Chemical Peels offer so many amazing benefits, though it's easy to be intimidated by them if you've never done one before. I offer chemical peels from two different skincare lines: PCA Skin and Glymed Plus. I will be going over the different chemical peels you can do and the glow ups that can be achieved ♡
We're gonna focus on a few basic peel types: Jessner Peels, TCA Peels, Enzyme Peels and our new Oxygen Peel. These peels can be used to treat acne, diminish hyperpigmentation, improve acne scarring, smooth wrinkles and revive dull skin.
JESSNER'S PEEL
This OG peel mixture consists of a blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol.
Lactic Acid (14%) - an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally found in milk and sugars. It is part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and moisturizes the skin.
Salicylic Acid (14%) - a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps promote clear skin
Resorcinol (14%) - a flaking agent
This peel can be applied to all skin types except for sensitive skin with or without rosacea. It treats Acne, Pigmentation, Clogged Pores and Uneven Texture.
Includes PCA Peel, PCA Peel + Hydroquinone and Glymed Plus Jessner Peel.
TCA PEEL
These peels are formulated with trichloroacetic acid as the main exfoliating agent and can vary in concentration from peel to peel.
PCA Sensi Peel (TCA 6% Lactic Acid 12%) - This peel is suitable for all skin types! And can even be beneficial for those with rosacea. It is gentle but effective at improving surface texture and brightening the skin. A great starter peel.
PCA Ultra Peel (TCA 10% Lactic Acid 20%) - This peel is highly effective for treating aging skin but can also be used to treat acne when combined with a Jessner peel.
Glymed Plus 5 Berry Pigment Control Peel (7% TCA) - Our peel of choice for treating hyperpigmentation! Includes a powerhouse of antioxidants from cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and bearberries.
Enzyme Peel
Don't want to go through any peeling off of skin? Enzyme peels are for you. They'll deliver a powerful glow without having to go through a dry skin or peeling phase. Our PCA Enzyme Treatment is made from Papaya enzymes & Resveratol - an anti-aging agent and antioxidant booster. Our Dermaplane treatment also comes with a gentle enzyme peel containing both papaya and pineapple enzymes. Both treatments are recommended to be done before special events where you want to look your best.
Oxygen Peel
Our brand new Glymed Oxygen Skin Regenerative Peel delivers nutrients to your skin cells to restore balance. Combined with lactic acid, this peel brings youthful life back into dull, hypoxic, acne damaged skin. Gentle enough for your first time peel along with our Sensi Peel.
Will I Actually Peel?
Modern peels don't always cause the skin to peel dramatically. Although generally you can expect:
- Day 1-2: Tight, bright skin
- Day 3-4: Eraser shaving like peeling
-Day 5: Brand New Baby Skin
And there you have it, you're ready for your first peel or your next one! Peels will get you closer to your skin #goals
