i would like a peel that causes the skin to peel off. Tried skinmedica peel 2 years ago and the skin was glowing and smooth after i peeled, but then i had the worst closed comedone breakout. Any other peel that can give similar results minus the breakouts?

Answer: Peels There are three levels of skin Medica peels (Illuminize, Vitalize and Rejuvenize). Each of these peels will peel you at a different intensity. Therefore, you may want to consider going to the next level of the skin medica peels if you would like a deeper peel. It may be the post care ointments and creams that you used after your last peel that caused you to get clogged up as well. Deeper peels to consider would be a TCA or Jessner solution. It would be best to meet with your dermatologist to determine the peel that is best for you and the results you are trying to achieve.

Answer: Which peel to chose Hello, and thank you for your question! It is difficult to choose the perfect peel for you without a picture - since in our practice we choose our peels based on a patient's individual skin type and concerns (such as pigment vs acne, etc.). Generally speaking, the SkinMedica peels are modified Jessner's solution - which is a very nice peel for people who are more on the oily/acneis side, or for those who struggle with pigment. If your main concern is acne, a 30% salicylate peel can be a good choice. If you want a deeper peel, and are mainly interested in skin tone/quality, a 40% glycolic may be what you are looking for. Keep in mind, however, that acne flares after peels are common no matter what peel solution you chose. Discuss your goals with the provider who is going to preform your peel to help you pick the right one for you. Good luck, and I hope that helps!
