Vitalize Peel® by SkinMedica

Model*

*Individual results may vary.

Vitalize Peel® is a powerful yet non-damaging chemical peel that helps fight the effects of time, sun damage, and environmental assaults. This peel can take years off aging skin in just minutes. Vitalize Peel® is the only superficial peel suitable for all skin tones and complexions. This special formulation includes a unique blend of peeling agents: alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol, and retinoic acid (obtained by physicians only). While results are predictable and noticeable after just one peel, dramatic results are seen after a series of peels. This is a highly effective rejuvenation procedure with no downtime.

How does Vitalize Peel® work?

Vitalize peel® uses a unique blend of safe but effective acids to cause chemical exfoliation of the epidermis, or outer layer of the skin. Skin regeneration following this chemical peel results in a fresh, organized, healthy epidermis. The result is a smoother and more even complexion and an improvement in pigment changes.

What is Vitalize Peel® used for?

The Vitalize Peel® improves the skin's overall appearance, decreasing fine line wrinkles and restoring even skin tones. Vitalize Peel® is effective for pigment changes caused by acne scarring, photodamage (sun damage), "age spots", freckles, melasma (from hormone changes), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Vitalize Peel® tightens pores, improves skin texture, and smoothes ruddy complexions.

Chemical Peels 101

On "The Early Show" Wednesday, Montclair, N.J. Board Certified dermatologist Dr. Jeanine Downie filled viewers in on the relatively inexpensive procedure. She says it's highly effective in treating various skin conditions. Some can be done at home, others, only in a doctor's office.

According to Dr. Downie:

Chemical peels are light acid peels that help with tone, texture, acne and fine lines. I recommend them to most patients: You can look better and wear less makeup. They can also help reverse the sun damage.

Skin problems best treated with chemical peels include acne, hyper-pigmentation and fine lines. Chemical peels can even out skin tone, and increase your confidence along the way. A lot of men who have razor bumps find great success with peels, as well.

You have a higher amount of acids and active ingredients and can get results faster when one is done at a doctor's office, and physicians can deal with any resulting irritation or burning. At-home peels are mildly to moderately effective; they're really more for maintenance for people watching their budget or who might travel a lot than anything else.
