What Are
Chemical Peel Treatments?
A chemical peel is a chemical skin resurfacing and exfoliating technique that selectively removes the top layer of the skin. When the chemical solution “peels off” the outer layers of the skin, the new skin that grows is brighter and smoother. At Essential Aesthetics, we offer different chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on your skin concerns.
Types of
SkinMedica Peels We Offer
We offer the following peels:
Illuminize Peel
The gentlest of the peels, Illuminize is best for your first experience. The treatment will remove minor skin imperfections, leaving you with brighter skin — and no downtime.
Vitalize Peel
Appropriate for all skin types, Vitalize improves pigmentation and smooths away signs of aging, including melasma. A series of treatments yield the best result.
Rejuvenize Peel
Once your skin has become tolerant of the Vitalize peel, the Rejuvenize formulation can go deeper to improve wrinkles and fine lines, uneven tone or texture, and acne scarring.

Active skin disease or infection

Are Chemical Peel
Results Permanent?
Since your skin continues to age and change, chemical peel results are temporary. It is important to continue maintenance sessions after completing your series of treatments. The number of maintenance sessions needed depends on the strength of the chemical peel you have received.
It is important to continue with the recommended skincare regimen after your treatments in order to maintain the best results.
Your
Experience
At Essential Aesthetics, we customize your chemical peel treatment to make sure we precisely treat your specific concerns. Your consultation is a good opportunity to learn exactly what to expect so that you can plan your treatment day accordingly. Depending on your goals, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended.
During your appointment, PA Ellie Zarnegar, DMSc, prepares the peel and lightly brushes it on your skin, layer by layer, before removing it. Depending on the strength of the chemical peel, your skin may physically slough off over the next few days, or you may simply see an improved complexion.
