Glycolic acid can be good
for removal of dead cells
Safe
*: i
One of the
latest break-
throughs in the
cosmetic treat-
ment of aging
skin are al-
phahydroxy
acids. These are
a family of
JOI adds that are
MAIRET extracted from
Remede Body n£^ sources,
and Skin spa The>' rangP
from the more
commonly recognized, naturally
occurring AHA's, inducting glycol-
ic; lactic; and citric adds, to less
familiar examples, like tartaric and
malic adds, to synthetic AHA's not
normally found in nature, such as
hydroxyoctanoic add.
The two most popular are lactic
and glycolic adds. These unique
adds have the ability to remove and
loosen cells (exfoliate) helping to
make the surface of the skin look
more even, smoother and less dull.
Glycolic add is derived horn
sugar cane. It gently dissolves foe
intercellular cement that holds the
old, dead, dehydrated cells on the
surface of the skin.
By reducing the amount of cell
buildup, wrinkles appear less
noticeable.
It also helps to dear away debris
from pore openings, making extrac-
tion and other dogged pore or acne
treatments easier; and it encourages
cell turnover which helps to im-
prove the moisture content of the
surface skin.
Glycolic add helps other skin
problems induding acne, dry body
skin, foot and hand callouses, hy-
perpigmentation and the appear-
ance of aging skin, so it basically
can help all skin types.
The typical concentration of gly-
colic add used in salon treatment is
between 10 and 30 percent. Higher
strengths are usually used only by
dermatologists.
The treatments for in-salon use
are once a week for six weeks. An at
home regimen should be followed
during the treatments as well.
Glycolic add often produces a
mild to moderate tingling sensation
when applied to foe skin. Usually
foe tingling feeling lasts only 10-20
seconds.
When a client first starts using
glycolic add, some slight cosmetic
side effects might be experienced.
to case of dry or aging skin, there
may be 9ome flaking, which can be
misunderstood for dehydration.
But, this is the dead cell layer
owning off foe surface, it is a normal
occurrence, and can be controlled
by using foe appropriate products
along with a glycolic add cream.
Treatment of acnetc skin with
glycolic can also result in greater
outbreak at first because of foe
sloughing of skin only to have an
end result of smoother; less acneic
problems. This is another reason
why the “surrounding" products
are so important
Daily use of a good SPF facial
sunscreen is always important
although, during a glycolic treat-
ment extra precaution should be
taken due to any chemical peel
leaving skin photosensitive.
Darker pigmented skin can be
peeled but not in the same manner
as lighter skin.
If good skin care has been main-
tained, then it is unlikely to need a
chemical peel or wrinkle treatment.
When it does, it is not a result of sun
damage but genes or lifestyle.
Pigmented skin not only looks
different, it is different The histolo-
gy, physiology, biochemistry and
response to photochemical reactions
are different.
These distinguishing characteris-
tics are not to be taken lightly. A
physician who practices and deals
with black skin should be sought if
an individual believes a profession-
al peel is needed.
A licensed esthetic professional
can choose the best percentage of
glycolic to use for a person's skin, as
well as choose a product regimen
that will give the results wanted.
The goal is to uncover a younger;
plumper; less problematic, more
youthful skin with minimal to none
of the potential irritating side effects.

campaign statewide
Duncanville dermatologist
earns certificate of service
Bill V. Way, D.O., a Duncan-
ville dermatologist, has received a
certificate for his 14 years of ser-
vice in the House of Delegates of
the Texas Osteopathic Medical
Association.
Way also serves as TOMA vice
president and is a member of the
TOMA Board of Trustees and the
executive committee.
In addition, he is member of
the Public information and Pub-
lications Committee and the
Membership, Services and Pro-
fessional Development Commit-
tee.
The award was presented dur-
ing TOMA's 100th Annual Con-
vention and Scientific Seminar,
held June 17-20 at the Hotel Inter-
Continental in Dallas.
The House of Delegates is the
policy-making body of the more
than 2,00 member association
headquartered in the historic
Barholomcw-Robinson Building
in Austin.
During the convention, Rod-
ney M. Wiseman, D.O., of White-
house, was installed as the
TOMA president for 1999-2000.
He succeeds Nelda Cunniff-
Isenberg, D.O., of Burleson.
Founded in 1900, the Texas
Osteopathic Medical Association
is the statewide organization
serving Texas' osteopathic physi-
cians who, in turn, serve the
health care needs of Texas citi-
June 15th the Texas Depart-
ment of Protective and Regula-
tory Services launched a state-
wide media campaign for the
Texas Runaway Hotline aimed at
runaways, troubled youth, and
their families, according to hot-
line director, Jay Smith.
Smith said the campaign
includes television, radio and bill-
board ads directed toward indi-
viduals who may be in need of
the Texas Runaway Hotline's free
crisis intervention and telephone
counseling services.
A confidential message service
is also available to promote com-
munication between runaways
and their parents.
“In Texas, more than 100,tXX)
children ages 7 to 17 run away
annually," Smith said.
"Whether they are in large
cities or small towns, runaway
youths are vulnerable to a wide
variety of crimes including as-
sault and sexual exploitation.
“Many contact the hotline to
find food, shelter or simply to
hear a caring voice."
The hotline was established 25
years ago after police discovered
the remains of 27 young men and
boys who had been brutally tor-
tured and killed.
Since many of the victims were
runaways, the governor of Texas
initiated a service that allowed
runaways to leave confidential
messages for parents who feared
their children were among the
dead.
To date, the hotline has re-
ceived more than one million
calls.
“Texas Runaway Hotline staff
and volunteers are continually
working with other youth related
services to keep as many teens as
possible safe and off the streets,"
Smith said.
He urges troubled youth and
families to call the hotline's toll-
free number, 1-888-580-HELP
(4357), or visit their Web site at
www.txrunaway.org.
