Chemical peels are defined as the application of a chemical agent to the skin to achieve exfoliation and collagen regeneration. There are many different types of chemical peels and at Forever Young Laser & Skin Center, we look at a multitude of factors such as skin type, ethnicity, lifestyle, condition being treated, and sensitivities to determine which chemical peel is appropriate for you. Then we will customize a treatment plan that is right for you.

Chemical peels can work for everyone, and the benefits include helping to prevent skin cancer by removing irradiated, sun-exposed skin. Peels can treat acne, sun-damage, brown spots, Rosacea, aging skin, fine lines, skin laxity, rough texture, and scars.

Peels can be used alone or in combination with other modalities. Peels are also affordable, making them a staple in maintenance programs. Done regularly, even light peels will help to prevent the aging effects of the sun.

At Forever Laser & Skin Center, we have several peeling agents available to us. Image Skincare offers a range of enzymes and superficial peeling agents that effectively treat conditions such as acne, pigmentation, and aging skin. Most of Image Skincare’s peeling agents result in no downtime making them a good “first peel” choice.

The NeoStrata Company line of peels is the original glycolic product and has been around a long time. They are effective and reliable. They offer different concentrations to keep the skin stimulated.

SkinMedica Aesthetics family of peels provide something for everyone. Best known for their Vitalize peel, Skin Medica has recently expanded its line to include lighter peels as well.

Vitality Institute Medical Products is a popular peel that uses TCA to exfoliate and Vitamin C to condition the skin. The VI Peel works wonders on acne, pigmentation, and sun damaged skin. A day or two of light to moderate skin flaking is to be expected with this peel.
