MEDICAL GRADE PEEL REVIEWS
Where can Medical Grade Peels be used?
Both Medical Grade Peels can be used on the facial and neck area. The intensity of chemical peel, from mild to deep, is determined by the concern and the patient’s skin. For example, thicker skin may require a peel that contains a more aggressive formulation so that it can work more deeply into the dermal layers in order to obtain the desired results better. A lighter peel may be necessary for patients whose skin is sensitive and more fragile. The best type of peel for you will be determined during the initial consultation process prior to treatment.
Vivier Peel for Glowing Skin
The Vivier Peel contains key therapeutic ingredients to improve your complexion, giving it a healthy glow that you’ll be able to see instantly. It is also gentle enough to have the treatment done just days before a big event.
Here are the active ingredients:
- 10% Lactic Acid: helps improve moisture levels in overly sensitive or dry skin.
- 2% Salicylic Acid: helps ease acne, reduce oiliness, improve texture and ease post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH). Also encourages the removal of debris that can clog your pores and dull the upper layer of your skin.
- 14% Resorcinol: helps ease inflammation, redness and acne.
Benefits:
- Boosts the rate at which your cells regenerate, giving you smoother and softer skin.
- Clears out your pores, improving acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
- It acts as an anti-inflammatory, easing redness.
- It also softens tough skin, stimulates collagen production and leaves your skin looking cleaner and fresher.
- Skin is strengthened after just one treatment
- Moisturizes and heals your skin.
You’ll notice an improvement in your skin quality after just one session, but we recommend 3-6 treatments for the best results.
Glycolic Peel for Acne, Discoloration and Wrinkles
The Glycolic Peel, a type of chemical peel, is one of the most popular solutions for anyone who suffers from common skin conditions. These conditions, such as acne, wrinkles, age spots or uneven coloration and tone, can all be treated.
By taking advantage of the aesthetic properties of this peel, you can enjoy the benefits of youthful, healthy skin with even texture and coloration. It’s a gentle treatment that is helpful in restoring your complexion. Its application includes the resolution of skin problems like:
- Irregular pigmentation
- Sun or age spots
- Mild to moderate acne
- Superficial acne scarring
- Wrinkles, fine lines
Glycolic peels are chemical exfoliants that use glycolic acid, whereas other chemical peels make use of lactic, salicylic or retinoid acid. It is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that has several medical uses. As the molecules that make up glycolic acid are tinier than other AHAs, they are able to penetrate your skin more easily and reach the deeper layers.

Learn How Medical Peels work
Keeping your pores clean of dirt and debris is essential for achieving or maintaining clear, healthy skin. Pores are the most basic (and influential) factor involved with how healthy a person’s complexion is and, if they become clogged, many different skin problems — from acne to uneven skin texture or coloring — quickly arise. Pores can easily become clogged when foreign matter — like dirt and debris — and excessive oil block their openings. Dead cells that haven’t been removed by washing or scrubbing can also build up and interfere with the pores. Excessive dirt and debris build-up on the skin is the most avoidable problem, however, taking care of this is important.
The more serious skin conditions that a chemical peel can treat are photodamage (like freckles or age-related spotting), fine lining around the mouth and eyes, mild to moderate scarring, acne and hyperpigmentation.
During your consultation, your skin will be assessed and you can express the goals you have for your skin. During this time you can express any medical conditions or medications you may be taking. This process is for your safety, minimizing risks and improving the outcome of your Medical Grade Peel. It is important to disclose if you:
- Have cold sores or a history of cold sores
- Are pregnant
- Have a genetic predisposition to the development of pigmentation irregularities, particularly after trauma
- Have a history of keloid scarring
- Had acne treatments within the last year, especially Accutane
This list is not complete. A full list will be discussed prior to the treatment so you can briefly go over your medical history.
Chemical peels are considered a relatively gentle treatment that can help your skin look better and become healthier. Lighter chemical peels achieve results that improve with subsequent treatments while you may just need one deep peel to achieve much longer lasting results.

FAQ's About Medical Grade Peels
Medical Grade Peels offer a safe and effective solution for removing dead skin cells, reducing fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and freckles. They’re ideal for reversing sun damage and other skin imperfections. Available in various strengths, these peels rejuvenate your skin, leaving it brighter, tighter, and younger. Skin Vitality offers both Vivier and Glycolic Peels to meet your needs.
The cost of Medical Grade Peels varies based on the patient’s specific skin concerns. For an accurate quote, contact us today to receive a FREE consultation and assessment at any of our 14 locations!
The duration of Chemical Peel results depends on their strength. A light peel typically lasts 1-2 months, while a medium peel lasts 2-6 months. Skin Vitality provides both light and medium peels. The Vivier & Glycolic treatments deliver results for approximately 4 months.
In a light chemical peel, patients might experience mild stinging while the solution is applied. For a medium peel, stinging and burning sensations may occur for about 20 minutes. Skin is cooled and soothed with cool compresses and handheld fans.
Before the procedure, your nurse will cleanse your face, shield your hair, and cover your eyes. In a light chemical peel, a solution with glycolic or salicylic acid is applied, causing the skin to whiten. Then, a neutralizing wash removes the solution. For a medium peel, a solution containing trichloroacetic acid, sometimes with glycolic acid, is used. The skin whitens, and cool compresses are applied for soothing after a few minutes.
Results from light Medical Grade Peels will be noticeable once the skin has fully healed, generally within two to three weeks. Medium Medical Grade Peels will generally take longer and may take up to 16 weeks for results.
Medical Grade Peel treatments typically take between 15-90 minutes, depending on the strength of the peel. At Skin Vitality, Vivier peels can be performed as a quick 15-minute stand-alone peel, or as an extended Vivier professional facial protocol.
After a light chemical peel, expect mild redness, dryness, and irritation, which diminish with repeated treatments. Your doctor may apply a soothing ointment. You can usually wear makeup the next day if desired. Following a medium peel, anticipate redness, swelling, and stinging.
An ointment may be applied for comfort and to prevent dryness. Cosmetics can be used to conceal redness in 5-7 days. As swelling reduces, skin forms a crust and may darken. Healing takes 1-2 weeks, with possible lingering redness for up to four months.
While light and medium Medical Grade Peels deliver transformative results, it’s important to note that these effects aren’t permanent. As the strength of the Peel increases, so does the potency of the results achieved.
Light peels utilize gentle chemicals, targeting the outermost layer of skin. They’re perfect for addressing mild sun damage, acne scars, and aging signs. Recovery from a light chemical peel involves minimal restrictions, allowing patients to resume normal activities almost immediately.
Medium Chemical Peels are employed for moderate wrinkling, deeper acne scars, and discoloration. Sedation might be necessary for medium peels, with recovery ranging from several days to a few weeks as skin cells regenerate.
