Common misconceptions about fruit acids Q&AQ1: Are fruit acids corrosive A1: This is a very serious misconception. Although higher concentrations of fruit acids have the effect of receding the old and renewing, they are definitely not corrosive, and instantly the concentration of fruit acids up to 95% will not cause corrosive damage to the skin. In fact, the so-called corrosive means that the skin proteins are denatured, that is, they lose their biological activity. Q2: Does fruit acid make the skin thinner? A2: Professional fruit acid resurfacing treatment is a controlled superficial revitalization program that effectively loosens and removes the excessive accumulation of old keratin in the epidermis, rather than peeling the epidermis. It is clinically proven that after Corestratum’s Fruit Acid Revitalization treatment, it can simultaneously stimulate the renewal of epidermal cells, increase the thickness of the epidermis and enhance the production of collagen fibers and mucopolysaccharides in the dermis, thus increasing the overall thickness of the skin.Q3: Can fruit acids make the skin more sensitive?A3: Fruit acids do not cause skin irritation, they may only cause irritative skin reactions. This is because antigens or non-antigens must be large molecules, and fruit acids have very small molecular weights and do not have the conditions to constitute antigens. Q4: Can fruit acid resurfacing be combined with other medical aesthetic procedures? A4: Yes. It is generally recommended to combine Fruit Acid + Intense Pulsed Light to treat acne or melasma. The specific steps are: alternate fruit acid/intense pulsed light intervals of 2-4 weeks. Out-of-town patients wishing to reduce the number of treatments can also have both programs performed at the same time.
