On glycolic acid and capillary rupture
Modern physicians have studied the nourishment of the skin, and glycolic acid has attracted much attention in the field of skin care. However, its relationship with capillary rupture cannot be ignored.
Glycolic acid is active, can promote exfoliation on the surface of the skin, make the skin rejuvenated, uniform in color and fine in texture. The cover can loosen the connection between the keratinocytes, making the old keratin shed smoothly.
However, if it is used improperly, the disadvantages are also obvious. If the concentration is too high, or the frequency of use is too dense, the skin cannot tolerate it, and the state of the capillaries is easy to change. The capillary wall is thin, and its elasticity and toughness are reduced when it is over-stimulated by glycolic acid. The skin is protected against it, and the capillaries are dilated due to stress. Initially or only the skin turns red, and gradually the fragility of the capillary wall intensifies, eventually rupturing.
Watching the rupture of capillaries, the skin can see filamentous and star-like red silk, which is unsightly, and the skin often feels uncomfortable, itchy or burning. The reason is that although glycolic acid can beautify the skin, it should be applied to a certain extent.
Those who want to use glycolic acid for skin care must predict the characteristics of their own skin. Sensitive and weak skin, especially be careful. When starting to use, it is necessary to use low concentration and less frequency, and then adjust the dosage when the skin adapts. And after applying the medicine, take care of skin moisturizing and protection, make the skin environment soothing, and reduce the risk of capillary irritation.
In general, glycolic acid is used in skin care, like a double-edged sword. Good use of it can enhance its skin beauty effect; misuse of it will cause capillary rupture and other diseases. Therefore, doctors and users should be aware of its nature and know its methods, so as to ensure skin health.
