At Health + Glow, light, chemical peels are one of our most popular procedures. Chemical peels are an extremely effective non-surgical treatment to peel away the skin’s top layer to improve the appearance of a wide variety of skin imperfections.
At Health + Glow, we offer three different peel options:
The Illuminize Peel by SkinMedica helps you achieve a more youthful, glowing complexion with minimal interruption to your busy lifestyle. The Illuminize Peel is a light peel and is perfect for mild skin imperfections.
The Vitalize Peel by SkinMedica is a medium-depth peel that helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also addresses hyperpigmentation, sun damage and minor scarring. Since the Vitalize Peel is deeper, it requires more downtime than the Illuminize Peel.
The Rejuvenate Peel by SkinMedica is a deep peel used to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Most patients see noticeable improvements after just one peel. The results continue to get better with each peel, with most patients seeing compelling results after three to six peels.
There are many different types of chemical peels designed to address a wide range of issues, so some kind of peel can benefit most people. An experienced provider can recommend an acid solution with the strength and depth best suited to your concerns and skin type.
A 2018 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology examined the safety of superficial chemical peels for Fitzpatrick skin types III–IV and found that fewer than 4% of treatments resulted in complications.
However, chemical peel selection can be limited for some skin types.
