Popular chemical peels in Plymouth

Our clients have some favorite chemical peels, which we customize for each skin type. So here are the 3 top picks. Schedule an appointment to discuss these and other possibilities for refreshing your skin.

ZO 3-step peel

Process

Our providers can use 3-Step ZO facial peel on most parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs. 

The first step is a solution made from lactic acid, salicylic acid, and TCA. The second step is a retinol creme application which penetrates deeper thanks to the peel. Retinol helps reduce wrinkles—firming and toning your skin while evening out pigmentation. 

The third step applies a calming creme. This solution stimulates collagen production, along with hyaluronic acid which helps to retain moisture in your skin. 

Recovery time

You’ll experience some skin roughness up to 48 hours after the treatment. On the third and fourth days, dead cells will slough away, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Results

Improvement starts around 2 weeks, with final results appearing within 6 weeks. Continued use of recommended ZO skincare products post-treatment will progressively help smooth your skin, diminish red spots, and address fine lines and wrinkles.

Illuminize peel by SkinMedica®

Process

Your Vively Body Science provider will apply the Illuminize by SkinMedica solution, which includes light peeling agents alpha and beta hyrdroxyl acids (AHAs and BHAs). 

Depending on whether you want a light or heavy chemical peel, we may also use deeper peeling agents like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and carbolic acid.

Recovery time

Your skin should look fresh and glowing immediately after the treatment. And some patients may notice mild discoloration or redness, which will fade after a few days.

Results

You will see immediate improvement after just one peel. After 3 to 6 peels, significant results should become apparent. You can repeat the treatment every 3 to 4 weeks until you reach your goals.

Cool Peel® by Environ®

Process

Cool Peel by Environ functions differently from other chemical peels. As part of the selection of chemical peels in Plymouth, Vively offers this system designed to support the natural processes of healthy skin. Cool Peel also provides a variety of peel depths under the Cool Peel name.

The low pH of the Cool Peel solutions preserves as much of your epidermis as possible. It stimulates your skin to increase collagen production, gently and frequently without any sensation of heat or tingling.

Recovery time

You may experience mild redness or tingling following your peel for 1 to 2 days. Depending on the specifics of the Cool peel, you may notice mild to moderate peelng of the skin after 1 to 3 days.

Results

As with other chemical peels, you’ll register immediate improvements after your Cool Peel treatment. You’ll want 3 to 6 treatments minimum to achieve maximum results. For best results, make sure you follow an Environ Skin Care at-home routine during and after treatments for support and maintenance.
