Medi-Spa at Mercy: Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Skinceuticals Gel Peels combine scientifically proven ingredients in a unique gel delivery system at the highest acid concentrations and lowest pH allowable. By accelerating the cell renewal process, stimulating collagen synthesis and improving elastin fibers in the dermis. These light chemical peels revitalize photodamaged and sensitive skin, help improve problematic skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These peels are recommended for use in a series of sessions and as a companion treatment for IPL or microdermabrasion.

Light chemical peels have the benefit of not causing the patient any down time and irritation. They can achieve the same results as a stronger peel, but will have to be applied in series. Depending on the condition to be treated and skin type, weekly applications are recommended. A series of six peels will achieve a significant skin improvement.

Glycolic/Lactic Peel - Normal to dry skin
Salicylic Mandelic Gel Peel - Oily skin
Vitalize Peel® - Normal, dry, oily, combination, aging and sensitive skin
Rejuvenize Peel
Illuminize Peel™- Normal, dry, oily, combination, aging and sensitive skin

Glycolic/Lactic Peel - Normal to Dry Skin

Glycolic and lactic acid combine to work synergistically, exfoliating the skin while reducing irritation and dryness. Because of glycolic acid’s molecular structure, it penetrates quicker and deeper than other AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) to perform at all levels of the skin. Lactic acid is an effective, yet gentle, AHA that increases moisture levels by stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans. By accelerating the cell renewal process, stimulating collagen synthesis, and improving elastin fibers in the dermis. This light chemical peel revitalizes photodamaged skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The peel is appropriate for serial applications and as a companion treatment for microdermabrasion or IPL (intense pulsed light).

Salicylic Mandelic Gel Peel - Oily Skin

Salicyclic and mandelic acid combine to work synergistically exfoliating the skin while decongesting pores and reducing irritation. Although one of the strongest AHAs, mandelic acid’s large molecular structure and even penetration help prevent inflammation and irritation that can sometimes occur with AHA use. Salicylic acid is a lipid soluble BHA (Betahydroxy Acid) that penetrates pores to dissolve sebum and cellular debris. By accelerating the cell renewal process, stimulating collagen synthesis, and improving elastin fibers in the dermis, this light chemical peel revitalizes sensitive skin and helps improve the appearance of problematic skin. The peel is appropriate for serial applications and as a companion treatment for microdermabrasion or IPL (intense pulsed light).
