Choosing the Best Chemical Peel for Your Skin

SkinMedica® Professional Peels

From acne and sun damage to simply getting older, your skin can take a beating as you go through life. But you don’t have to settle for dull, damaged skin.

Chemical peels are a safe and effective cosmetic treatment to re-energize dull, lifeless skin. Peels use a specialized blend of chemicals to exfoliate your skin. They remove the damaged surface layer to reveal the smoother, more even-toned skin below.

Our SkinReMEDI aesthetic specialists use SkinMedica® professional peels, treating all your most bothersome skin imperfections from discoloration to wrinkles. We’re here to help you select from a suite of peels, including the Illuminize Peel®, Rejuvenize Peel™, and Vitalize Peel®.

Light chemical peels

Also called lunchtime peels, light chemical peels are the gentlest on skin. They’re a great place to start, and a light peel could be right for you if you’re bothered by:

• Fine lines
• Acne
• Uneven skin tone

Light peels remove the outermost layer of your skin, called the epidermis, with light exfoliation. You might experience mild redness for up to a week after a light peel, but they’re mild enough that you could get one over your lunch break and return to work afterward.

These chemical peels are gentle enough that you can make them a part of your regular skin care routine. Talk to our aesthetic team to find out more about the benefits of a series of chemical peels.

Medium chemical peels

Medium chemical peels generally use stronger chemicals, exfoliating the epidermis and the upper parts of the dermis below. Your skin could benefit from a medium chemical peel if you have:

• Deeper lines or wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin tone

You may experience more redness, stinging, or flaking with a medium peel, but results are more dramatic than what you achieve with a light peel. Many people notice significantly smoother, more even-toned skin after just one medium chemical peel.

Deep chemical peels

Deep chemical peels are the strongest type of peel. They penetrate deep into your skin to trigger regeneration, and you could be a good candidate for a deep peel if you have:

• Scars
• Severe sun damage
• Pre-cancerous growths
• Deep lines or wrinkles

Deep peels deliver dramatic results that may last for years to come, but recovery can take several weeks. Because deep peels are so strong, it’s recommended that you only get one in your lifetime.
