Our skin is constantly exposed to the elements, so it tends to take on visible damage over time. Therefore, it can be beneficial to trigger regeneration of healthy skin cells while removing damaged surface skin and impurities, such as dirt, dead skin cells, and oils. When routine exfoliation at home isn’t enough, a chemical peel can revitalize the skin and kickstart new cell growth. Chemical peels can also target specific concerns, like dark spots or uneven skin tone.
Chemical peels vary in their strength and intensity. Light peels simply offer deep exfoliation to slough away dead skin and help your skin appear brighter, softer, and smoother. Deeper peels actually remove the top layers of skin for more dramatic results. El Con Health and Wellness offers several types of chemical peels to address your unique skin concerns on a treatment timeline that works for you. Chemical peels are great standalone treatments, but they can also be combined with dermal fillers, laser treatments, and other procedures for even more amazing results.
The VI Peel is a medium-depth peel—the strongest chemical peel we offer—and it’s appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, this peel is particularly effective for targeting melasma and other types of skin discoloration. With a blend of powerful ingredients, the VI Peel tightens skin, smooths skin texture, and brightens the skin tone. It can also alleviate acne, rosacea, acne scars, and rough skin. You’ll see results from this peel in about 7 days and should avoid sun exposure following your treatment. Along with the face, the VI Peel can treat the chest, hands, arms, and back—perfect for any areas of skin that see frequent sun exposure.
One of the most popular chemical peels around today, the Obagi Blue “Radiance” Peel is designed to improve overall complexion with a blend of salicylic acid and other exfoliants. In a single layer, this peel is an ideal lunchtime treatment that can be performed in about 30 minutes with you returning to your routine right away. However, additional layers of the peel can be applied for more intense treatment and dramatic results. It’s truly customizable to your needs. Pair with the Obagi NuDerm System for at-home skincare for long-lasting improvement to your skin that defies the aging process.
Geneo isn’t quite a traditional chemical peel, but it does deeply exfoliate the skin and infuse nutrients and oxygenating elements through innovative OxyPod capsules that come in several formulations to address unique skincare goals. The Geneo device exfoliates, infuses, and oxygenates the skin all at once for smooth, healthy skin that appears younger, fresher, and natural.
PRX is also not quite a peel, but rather a chemical application to tighten and smooth the skin with a powerful main ingredient: TCA acid. You won’t see skin peel much following your treatment, but it will become visibly tighter with a more even tone and texture. PRX application is followed with a glycolic acid serum and moisturizing face cream to fully restore your skin and have you feeling fresh with no downtime. It’s also highly effective for acne scars and stretch marks.
Wonderful service and experience overall. I recommend this place 100%. The service I’ve received at other locations does not compare. -Hannia Martinez
