Power of Peels

The power of peels in the beauty industry is no secret. They are a great way to address multiple concerns in one go, making them a great addition to almost any routine. With a variety of peels available at Elite Medi Spa, you have the opportunity to explore solutions designed for your specific skincare needs. Please keep reading to learn all about them!

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a specialized treatment that uses a carefully selected solution to improve damaged outer layers of your skin. It’s essentially a professional-grade exfoliation process that rids the skin of dead skin cells and makes way for fresh, vibrant cells to emerge.

Why Do You Have Dead Skin?

Your skin is your largest organ. It has a lot of important responsibilities. Among them are protecting the internal body from harmful UV radiation and acting as a shield against physical threats. One of its key functions is protection, acting as a barrier against physical damage and harmful UV rays. It also helps regulate body temperature and protects against water loss, ensuring your body stays balanced and hydrated.

To do all of this effectively, the epidermis layer constantly renews itself, creating new cells roughly every 4 weeks. The new cells take the place of dead skin cells as they slough off, ready to defend and protect.

What Benefits Do Chemical Peels Have Over Other Exfoliation Methods?

Chemical peels offer a more instant and effective way to revitalize your skin than other over-the-counter options. While brushes, masks, and skincare serums with exfoliating ingredients like glycolic acid can help remove surface buildup, they usually don’t penetrate deeply enough to address stubborn concerns like acne scars, uneven pigmentation, or pronounced signs of aging. By contrast, the medical-grade solutions used in peels can break down old skin cells more effectively and target underlying layers, revealing refreshed skin underneath and promoting better results over time.

This deeper penetration and more extensive results from chemical peels will help your other products and Elite Medi Spa services work even better! When you clear away older surface cells, your cleansers, serums, and moisturizers can reach the healthier layers beneath. This often makes your everyday skincare routine more rewarding since each product can work more effectively. Likewise, professional services, like facials or masks, may also deliver more significant benefits once your skin is free of excess buildup.

Comparing the Peels at Elite Medi Spa

For a truly unique-to-you approach to skin rejuvenation, our team at Elite Medi Spa in Bend, Oregon, offers multiple chemical peels in order to address an assortment of concerns and skin types. Each peel has unique strengths to help you achieve your best complexion.

• VI Peel Advanced: Older patients who desire a strong approach to combat their loss of elasticity and reduce their fine lines and wrinkles are perfect for the VI Peel Advanced. This peel stimulates collagen production to firm the skin and increase skin cell turnover.
• VI Peel Purify: This VI Peel is for those with acne-prone skin! It’s specifically formulated to target acne bacteria and blemishes, as well as clear away dead skin cells and flush out oils and debris clogging pores.
• PRX-T33: This revolutionary treatment stands in a class of its own, delivering the benefits of a peel without the peeling—earning it the nickname ‘no peel peel.’ Unlike most trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, PRX-T33 involves no downtime and avoids the lingering side effects often associated with other treatments. It effectively targets a range of skin concerns, including sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, age spots, melasma, uneven texture, acne scars, and stretch marks. 
• ZO Skincare Enzymatic Peel: Replace your harsh at-home brushes with this over-the-counter provider-approved chemical peel. This medical-grade enzymatic peel uses natural ingredients like papaya and pineapple enzymes to break down dead skin cells that have overstayed their welcome. Other ingredients like kukui seed oil and safflower seed oil help keep the skin moisturized, providing built-in dryness relief that other exfoliating methods lack.

No matter which peel catches your attention, our team will guide you toward the best choice for your unique skin type and goals. By selecting the right option, you’ll enjoy a rejuvenated look that can boost your confidence and support long-term skin health.
