Chemical Peels
Revealing Underlying Beauty
Because these peels are medical treatments, you will first have a consultation with an aesthetician who is licensed by the state and continually receiving training to bring you the best care in the business. Based on the evaluation and your skin type, we will select from among the wide variety of peels we offer and recommend the treatment we believe will provide the best results.
Among the peels we offer:
Diamond Peel
A microderm abrasion treatment that uses diamond embedded wands and suction to gently lift and exfoliate, it expedites the natural process of epidermal cell regeneration and improves skin texture and tone. The technique is used to minimize scars and stretch marks, improve sun damaged and aging skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin looking fresh and smooth.
Illuminize Peel
The Illuminize Peel rejuvenates the skin using newer generation alpha-hydroxy acids. This offers a less irritating, non- invasive, chemical peel with little to no downtime. Ideal for sun-damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven complexions; it will improve clarity, color, and skin texture, leaving you with increased skin glow and radiance. Tighten and restore a more youthful appearance with this gentle peel.
Blueberry Smoothie
This luscious, light peel combines the antioxidants of blueberry extracts with a gentle acid that removes dull surface skin—replacing it with a healthy glow and a beautiful fresh complexion. The skin is purified and its natural moisture balance is restored. An excellent treatment for acne, sun damage and dull skin.
Pomegranate Peel
Antioxidants help stimulate the body’s natural renewal systems, and the pomegranate peel, made from the fruit’s extracts, helps stimulate collagen, prevent free radical damage and support the life span of healthy cells. The exfoliation begins working on sun damage, clogged pores, acne and aging skin, and the treatment is ideal for hyperpigmentation issues. Dermaplaning can help maximize the results.
Benefit Peel
An excellent all-around peel, it is suitable for all skin types and conditions.
This peel offers your skin the calming and healing benefits of Vitamin C, with a combination of acidic properties to shrink pore size, get rid of unwanted breakouts, lighten skin pigment, and aid in the reduction of lines. It is effective against acne, rosacea and sun damage, and due to the gentleness of this antioxidant and antibacterial peel, your skin will look great with no downtime.
Glycolic Gel Peel
Prescribed in varying amounts, depending on skin type and condition treated, this acidic peel targets lines and pigment issues. It stimulates the growth of new skin and collagen, and allows dead cells to be removed gradually, leaving behind a layer of smoother, softer skin. The gel makes it mild, but it is very effective on a variety of conditions, including acne, acne scars, sun-damaged, blotchy skin, age spots, loss of elasticity and medical conditions such as eczema and all types of keratosis.
Salicylic Gel Peel
This amazing service is designed for rosacea, clogged and dilated pores, ruddy complexions, and acne-prone skin with pigmented scarring. Salicylic acid moves easily through pores, cleaning them out and reducing blockage and inflammation. Our Vitamin C Firming Mask is applied after the peel for firmness and vitamins, leaving the skin looking smooth and feeling tight.
MicroPeel
This three-step process begins with a dermaplaning exfoliation of the skin’s top layers, followed by an alpha hydroxy acid chemical peel and finally a cooling cryogenic therapy. The glycolic concentration is available in 20% and 30% strengths, or an even more gentle lactic acid for our more sensitive clients. The peel targets lines and wrinkles, pigmentation issues and pores, so it is effective against sun damage and acne, and improves the overall skin texture.
MicroPeel Plus
The “plus” or added step to this peel is the use of a salicylic acid to stimulate cellular turnover, minimize pores and kill the bacteria that causes breakouts. It is a strong peel, but a consultation with a highly qualified aesthetician will determine whether it is appropriate for you.
Glycolics 20%-70%
These glycolics target deep and superficial lines, as well as sun damage, hyperpigmentation and acne. Depending on individualized skin care needs, the strength of glycolic acid concentration, from 20 to 70%, will be recommended.
Vitalize Peel
This treatment from Skin Medica can turn your skin around in 3-6 peels. Utilizing a powerful formula of various, highly effective acids, this peel helps fight the damage (lines and wrinkles) caused by age and sun exposure. Used on all skin tones and complexions, it treats a range pigment changes and irregularities as it improves the skin’s overall appearance. It is truly one of the best on the market for producing younger, healthier skin.
Jessner Peel
A medium-depth peel designed for more extensive damage than the lighter, surface peels, this treatment is made of a blend of several effective acids, including salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol. Designed to help firm the skin, eliminate sun damage, and lessen deep lines and wrinkles, this deeper peel may require minimal downtime.
Blue Peel
This treatment requires at least one cycle of Obagi Nu-Derm to prep the skin. A type of TCA (see below) acid peel, it targets tough pigment, sun damage (such as lines and wrinkles) and superficial scars. Unlike many peels, it is safe and effective on all skin types, including darker skin tones. Clients need to be prepared for peeling and blue skin for 7-14 days, but will have dramatic results at the end of treatment—typically 1-3 peels.
TCA Peel
Trichloracetic Acid Peels are most commonly used for medium-depth peeling, providing deeper penetration than lighter peels. Like the Blue Peel but without the temporary discoloration, the TCA is effective for fine and larger wrinkles, as well as blemishes and pigment problems. It, too, requires 7-14 days of downtime, however, once the peeling has subsided, the skin has practically rebuilt itself, leaving a beautiful, youthful complexion.
