What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are treatments that use special skin-safe acids to remove layers of skin. The peels can be performed for mild, medium and deep skin concerns. We recommend chemical peels for:

• Professional exfoliation and removing dirt and impurities
• Eliminating acne and other blemishes
• Reducing imperfections, such as age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles
• Giving the skin a fresh, youthful appearance

How are Chemical Peels Administered?

Downtown Dermatology offers SkinMedica® Illuminize, Vitalize and Rejuvenize chemical peels.

SkinMedica® Peel

SkinMedica® peels are based on scientific research that have created some of the world’s greatest breakthroughs in skin care. For more than 20 years, the company has developed some of the most innovative products for improving skin health and appearance. Our board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shari Hicks-Graham has chosen SkinMedica® peels because they are safe and effective.

Illuminize Peel®

Our Illuminize Peel® gives your skin a radiant, youthful appearance with no downtime. The peel is recommended for mild imperfections and exfoliation. Most patients only need one treatment.

Vitalize Peel®

The Vitalize Peel® is recommended for mild to moderate skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and rough areas. You see results after one treatment, and optimum results require three to six treatments.

Rejuvenize Peel®

The Rejuvenize Peel® is the most advanced peel in the SkinMedica® line. Dr. Hicks-Graham recommends it for moderate to severe skin concerns, such as fine lines and deeper wrinkles. You’ll see a noticeable difference after one peel, but Dr. Hicks-Graham typically recommends three to skin treatments for best results.

Chemical Peels Procedure Preparation

You should cleanse your skin the morning of the treatment and avoid using any make-up, moisturizers or other products. If you are having a Vitalize Peel® or Rejuvenize Peel®, we recommend that you make arrangements for someone to drive you home after the treatment. You skin will be sensitive, and you may have some minor discomfort.

Chemical Peels Procedure Recovery

The Illuminize Peel® requires no downtime. For the Vitalize Peel® and Rejuvenize Peel® you may have redness and sensitivity for one to three days. Your skin may flake off as well.

How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?

Chemical peels are considered elective by your medical insurance. As such, you are responsible for the cost. Payment can be made by cash, check, major credit card or CareCredit® financing.
