Peels
A Skin Medica chemical peel is a minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that exfoliates dead or dull skin. Skin Medica chemical peels are appropriate for people of all ages, skin types, and skin colors. They remove the damaged outer layer of the skin so that a fresh, new layer of skin cells can emerge. Benefits of getting a chemical peel include the reduction of pore size, hyperpigmentation, scarring, fine lines, acne, and keratoses
Skin Medica chemical peels offer more dramatic results than topical treatments, but take less time to perform than laser procedures. They offer a variety of benefits, depending on the combination of peeling agents that is used. At LMAesthetics, we offer three types of Skin Medica chemical peels:
Illuminize
The Illuminize Peel is a mild, superficial peel that causes little to no flaking of the skin. This gentle peel is the ideal choice for younger patients, first-time chemical peel patients, and patients who desire a treatment that causes minimal downtime and discomfort. The benefits of getting an Illuminize Peel include improved skin clarity, texture, and tone. The Illimunize Peel restores a more youthful appearance.
Vitalize
The Vitalize Peel causes mild to moderate peeling of the skin, comparable to a sun burn. It takes years off of your appearance by fighting the signs of aging caused by environmental assaults and sun damage. The Vitalize Peel achieves visible improvement after a single treatment and significant improvement after multiple treatments. It causes little to no downtime and is ideal for pigmented or acne-prone skin. Skin conditions that it addresses include photodamage, melasma, and pigmentation abnormalities.
Rejuvenize
The Rejuvenize Peel causes heavy peeling for two to five days. It is effective in treating severe acne and pigmentation changes. The Rejuvenize Peel is appropriate for chemical peel veterans, but it is not recommended for first-time chemical peel patients or patients with darker skin types, unless approved by an MD. The Rejuvenize Peel is made with an advanced formulation of peeling agents, as well as a built-in anti-irritant and penetration enhancer. It exfoliates the uppermost layers of the skin in order to reveal the fresher, healthier skin that's beneath. The Rejuvenize Peel also contains a synthetic surfactant that reduces skin irritation without minimizing the peeling effect.
