It may help improve:

SkinMedica® Professional Chemical Peels
Elite Laser Center & Med Spa offers three SkinMedica professional chemical peels with different levels of exfoliation and correction.
The appropriate peel depends on the client's skin, previous experience with chemical peels, treatment goals and desired downtime.
SkinMedica Illuminize Peel®
The SkinMedica Illuminize Peel is the gentlest of the three SkinMedica professional peels we offer.
It is a good option for clients who are new to professional chemical peels or who want a lighter resurfacing treatment.
It may help improve the appearance of:
- Dull skin
- Mild skin imperfections
- Uneven tone
- Mild discoloration
- Uneven texture
- Overall skin brightness
Illuminize Peel is intended to provide a brighter, refreshed appearance with relatively little visible peeling compared with stronger SkinMedica peels.

It may be appropriate for clients concerned with:
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
- Pigmentation

Clients may experience more noticeable peeling following this treatment than with Illuminize Peel.
SkinMedica Rejuvenize Peel™

It may be considered for clients seeking more advanced skin resurfacing.
It may help improve the appearance of:
- Uneven pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough texture
- Visible signs of aging
Because Rejuvenize Peel provides more intensive exfoliation, clients should expect the possibility of more noticeable peeling and downtime than with lighter peel options.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a gentle physical exfoliation treatment that removes dead surface skin cells and fine facial hair, commonly called peach fuzz.
A specialized sterile blade is carefully passed across the surface of the skin by a trained professional to exfoliate the outermost layer.
Dermaplaning can leave the skin feeling smoother and looking brighter and more polished.
It may help with:
- Dull skin
- Rough surface texture
- Dead skin buildup
- Fine facial hair
- Overall skin smoothness
- Makeup application
Dermaplaning requires little to no downtime.
It can be performed as a standalone treatment or used as an add-on to selected skincare services when appropriate.
Dermaplaning is also available as one of the treatment add-ons offered through our Skincare Club.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive physical exfoliation and skin resurfacing treatment that removes dead surface skin cells.
The treatment gently resurfaces the outer layer of the skin to help create a smoother, brighter and more refreshed appearance.
Microdermabrasion may help improve the appearance of:
- Dull skin
- Rough skin texture
- Dry or flaky surface skin
- Mild uneven tone
- Surface buildup
- Overall skin smoothness
- Overall skin brightness
Microdermabrasion is a good option for clients who want physical exfoliation without undergoing a traditional chemical peel.
It can be performed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into selected skincare services when appropriate.
Microdermabrasion is also available as one of the treatment add-ons offered through our Skincare Club.
