This is a very simple-to-use, inexpensive 'home program' that will visibly start to rejuvenate your skin within 6 weeks of commencing it. Dr Mayson personally developed the formula many years ago and because it is both complication-free and inexpensive it has proven extremely popular. Moreover, everyone can benefit from it and every type of skin can use it.
Within 6 weeks of commencing the program your skin will be smoother, fresher and more radiant without any peeling or redness. Accordingly, there is no need to take time off work or miss out on social engagements while using it.
Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring 'fruit acid' found in sugar cane and it is one of the few substances that have been proven scientifically by histological studies to have a beneficial effect on the skin. Currently, there is a bewildering array of commercially available Glycolic Acid products on the market. However, many of these are only weakly effective. In contrast, Dr Mayson's Glycolic Acid Program is a prescription-based program that is specifically customised to your skin's requirements. By using a Glycolic formulation that has been specifically tailored for your skin, you will obtain the best possible improvement for your skin. This can be seen starting in as little as 6 weeks of commencing it.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Glycolic Acid basically works in three principal ways:
- It thins and smoothes the 'dead cell layer' at the skin surface but at the same time increases more so the 'live cell layer' with the net result being an overall thicker epidermis. In other words, your skin does not end up "thinner" or more sensitive to the sun.
- It unclogs blocked pores. In this way it is very useful for those with a tendency to whiteheads, blackheads and acne.
- It has been shown that with long-term use, Glycolic Acid stimulates the production of collagen in the deeper skin layers. More collagen means more support for your skin and therefore an increased resistance to future wrinkling.
WHAT CHANGES SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
- Fresher skin
- Smoother skin
- More radiant skin
- Fewer blocked pores
- Improvement of any acne
These changes are usually noticeable within the first 6 weeks. Continuing use of increasing lotion strengths produces even more improvement.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Glycolic Acid must be introduced to your skin slowly in order for the skin to acclimatise to it. For this reason the program involves the issue of prescriptions of
increasing strengths of lotion as determined by Dr Mayson at each of your review visits until you reach the
maintenance strength of 10 or 12%. Usually only three visits are necessary before you reach this maintenance strength. At each visit, Dr Mayson will assess your skin and its degree of improvement and then issue you with your next Glycolic prescription which you have made up at the pharmacy.
Once you have reached the highest strength of Glycolic Acid, usually after 3-4 visits, Dr Mayson will issue you with a maintenance prescription that you only need to renew every twelve months. Long-term use of Glycolic Acid has not been shown to have any adverse effects on the skin - only beneficial ones!
Owing to the way in which this skin rejuvenation program is specifically formulated for each patient, patient feedback is such that they find Dr Mayson's prescription formulas of Glycolic Acid not only much more effective but also less expensive than many of the commercially available preparations.
