Reveal brighter, smoother skin with customizable chemical peels from PCA® and SkinMedica®, designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health with little to no downtime.
At Allied Medical Aesthetics, we offer medical-grade chemical peels from PCA Skin® and SkinMedica®. These professional-grade treatments use safe, effective ingredients to exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover. SkinMedica® peels, such as the Illuminize, Vitalize, and Rejuvenize peels, are especially effective for addressing mild to moderate skin imperfections and are suitable for various skin types. Whether you’re targeting acne, discoloration, or signs of aging, we’ll help you choose the right peel for visible, lasting results.
A chemical peel uses a safe solution to gently remove layers of damaged skin, revealing a fresher, healthier layer underneath. This encourages new cell growth and collagen production, helping your skin look smoother and more even. Chemical peels can reduce fine lines, scars, sun damage, uneven tone, acne, and large pores. They come in different strengths, from light peels that refresh the surface to deeper peels that target more significant concerns, and are chosen based on your skin type and goals.
Stop Active Topicals and Chemical Exfoliants (1 Week Prior): Pause retinoids (tretinoin, Retin-A, retinol), AHAs (glycolic, lactic), BHAs (salicylic), benzoyl peroxide, and harsh physical scrubs. These thin the outer stratum corneum, which can cause the peel solution to penetrate too deeply and lead to chemical burns, scarring, or irregular frosting.
Halt Facial Hair Removal and Exfoliating Treatments (1 Week Prior): Avoid waxing, dermaplaning, laser hair removal, electrolosis, and depilatory creams on the area to be treated. These disrupt the skin's surface barrier and can make the peel solution sting intensely or penetrate unpredictably.
