We provide a range of professional-strength SkinMedica® chemical peels designed to enhance and revitalize your skin. One of the gentlest methods for improving your facial appearance, a chemical peel works by exfoliating and removing damaged outer layers to smooth your skin’s texture. While typically applied to the face, chemical peels can also be effective for rejuvenating skin on other areas of the body.
About
What to Expect
The days following your chemical peel vary by patient. You may experience anything from minimal microscopic flaking to multiple days of moderate peeling.
SkinMedica Vitalize Chemical Peel
The Vitalize Peel is the most popular SkinMedica® peel that is appropriate for all skin types. This medium strength peel can effectively minimize fine wrinkles and sun damage. It contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to help rejuvenate the skin. Achieve visible improvement after one treatment.
SkinMedica Rejuvenize Chemical Peel
The Rejuvenize Peel is recommended after tolerability to the Vitalize Peel has been established. Patients undergoing this deeper strength peel can expect more dramatic results including tightening of the skin and greater reduction of deeper wrinkles. Consultation required prior to scheduling.
A chemical peel can:
- Reduce the depth of surface lines
- Smooth rough skin texture
- Treat skin discoloration and redness
- Address pigment issues resulting from melasma
- Assist in clearing acne/blemished and post-inflammatory skin
- Minimize photo damage
- Reduce sallowness
- Improve overall skin health
How it Works
Naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and Retinol in the chemical peel product loosen dead cells from the skin’s surface, revealing new, healthy cells.
The result? Smooth, radiant, glowing skin.
The days following your chemical peel vary by patient. You may experience anything from minimal microscopic flaking to multiple days of moderate peeling.
