If you’re looking for a treatment that’s more powerful than an at-home skincare routine, but you’re not quite ready for laser resurfacing, why not try chemical peels? SkinMedica® chemical peels use medical-grade skincare ingredients to remove dead skin, improve skin cell turnover, treat signs of aging, and even stimulate collagen production. As a result, they can help your complexion appear more uniform and renewed, taking years off your appearance.

Explore the options below to find your perfect match:
Illuminize Peel: Gentle

SkinMedica’s Illuminize chemical peel is our most gentle treatment and perfect for first-time patients or those with sensitive skin. It’s so gentle, you won’t even experience visible peeling! It provides a brightening, tightening, and refreshed glow.
This superficial peel treatment uses a novel approach to chemical peels with alpha-hydroxy acids combined with phytic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to maximize results with little irritation. The Illuminize helps reveal vibrant, radiant-looking skin that is more even both in tone and texture.
Plus, because this treatment has little to no visible peeling or downtime, you can even have it done the same day as a major event or occasion.
Vitalize Peel: Medium

The Vitalize chemical peel is the most popular peel from the SkinMedica line and is ideal for all skin types. It improves sun damage, fine lines, acne, acne scarring, and melasma, with mild peeling and a smoother, brighter complexion.
Vitalize peels use three powerful ingredients: lactic acid, resorcinol, and salicylic acid, to treat wrinkles and fine lines caused by sun damage and aging, as well as hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture caused by acne scarring and melasma. This chemical peel also stimulates collagen production deep in the skin, so your results get even better with time.
Because the Vitalize chemical peel is more powerful than the Illuminize, you will experience some peeling and redness afterwards. This should last no longer than 7 days. During this time, you will want to limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and avoid irritating skin care products.
Rejuvenate Peel: Strongest

The Rejuvenate chemical peel is SkinMedica’s deepest chemical peel, designed to smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture. It penetrates deep into the skin to treat sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and other moderate to severe imperfections.
The Rejuvenate chemical peel uses an advanced combination of peeling agents, including: lactic acid, salicylic acid, resorcinol, and a high concentration of retinol. This treatment is best suited for those with moderate to severe skin imperfections like serious sun damage, severe melasma and hyperpigmentation, as well as deep-set wrinkles.
Because this is our most powerful chemical peel, you should expect some downtime and recovery. Peeling and redness may last up to 2 weeks. During recovery, you will want to limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and avoid irritating skin care products.
