While numerous cosmetic procedures are available to help rejuvenate the appearance of the face, the facial peel is one of the most influential and transformative non-surgical treatments.
Facial peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and other unwanted environmental debris while revealing new and healthy skin. However, different types of facial peels renew the skin to different degrees.
Below is information on nine of the most effective facial peels.
1. ZO® Lunchtime Peel
The ZO® Lunchtime Peel is a stimulator peel, meaning that the skin is exfoliated to remove unwanted debris while the production of collagen and elastin is increased. This gives lasting improvement to the tone, texture, health, and appearance of your skin.
This peel utilizes lactic, citric, and salicylic acids, and one of the best parts of this peel is that there is no downtime, so you can have your treatment performed over your lunch break and return to the rest of your daily activities without delay.
2. Micropeel
Like the ZO® Lunchtime Peel, the Micropeel does not require any downtime. With the Micropeel, patients can look forward to rejuvenated skin thanks to the exfoliation of the peel.
Because this facial peel is relatively mild, it cannot treat deep scars or wrinkles the way other peels can; however, the Micropeel is safe and effective for all skin types and works to even out skin tone for a more youthful appearance.
3. Micropeel Plus
The Micropeel Plus improves collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin and is effective for treating large pores, acne, and other skin imperfections. This peel uses salicylic and glycolic acids to exfoliate and refresh the skin for a healthy shine.
Like the ZO® Lunchtime Peel and the standard Micropeel, the Micropeel Plus does not require any downtime, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on anything while you achieve a more attractive facial appearance.
4. Pigment Balancing Peel
This treatment uses Vitamin C (1-ascorbic acid) and glycolic acid to exfoliate and renew the skin’s appearance. The Pigment Balancing Peel is a great option for women and men looking to even out their skin tone and texture while promoting a healthy glow to the skin. While it is common for the skin to appear pink initially, there is no downtime.
5. Obagi™ Blue Peel Radiance
This peel uses a superficial salicylic acid base to remove unwanted grime from the facial skin, creating a smoother and more youthful complexion. And what’s even better is that this treatment only requires one peel to achieve desired results. Whether you struggle with wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, or sun damage, the Obagi™ Blue Peel Radiance may be a great option.
Since there is no downtime, you can return to your everyday activities without skipping a beat.
6. Sensi Peel®
The Sensei Peel® is an effective option for women and men struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Additionally, it is safe and effective for use on different skin types and colors, making it a fantastic option for treating your skin conditions.
With this peel, you may experience some flaking and peeling of the treated skin for several days. Because of this, there is a recovery period of about four to six days.
7. Vitalize Peel
The Vitalize Peel is a deep peel that can help address acne, acne scarring, and pigmentation concerns. This peel is composed of denatured alcohol, salicylic acid, resorcinol, and lactic acid, making it stronger than some of the peels listed above. Because of this, there is a recovery period of about three to five days.
8. Ultra Peel™
The Ultra Peel is made of 10% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), making it a great option for addressing age-related skin concerns. After your Ultra Peel, you can look forward to a more youthful appearance, including fewer fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and better skin tone and texture.
9. ZO® 3-Step Peel
The ZO® 3-Step Peel is a deep facial peel that can treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne, melasma, sun damage, pigmentation issues, skin lines, and dullness. This peel is composed of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and TCA.
As the name suggests, this treatment is more involved than other peels, with three steps:
- The application of the peel solution
- The application of retinol cream
- The application of calming cream
Since this is a deep peel, you can expect three to five days of downtime.
