Skin Medica Chemical Peels?

Skin Medica offers 3 levels of peels to address unwanted lines and unwanted pigmentation, brighten the overall appearance of the skin and improve skin texture. The Illuminize peel. This is the gentlest of the 3 peels and a good peel for first time patients. The Vitalize peel. This peel is the medium level peel. It is for mild to moderate skin imperfections. After 1 peel you will notice some improvement in your skin, however, Skin Medica recommends that these peels be done in a series of 3-6 peels to see maximum effect. The Rejuvenize peel: This is the strongest of the peels and is for moderate to severe imperfections. This peel will go deep into the surface layers and will give the most dramatic result. This peel can be repeated every 6-8 weeks. These peels work best if you do them as a series. You should begin to see improvement as you continue to complete a series of peels. If these peels are still not giving you the improvement you want, you might ask your Doctor about a TCA peel. A TCA peel provides an peel deeper than the deepest Skin Medica peel. I am attaching a link to my webpage that gives more information about the TCA peel. The Skin Medica and TCA peels are not for everyone. Make sure that you are having them done by a trained professional who will be able to analyze your skin to determine which type of peel is best for you. 

Peeling is as much an art as it is a science.  Seeing a skin care expert can help determine with peel is best for your specific needs.  Peeling is not limited to just chemical peels as LASER peels can be effective alternatives to hyperpigmentation issues.
