What is a Chemical Peel, and Which One is Right for Me?
The term “chemical peel” can sound intimidating at first, but regularly removing dead skin cells and blemishes is crucial to healthy skin maintenance. There are plenty of chemical peel options on the market these days, but not all peels are created equally and picking the right one for your skin so that you can achieve the best possible results is the most important part of the process. At It’s A Secret Med Spa, we offer peel options from Skinbetter and SkinMedica.
Skinbetter’s AlphaRet Professional Peel 30
Skinbetter’s AlphaRet Professional Peel 30 is a more robust peel, designed for patients with mild photodamaged skin, blemishes, and early signs of skin aging. It is appropriate for all skin types. In a clinical study conducted, 100% of patients said their skin texture was smoother looking and their pores were less visible after treatment. In that same study, 92% of patients reported that after only one peel, they saw an overall improvement in the appearance and condition of their skin’s texture, brightness, and tone.
SkinMedica’s Illuminize Peel
On the opposite end of the spectrum is SkinMedica’s Illuminize peel. Its gentle naturemakes it ideal for patients receiving a chemical peel treatment for the first time, those with mild skin imperfections, or simply anyone looking for brighter, more radiant skin. The best part about this peel is that clients will see no visible peeling, and there is no downtime involved.
