Chemical Peels 101: What's the Difference?

Not every peel is a one-type-fits-all but how do you know which one you need and what the differences are? Our clinic offers a variety of chemical peels and can customize them to suit each patient’s need.

 

What chemical peels does GAB offer?

We offer a range of peels from no-peel peels to deep penetrating peels. These peels include VI Peels, ZO Stimulator Peel and PCA Peels.

Quick Add-On Peel

 PCA Peels

Advanced and Custom Peels

 VI Peels

If you’re ready to take the leap into more advanced peels the VI Peels are at the top.  Why do we love them?

  • Medium depth peel

  • Physical peeling from heavy sheet to moderate flaking for 5-7 days

  • Safe & effective for all fitzpatrick skin types

  • More customization available for patients skin concerns and needs

Winter and spring are generally optimal times to have a chemical peel due to patients have less sun exposure – but you still need to apply your SPF! When treating other conditions such as acne and texture chemical peels can be done year round with proper after care.
