Client: I have heard there are many skin care benefits to chemical peels and I understand there are different options available, so how do I know which peel is right for me?
Amy: You are absolutely right! Chemical peels can do wonders for your skin, such as reduce fine lines, build collagen and give your skin an illuminating, youthful glow. To know which peel is right for you, it is important to think about what your skincare goals are and how much down time you can take. But don’t let the phrase “down time” scare you, all I am really talking about here is time out of the sun and time to allow your skin to exfoliate, heal and rejuvenate. You are going to have some skin sloughing with most peels, so its best to plan for skin transformation time. This is just nature’s way of renewing your skin. Most procedures take less than an hour to perform, with minimal discomfort during the treatment.
Client: Can you educate me on some of the peels you offer at Belladerm?
Amy: Absolutely. We like to tailor our peels to each clients specific needs, however there are a few basics that apply. For those seeking a more superficial peel, we offer the SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel. It is the lightest peel we offer, which makes it a prefect choice for summer time! The SkinMedica Illuminize peel will tighten and tone your skin. For someone who has never had a peel, this is perfect for you! You can expect quick results and a radiant glow immediately following the treatment. Illuminize peels are perfect for looking luminous for that special summer occasion that is right around the corner, and you don’t have to worry about down time. Your skin will have an increased glow, tightness and an overall more youthful appearance!
Amy: If you are looking for a more dramatic transformation, you may want to consider a more aggressive peel such as SkinMedica® Vitalize Peel. The Vitalize peel is one of our most popular peels. Our clients rave about the results!
Client: Why is the Vitalize Peel so popular?
Amy: The Vitalize Peel is suitable for all skin types, with noticeable results after just one peel. This peel is indicated for patients with mild to moderate skin conditions such as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, and melasma. These are the most common concerns of the clients we see at Belladerm. The benefits you can expect are well tolerated with little downtime. This peel helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pore size, smooths and improves the tone and texture of your skin, which will result in a healthier, more resilient complexion. It also helps improve acne. You will peel approximately 2-5 days following your peel. You will need to protect your skin from sun exposure during that time. You will have noticeable results after just one peel and significant results after three to six peels.
Amy: For a more aggressive solution that will correct more serious skin care conditions, I recommend the SkinMedica® Rejuvenize Peel. It is the deepest of the SkinMedica® Peels. It penetrates deep into the surface layers of the skin to produce significant results with minimal irritation. The Rejuvenize Peel is indicated for people with moderate to severe skin conditions including sun damage, lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring and melasma. Our clients have seen a significant improvement in their skin using this peel. It begins working instantly to reveal fresher, more beautiful skin. It is similar to the Vitalize Peel in that you will peel approximately 2-5 days after your peel. You will need to protect your skin from sun exposure during that time. You will see noticeable improvement after just one peel and significant results after three to six peels.
Amy: We highly encourage you to educate yourself on the many benefits of chemical peels, however, the best way to determine which chemical peel is suitable for your unique skin care needs is to come and see me!
