All About Peels: Chemical and Alternative

Chemical peels have been a popular and effective skincare treatment for decades. You might have heard, or you know from firsthand experience, that after a peel your skin will be red and will then peel in the days following. Not everyone is comfortable with the downtime or potential discomfort associated with traditional peels.

The good news is that now there are more peel options. You can get traditional peel results without the harsh side effects. 

THE NON-PEEL PEEL

SWiCH Dermal Rejuvenation System: The SWiCH peel is often referred to as the "Relaxing Non-Peel Peel" because it stimulates the skin's natural repair mechanism to improve the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and other signs of aging without causing injury to the skin. This makes it an excellent option for those who want to improve their skin's appearance without the downtime or peeling associated with traditional peels.

The SWiCH peel is typically done in a series of 3-6 treatments, one to two times a year. This makes it a great option for those who want to maintain their skin's appearance and prevent signs of aging.

Chemical PEELS

In addition to the SWiCH peel, there are three levels of chemical peels that can provide more dramatic results for those who are ready to take the plunge.

The Level 1 Peel, also known as the "Glow and Go" peel, is a quick, lunchtime peel that can be done bi-weekly or as needed. It's perfect for those who are short on time and want a quick pick-me-up for their skin. This peel can help unclog pores, smooth the skin's texture, and leave the skin looking radiant and glowing.

The Level 2 Peel is a deeper peel that's developed for treating pigmentation issues such as acne, melasma, or photo-damaged skin. This peel can lighten pigmentation and accelerate physical peeling without causing excessive damage to the skin. It's typically done in 1-3 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart, and is an excellent option for those who want to brighten their skin's appearance and improve mild acne scarring.

The Level 3 Peel is the most intense of the three and is designed to brighten pigmentation, increase cell turnover, and reveal a more even skin tone. You can expect noticeable peeling or flaking approximately 3 to 4 days after the peel, and it can be repeated every 2-3 months. This peel is for those who are in need of serious skin rejuvenation and have already been prepping their skin with proper home care for a month.
