It can be done on the face, neck, hands, back - or anywhere that you'd like to enhance and smooth the skin, but it's mostly done on the face. It's a great preventative AND treatment for acne, fine lines and wrinkles as well as some minor pigmentation issues.
There are several types of chemical peels, and we try to fit the right peel to the patient. The standard peels are done with direct acid solutions of either lactic acid, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid. Of these three, the salicylic is usually the one we recommend for acne-pron patients. All three are good for general rejuvenation and to exfoliate the top layers of skin.
We also offer custom peels by SkinMedica, such as the Illuminize, Vitalize, and Rejuvenize Peel. These are custom mixtures, acid solutions containing several ingredients.
Vitalize Peel helps fight the effects of time, sun damage, and environmental assaults. This powerful yet non-damaging peel can take years off aging skin. There is a peel for all skin types, and these designer skin peels address a number of skin conditions from pigmentation, adult acne, wrinkles, and more.
The SkinMedica peels are quite powerful; as are other types of acids in more standard chemical peels. Therefore, you always want a physician or certified/licensed esthetician to perform this procedure.
From SkinMedica.com: Chemical peels are divided into several categories based on their degree of intensity. The stronger the acids used in a peel, the more injury to the skin occurs. Though they are capable of producing the most skin rejuvenation, deep peels necessitate longer recovery periods and carry a greater risk of complications.
