Medical Grade Chemical Peels
SkinMedica chemical peels are professional-grade, in-office skin treatments designed to rejuvenate skin, improve texture and tone, and address specific concerns like acne, sun damage, and aging. These peels use a multi-acid approach—including Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Resorcinol, and Mandelic Acid—to gently but effectively exfoliate damaged outer layers and promote collagen production.
Why a Medical Professional (Robynn NP) is Essential for Safety & Results
Because SkinMedica peels are high-strength, medical-grade products, they are not intended for at-home use. Having a skilled nurse practitioner like Robynn NP administer the peel ensures:
Safety & Risk Mitigation: Robynn NP assesses your skin type (Fitzpatrick I-VI) and history to prevent over-treating, reducing the risk of burns or unwanted post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Customization: She determines the right peel depth (light to deep) to meet your specific goals while protecting skin integrity.
Controlled Application & Neutralization: She properly prepares the skin, applies the acids with precision, monitors for sensitivity, and neutralizes the acid at the perfect moment to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness.
Proper Post-Care Advice: She provides tailored post-peel instructions, which are crucial for minimizing downtime and maximizing results.
SkinMedica Peel Levels
Illuminize Peel®: The gentlest, "red carpet" peel, suitable for all skin types, with little to no visible peeling. It provides an instant glow by addressing fine lines, skin radiance, and rough texture.
Vitalize Peel®: The most popular, medium-depth peel, perfect for acne scarring, moderate pigment issues, and sun damage. It involves mild to moderate peeling over 2-3 days.
Rejuvenize Peel™: The strongest, deepest peel, formulated for severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles and advanced photo-damage. It offers dramatic, lasting results.
Results & What to Expect
Results: Visible improvement after one treatment, with significant, transformative results after a series of 3-6 peels (spaced every 3-4 weeks).
Experience: The 30-45 minute process usually causes a slight, temporary tingling or warming sensation.
Recovery: Depending on the strength, you may experience light-to-moderate flaking, which should not be picked or pulled.
