What Are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and supports healthy skin, and a chemical peel is the most effective way to exfoliate thoroughly. Peels improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and scars, and help prevent breakouts, blackheads and enlarged pores. Every treatment begins with a skin consultation so our specialists can choose the right peel for your concerns and goals.
VI Chemical Peel
The VI Peel by Vitality Institute treats fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, enlarged pores, acne and acne scarring. Its formula combines trichloroacetic acid (TCA), tretinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol and vitamin C. The VI Peel is painless with minimal downtime, safe for all skin types, colors and tones, and can be applied to the face, neck, chest, arms, back and legs. It is also the only chemical peel that safely treats the delicate under-eye area.
ZO Chemical Peel by Dr. Obagi
The ZO peel is one of the most aggressive facial peels we offer, blending 10% TCA, lactic acid and salicylic acid. It removes outer skin layers and stimulates deeper layers to improve cell function, targeting acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, rough texture and dullness. Skin looks softer, smoother and firmer. Recovery is about five days, and this peel must be administered in a licensed medical facility.
Red Carpet Chemical Peel
The Red Carpet peel uses a proprietary blend that targets scarring, acne, wrinkles and discoloration. It lifts the top skin layer while nutritive ingredients penetrate the skin, significantly boosting collagen production to reveal fresher, tighter skin. Results show about one week after a single treatment with minimal downtime, making it ideal before a special event.

SkinMedica clinical-strength peels are not sold online and must be administered by a licensed medical professional under physician supervision.
