Light Chemical Peel - A Vitalize peel or any peel that uses salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acid is classified as a light peel, which means that it only penetrates the topmost layer of your skin. A mild peel works best to treat acne, dry skin, uneven skin tone, and other mild skin conditions that require light exfoliation.
Medium Chemical Peel - The Vi peel, TCA peel, and glycolic acid peel penetrate more layers of your skin, though it's just slightly stronger than a light peel in potency. They're particularly effective on wrinkles, scarring, and other discolorations in the skin.
Deep Chemical Peel - Usually done as a phenol peel, the deeper peel of this procedure reaches right to the middle layer of your skin, often requiring anesthetic or painkillers. This is only done to address deep lines and wrinkles, traumatic scarring, or possible cancerous growth deeper inside the skin.
SkinMedica Illuminize Peel - This is a light peel that addresses the visible skin imperfections that result from skin aging and sun exposure, such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture. There is no expected downtime after this peel.
SkinMedica Vitalize Peel - This peel offers a dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone. It also stimulates collagen production, improves pigmentation, acne, and melasma.
SkinMedica Rejuvenize - This is the deepest penetrating peel that aggressively treats sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, fine wrinkles and pigmentary changes. Because of the penetration, clients can experience downtime with peeling.
