. (2) Reduce the accumulation of keratin, regulate the process of keratin formation, and accelerate the metabolic rate of epidermal cells. (6) improve the superficial dermal capillaries to expand skin circulation and improve overall skin quality. What treatments and aesthetics can fruit acids be used for? The following conditions are commonly used clinically: treatment of acne, dull skin, dark nose, chloasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation, rough skin (large pores), periorbicular keratosis (chicken skin) and superficial actinic keratosis. In conclusion: moisturizing, whitening, spot removal, anti-acne, rejuvenation and anti-aging. You deserve it!
