SkinMedical Chemical Peels
SkinMedica chemical peels are professional-grade treatments that use a blend of acids (e.g., alpha-hydroxy acids [AHAs] like glycolic and lactic acid, beta-hydroxy acids [BHAs] like salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid [TCA]) to exfoliate the skin by removing dead cells from the surface and stimulating cellular turnover. They are designed to address specific skin concerns such as aging, hyperpigmentation, acne, and uneven texture. SkinMedica offers a range of peels, including the Illuminize Peel, Vitalize Peel, and Rejuvenize Peel, each varying in strength to suit different skin types and goals.
These peels are applied in a medical spa or clinical setting by trained professionals to ensure safety and efficacy.
