Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of skin and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. Your skin looks brighter and skincare products are absorbed better after treatment.

Unlike the highly aggressive chemical peels that were introduced fifty years ago, the newer chemical peel formulations have evolved into skin-friendly blends that include biocompatible lactic and citric acids, buffering agents such as licorice extract and willow bark to minimize irritation to skin, as well as topical antioxidants to infuse skin with restorative nutrients. Forever Young offers several chemical peels to lighten your skin, reduce pore size, improve acne and stimulate new skin cell growth.

SkinMedica Peels

The Vitalize and Rejuvenize Peels from SkinMedica® easily and effectively fight the effects of time, sun damage, and environmental assaults. These powerful, collagen -stimulating peels can take years off aging skin. Acne clientele swear by these peels because of their Retinoic acid component that significantly reduces oil production, acne flares and diminishes scarring.

The peels address various skin conditions including pigmentation abnormalities, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine wrinkles, large pores, and acne and are safely performed on all skin types. A combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and retinoic acid create superior exfoliation to other chemical peels as it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, tightening the skin and shrinking the pores. Because the formula is uniquely self -neutralizing, it is extremely well tolerated, leaving the skin immediately taut and without redness so that the downtime is limited to the peeling days.

This peel cannot be used on individuals with aspirin sensitivity or allergy.
