Chemical Peel Whyte Ave

chemical peel edmonton whyte ave dermica

Located on Whyte Ave in Edmonton, Dérmica offers a chemical peel menu.

Tiny yet powerful

Chemical peels work due to their tiny size! Because of their molecular structure, these acids are able to penetrate past the acid mantle of the skin and deep into the layers beneath the surface of the skin. As a result, they separate the upper layers of the skin which causes an accelerated cell turnover rate. This causes your skin to shed and regenerate a new layer of skin in a 1 to 2 week period.

The acids used in professional peels are typically derived from natural sources and produced for safe usage on the skin. The most commonly used acids include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol).

Treatment or Maintenance

The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the condition we are treating. However, even if we are not treating any major skin concerns, it’s a good idea to incorporate a couple of peels annually to your anti-aging skin regimen by the age of 30.

Peel benefits

Chemical peels are a popular choice because they offer many benefits:

  • Increased vibrancy
  • Increased hydration
  • Increased product penetration and absorption
  • Clearance in skin tone
  • Smooth and improved texture
  • Clearance or reduction of active blemishes
  • Improved appearance of scarring

Extractions during a facial.

Facials are a great way to keep your pores clean and free of oil or impurities that can cause breakouts. We recommend booking a facial every 4-6 weeks.


CHEMICAL PEELS

skincare spa service- peels

Chemical peels are great for skin rejuvenation because they accelerate the cell turnover rate by chemically penetrating beneath the surface of the skin to dissolve away dead skin cells. If you are treating a concern, such as sun damage, fine lines, or hyperpigmentation, we recommend 4-8 sessions.


PHOTOFACIALS

skincare spa services- photofacials

Photofacials use Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology to diminish brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, fine lines and other textural damage. We recommend 4-6 treatments when treating the above skin concerns.


DERMAPLANING

skincare spa service- dermaplane

Dérmaplane delivers a fine shave that removes the dull surface skin and vellus facial hair as the technician gently grazes a medical-grade scalpel edge over the surface of the skin.

PROFESSIONAL SKINCARE AT HOME

Professional treatments should go hand in hand with clinical grade skincare products that will help to maximize results.

This is why we offer 15% OFF all Glo Skin Beauty products in-store with any of the treatments above.

March 2019 Special: ALL Chemical Peels- $85

How do Chemical Peels work?

Chemical peels work by separating the upper layers of the skin causing an accelerated cell turnover rate. Because of their molecular structure, they are able to penetrate past the acid mantle of the skin and deep into the layers beneath the surface of the skin. This causes your skin to shed and regenerate a new layer of skin in a 1 to 2 week period.

The acids we use in our professional chemical peels are typically derived from natural sources and produced for safe usage on the skin.

Q: How do chemical peels work?
A: Chemical peels work by separating the upper layers of the skin causing an accelerated cell turnover rate.

This causes your skin to shed and regenerate a new layer of skin in a 1 to 2 week period.

Q: What type of acid is used?
A: The acids used in professional chemical peels are typically derived from natural sources and produced for safe usage on the skin. Most commonly used acids include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol).
Dependent on your skin type and condition, your skin care specialist will select an appropriate acid to use. Persons who have never had a peel before must begin with our Grape Enzyme Peel.

FACT: Did you know glycolic acid stimulates exfoliation? It treats flaky or dull skin and hyper pigmentation. The smaller a molecule, the more easily it gets into the skin and penetrates deeply. Because glycolic is the smallest of all the acids, it yields the most dramatic results.

Q: What results can I expect?
A: Typical results with most peels include
  • Increased vibrancy
  • Increased hydration
  • Increased product penetration and absorption
  • Clearance in skin tone
  • Smooth and improved texture
  • Clearance or reduction of active blemishes
  • Improved appearance of scarring
