Vitalize Skin Medica Peel
🌟 What It Is
The SkinMedica Vitalize Peel is a professional in-office chemical peel designed to gently exfoliate the skin using a blend of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids and other active ingredients to remove dead skin cells and encourage skin renewal.
🎯 Who It’s For
It’s great for people with mild to moderate skin concerns, including:
• Uneven skin tone or dullness
• Fine lines and early wrinkles
• Sun damage & brown spots
• Acne and acne scarring
• Texture irregularities and uneven complexion
• Pigment irregularities (like melasma)
🧪 How It Works
The peel uses a combination of exfoliating agents (including salicylic acid, lactic acid, resorcinol, and retinoic acid) to break down and slough away the outermost layers of dead skin cells. This stimulates cell turnover and can help improve overall texture, tone, and clarity.
⏱️ Treatment + Downtime
• The treatment itself is usually quick—typically ~30 minutes.
• Many people see noticeable improvement after just one session, though a series of 3–6 peels, spaced a few weeks apart, is often recommended for the best results.
• There’s minimal downtime, but mild to moderate peeling usually begins within 2–3 days and can last about 2–5 days.
💡 What to Expect
• You might feel a mild tingling or warmth during the peel.
• Skin may peel mildly, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath.
• Sun protection is essential afterward because new skin is more sensitive.
🌞 Results
With proper post-care and sun protection, you can expect a brighter, more refined look and improved skin texture that builds with each session.
Rejuvenize Skin Medica Peel
✨ What It Is
The SkinMedica Rejuvenize Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel performed by a licensed aesthetic provider. It uses a combination of potent acids to deeply exfoliate the skin and accelerate cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
🎯 Who It’s Best For
This peel is ideal if you’re looking to address:
-
Fine lines and deeper wrinkles
-
Sun damage / age spots
-
Uneven texture or rough skin
-
Dull, lackluster complexion
-
Mild acne scarring
-
Pigment irregularities
It’s a step up from lighter peels (like the Vitalize Peel) and delivers more noticeable results.
🧪 How It Works
The peel contains a blend of exfoliating ingredients such as:
-
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) – promotes deeper exfoliation
-
Lactic Acid – gently sheds dead skin
-
Other acids that enhance cell turnover
Together these break down damaged outer skin layers and stimulate regeneration of healthier skin.
📆 Treatment + Downtime
• Duration: ~30–45 minutes
• Peeling: Pronounced peeling commonly begins 48–72 hours after treatment and can last 3–7+ days
• Downtime: Because it’s stronger, expect noticeable flaking and shedding — you may want to plan around social/work events
Compared to lighter peels, Rejuvenize has:
✔️ Stronger results
❗ More visible peeling
✔️ Better for moderate signs of aging
💡 What to Expect During & After
➡️ During the peel you may feel warm or tingling — this is normal.
➡️ Over the next several days, the skin will peel in noticeable sheets or flakes.
➡️ After peeling completes, your skin should look smoother and brighter.
🌟 Results
With good aftercare and a series of treatments (often recommended), the Rejuvenize Peel can significantly improve:
-
Skin texture
-
Fine lines
-
Glow and clarity
-
Sun damage signs
Results build over time and can be extended with proper maintenance.
