Facials & Peels

Facials are no downtime, customized skincare treatments designed to maintain or improve skin by using targeted ingredients to cleanse, moisturize, improve tone and texture, and clear pores to improve acne and prevent breakouts. Both men and women of any age can benefit from facials, whether you have specific skin concerns or just want healthy-looking skin.

We recommend regular facial treatments every 4-6 weeks to help maintain skin health. They promote healthy circulation beneath the skin and when performed routinely, can help slow the onset of wrinkles, reduce facial puffiness and sagging, and promote skin renewal leading the way to clearer, firmer, more vibrant, healthier-looking skin.

WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for turning over damaged skin cells so the face can return to a natural glow.

We offer a number of chemical peels depending on your specific skin type, condition, and aesthetic goal.

We want to help you to achieve radiant, healthy-looking skin.

A chemical peel is a treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, hands, or anywhere on the body. A chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate the dead skin cells and eventually peel off revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. The new skin won’t have as much wear and tear so it’s more youthful and healthier looking.

HOW DOES A CHEMICAL PEEL WORK?

During a chemical peel treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin. This solution dissolves the upper layers of the skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells. The skin then heals itself with newer, smoother skin. At our med spa, we offer a variety of chemical peels, including VI Aesthetics and Glowbiotics MD peels.

HOW IS A CHEMICAL PEEL PROCEDURE PERFORMED?

Peels involve the application of a chemical solution to your entire face or just to certain regions, such as the crow’s feet area around your eyes or the vertical wrinkles around your mouth. Chemical peels can also improve skin conditions on the neck, décolletage, arms, back, shoulders, and legs.

The chemical solution is applied onto the skin being treated using a cotton pad, swab, or brush (avoiding your brows, eyes, and lips). During peel application, you may experience a slight tingling (light to medium peels) or a burning sensation (deep peels). These sensations are usually minimal for light and medium peels but can be more severe for deep peels.

The different types of chemical peels vary according to their specific ingredients and their strength. The depth of their peeling action may also be determined by factors such as how long they remain on the skin and how they are applied to the skin.

Chemical peels exfoliate dead cells and can improve texture, acne, sun damage, and congested pores. Deeper peels can address wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

BENEFITS?

Chemical peels are one of the least invasive options to improve the look of your skin. There are many benefits associated with peels, including:

Quick Results: Creams and lotions can only do so much. Peels can get you the smooth skin your desire, faster.
Promotes Collagen Production: Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, thereby helping to stimulate collagen production and cell renewal for younger-looking skin.
Boosts Confidence: Peels can result in a radiant, smooth complexion, which can result in a major confidence boost!
Reasonable Cost: With chemical peels, you can count on reliable results without spending hundreds of dollars on the latest anti-aging products.

WHY GET A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Chemical Peels are non-invasive and contain active chemical exfoliants that help restore skin surface and appearance. Peels help speed up the process of cellular turnover by shedding dead surface cells to reveal brighter and renewed skin. Chemical peels come in a range of intensities with different active ingredients to target various skin concerns - fine lines and wrinkles, acne-prone, hyperpigmented, or uneven skin as they help build collagen and resurface the skin. Chemical peels help safely and effectively exfoliate the dead skin that accumulates, so you are left with much softer and healthier, new skin underneath.

As we age, dead skin cells do not slough off as easily as when we are younger, causing the skin to appear dull. Light, medium, and deep chemical peels are a popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure used to peel away the skin’s top layer to improve sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented, and wrinkled skin. Improving the evenness of color and texture in your skin creates a youthful look and restores a healthy, luminous, radiant appearance.

The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider a chemical peel:

You have sun-damaged skin
You have significant facial wrinkling
Your skin color is uneven with blotchiness, sunspots, and brown spots
You have scars that have made the surface of your skin uneven

Dehydrated skin may appear flaky and dry, feel tight yet itchy, and look very flat. It can mask many skin conditions and can resemble simply dry skin.

We can evaluate all skin types for dehydration and make recommendations on your skin's needs.

We will remove the masque before massaging on any other serum or sunscreen. Our ZO Skin Brightening Treatment should improve your skin's tone and texture, give it a better color, and diminish some discoloration (dark spots, pigmentation, or sun damage).

While some facial treatments will improve how your skin feels, our ZO Skin Brightening Treatment will help lighten the dark spots or reinvigorate your skin color with a facial.
