Now that summer is over, you might be noticing the dreaded effects of prolonged sun exposure on your skin. Fortunately, there is a solution to restore your skin's natural beauty and undo the harmful effects of the summer sun - a chemical facial peel. A chemical peel is a powerful and effective solution to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin, leaving it looking fresh, youthful, and radiant. Here are some peels we recommend booking this fall at Visage Facial Plastic Surgery.

Light Peels

Light chemical facial peels are designed to enhance the complexion with minimal downtime. We carry two light peels.

ZO Ossential® Stimulator Peel (aka "lunchtime" or "red carpet" peel)

This "peel" is great for all Fitzpatrick skin types – oily or dry. It works at the superficial layer of your skin to provide gentle exfoliation without any peeling. It is most effective in a series of three to four peels, spaced as soon as one week apart. It can then be repeated once or twice a year to maintain your glow. We highly recommend this one before a special occasion.

PCA Sensi Peel®

Our PCA Sensi Peel is another great one to start with if you are new to chemical peels. This 6% TCA solution can help even out your skin tone for brighter skin with less redness. It is an excellent peel for sensitive skin and higher Fitzpatrick skin types. A series of 3 peels every 3-6 months is recommended for optimal results.

Medium Peels

Medium chemical facial peels provide a more intensive exfoliation that effectively addresses persistent skin concerns. These peels do result in 1-2 weeks of peeling and possible redness or irritation. We recommend prepping your skin with a retinol cream for four to six weeks prior to a medium facial peel.

ZO 3-Step Peel® 

Once again, ZO has created a peel that is suitable for all skin types. The ZO 3-Step Peel contains a 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) component, along with salicylic and lactic acids and a 6% retinol component to promote cell turnover. This powerful combination of acids effectively combats the signs of aging and skin discoloration, resulting in improved skin health. It can also help address pigment issues, minimize large pores, and diminish fine wrinkles.

PCA Peel® Hydroquinone Free

The PCA Peel® Hydroquinone Free is ideal for patients with darker skin tones that may have sensitive skin and are more prone to breakouts.

PCA Peel® with Hydroquinone

If your skin is not sensitive to Hydroquinone and you are looking to brighten your skin and improve dark spots, the PCA Peel® with Hydroquinone might be perfect for you.

Ultra Peel®

This 10% TCA peel was specifically formulated for maturing skin to minimize wrinkles and dark spots. While this peel treats signs of aging, we can also blend it with our other formulas to treat other skin types and concerns, such as acne.
