Artemedica’s chemical peels are topically applied acids that create a uniform and controlled exfoliation designed to even out skin discoloration while smoothing and brightening the skin.

You may be a good candidate for chemical peels if you suffer from any of the following skin issues:

• Melasma (hyperpigmentation)
• Acne and/or acne scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun-damaged skin and age-spots
• Uneven tone and/or texture

We offer 3 different chemical peels that vary in strength and downtime. It is best to consult with one of our Aestheticians to find out what peel is best for you.

Illuminize Peel

The Illuminize is our gentlest chemical peel. It provides the brightening, tightening, and glow that you desire if you have an upcoming event or just want to reveal the look of more youthful skin. The Illuminize peel combines alpha-hydroxy acids with phytic acid and two of the most common peeling agents: salicylic acid and resorcinol. The combination of these ingredients help to maximize skin rejuvenating effects with little to no irritation. This is a great peel for people who are new to chemical peels or for people who have an event the same day.

Vitalize Peel

The Vitalize is our most popular peel and is suitable for all skin types and conditions, including sun-damage, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, and melasma. In addition to improving skin tone and texture and reducing fine lines, the Vitalize Peel has been clinically proven to reduce pigmentation (such as age spots) and stimulate collagen production. With Vitalize, you’re able to see results in just one peel! The Vitalize Peel® incorporates 3 key ingredients including: lactic acid, resorcinol, and salicylic acid. Treatments performed in a series every 4-6 weeks are recommended for lasting results.

Rejuvenize Peel

The Rejuvenize is our deepest professional-grade chemical peel. Penetrating deep into the surface layers of the skin, this peel treats sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles. This peel delivers brighter, smoother and healthier appearing skin. The key ingredient in this peel is Isoceteth acid which can penetrate deeply within the skin and target moderate to severe problems such as severe pigmentation and acne scarring. Treatments performed every 6-8 weeks are recommended for lasting results.

Following your treatment you will be given instructions to care for your skin at home and recommendations for effective products to maintain the results of your peel. The results will  vary from patient to patient.
