What Is a SkinCeuticals Peel?

A SkinCeuticals peel is a superficial chemical peel that exfoliates the skin and improves concerns such as dullness, uneven tone, acne, fine lines, and rough texture. Unlike deeper peels, SkinCeuticals peels deliver noticeable skin rejuvenation with little to no downtime, making them a popular option for patients seeking brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Many people have an aversion to chemical peels because they believe, as the name would suggest, that the skin will peel, and this can be very disruptive for anyone with a busy schedule.

But contrary to popular belief, not every peel makes the skin shed and flake off. With these superficial peels, patients won’t flake and the peels are still effective without the downtime. All of the SkinCeuticals peels that we carry at WIFH are in that category.

These peels are safe for all skin types and ethnicities

SkinCeuticals peels pair well with dermaplaningHydraFacial, and microdermabrasion.

How Do SkinCeuticals Peels Work?

Chemical peels (or simply “peels”) are very popular skin resurfacing procedures. There is a chemical peel available for every skin type and skin condition. There are peels that offer no peeling, meaning the exfoliation does not result in the sloughing of skin[34]. These are known as superficial peels and we offer a variety of superficial peels formulated by SkinCeuticals, the pioneers of cosmeceutical skincare products.

Each SkinCeuticals peel is done as part of a facial and includes a deep cleanse, peel application, soothing mask and customized products to hydrate and protect the skin.

We believe consultations are very important when considering any skin treatment. Our consultations give us the opportunity to get to know our patients and understand exactly what they are looking to achieve with their skin. At the consultation patients will meet with one of our medical aestheticians who will put together a treatment plan along with product recommendations for them to consider.

SkinCeuticals pricing is determined by a patient’s desired number of treatments, which range from $30-$150. Because SkinCeutical Peels do not cause flakiness or skin peeling, many patients opt for numerous treatments. These peels are safe for all skin types, even the most sensitive. They are also customizable and can be paired with many of our skin treatments.
