What Chemical Peels Can Do for Your Skin

At Source Medical Aesthetics we love to provide our patients with a good chemical peel! Our patients love this treatment because when it’s done, they can see and feel the difference it makes for their skin.

Different types of chemical peels have been around for a long time- and we mean a long time! Technically the first known example of a peel was done by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt. Her skincare was more basic than what we have now though; she used sour milk to exfoliate her skin. We’ve developed much better techniques since then and our aestheticians are putting them to use everyday!

So what exactly does a chemical peel do for your face and how does it work?

Sometimes it’s hard to see, but under the layers of dead skin cells, dry skin, and skin clogged up from other elements, there's actually a way to reinvigorate and bring back a healthy, glowing face.

A chemical peel is a non-invasive treatment that is made with active chemical exfoliants that help restore skin surface and appearance. Peels effectively speed up the process of cellular turnover by shedding the top layer of dead surface cells, revealing brighter, smoother and renewed skin underneath.

Consider how much the skin on your face is damaged on a daily basis:

Sun Damage
Environment Damage
Lack of Hydration
Sweat that clogs up pores

Not to mention aging, acne, skin conditions, and many other factors. It’s easy to see how our skin can start to look dull and lose its glow, or how our texture starts to appear more rough and not as healthy as it could be. Chemical peels are here to help!

At Source Medical Aesthetics, our aestheticians are experts when it comes to applying chemical peels to our patients. They also know which kind of peel will work best for your specific skin type. When you visit us, your aesthetician will provide you with an assessment of your current skin condition and from there create your custom treatment plan. Since we know everyone is different, we offer a variety of peels to choose from:

Perfect Peel:

The Perfect Peel is a blend of minerals, vitamins and acids which contain anti-aging properties that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles along with hyperpigmentation, sun damage and melasma. It can also aid in controlling acne and diminishing the look of existing acne scars. The entire peel process will take about a week to complete but will provide you with significant improvement in the overall tone, texture, and clarity of your skin!

Glytone Peels:

Glytone has a number of peels that will target a variety of skin concerns and offer transformative results. Whether used for signs of aging, acne, hyperpigmentation or redness, these peels will deliver optimal outcomes with less surface trauma. There are options for the face, hands, back & chest, neck and eyes - all of which will help remove damaged skin cells and leave you with brighter, smoother, and renewed skin!

Skin Focus Melanage Peel:

The Melanage Peel is designed to improve skin texture and rejuvenate its appearance. It is suitable for all skin types and works to lighten hyperpigmentation including acne scars, sun spots and melasma. This peel provides significant results without burning or injuring the skin and will help you to achieve a more even, healthy and glowing complexion!

Skin Focus Actinage Peel:

Is your skin prone to acne? The Actinage Peel might be exactly what you need. It will help to prevent acne and stop the skin from producing too much oil. This peel does so by utilizing a unique blend of Vitamin A in combination with natural Salicylic, Mandelic, and Azelaic acids to exfoliate dead skin cells, purge congestion from pores, and shrink oil glands. A series of treatments will provide you with the best results and will leave your skin looking smooth and clear!

The chemical peels at Source Medical Aesthetics will take about an hour to complete and we will provide a detailed aftercare plan to ensure your skin stays protected and the results last.
