Chemical peels are a skin treatment in which an esthetician applies a chemical solution that removes the top layers of skin. When the peel is removed, smooth, fresh skin is revealed. Peels are available in different strengths to treat a variety of skin concerns, including dryness and uneven skin tone.
At Associated Plastic Surgeons, we offer a variety of facial and body peels in Kansas City. We talk with you about your goals and evaluate your skin to help you choose the peel that best lines up with your skin goals. Our non-surgical treatments can help you achieve immediate results, with even better results seen with regularly scheduled peels.
Chemical peels in Kansas City can rejuvenate your skin’s appearance by exfoliating your skin and stimulating collagen production. Some skin concerns they can improve include:
Chemical peels are very versatile and can range from light to deep exfoliation.
VI Peels are Vitality Institute chemical peels. The Vitality Institute offers six trademarked treatments that can help with skin changes due to aging, areas of hyperpigmentation, acne, and sun damage. A VI Peel can be used on other areas of your body where you are battling acne or other skin concerns.
PCA peels are made by PCA Skin. These superficial exfoliating peels contain ingredients such as lactic acid and salicylic acid and can be customized to meet your skin’s type and needs. They can reduce hyperpigmentation, signs of aging, and acne problems while rejuvenating your skin. PCA peels can be especially helpful when you have sun-damaged skin. Your face may look a little more red than usual after this peel, but that can be covered by makeup if necessary. A PCA superficial peel can be a great starting point when you are new to peels.
PCA Skin also makes peels that target deeper layers of your skin. These contain trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and are considered blended peels. A blended peel balances the potency of each ingredient by combining the right substances. Our estheticians are PCA certified, making them experts in the use of PCA Skin peels.
The BioRePeel is made with 35% TCA, so it differs slightly from other peels. It improves skin surface, treats imperfections, and accelerates cell turnover. It even stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within your skin. One special feature of this peel is minimal to no shedding after it exfoliates the most superficial layer of your skin. You will see new, healthy skin almost immediately after your peel.
SkinMedica makes a varied line of medical-grade chemical peels. The Illuminize Peel® provides radiant-looking skin with minimal downtime. It will help with mild skin imperfections. The Vitalize Peel® can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while evening skin tone and decreasing hyperpigmentation.
The Rejuvenize Peel™ is SkinMedica’s strongest peel. It can tackle fine lines and wrinkles with noticeable improvement after just one peel. After three to six peels, you will see a significant improvement in your appearance, with a much more even skin tone and fewer wrinkles. When you have significant sun damage, this is the peel for you. This strong peel requires about one week of downtime.
