Chemical Peels

White Pearl Medical Spa is excited to offer the following peels:

• Glycolic Peel 20%. This mild peel uses glycolic acid to exfoliate the upper layer of the skin. It helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation, resulting in smoother and more radiant-looking skin. The glycolic peel 20% is best for patients with skin levels 1-4 on the Fitzpatrick scale.
• Glycolic Peel 40%. This is a more aggressive peel that provides more dramatic improvements in the skin in a shorter period but requires additional recovery and downtime.
• Lactic Peel 40%. The Lactic Peel is a gentle peel that utilizes lactic acid to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. It effectively improves the skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and brightens dull skin. This peel is recommended for sensitive or dry skin types and is suitable for patients on the Fitzpatrick scale of 1-6.
• TCA 10%. The TCA 10% is a medium-strength peel that uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to remove the top layer of skin. It helps improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation concerns and acne scarring, and stimulate collagen production for firmer, youthful-looking skin.
• TCA 20%. The TCA 20% is a stronger version of the TCA 10% peel, with a higher concentration of trichloroacetic acid. It provides more dramatic results and suits those with deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and sun damage.
• Jessner’s Peel. The Jessner’s Peel is a combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol. It is a strong peel that improves the skin’s texture, reduces hyperpigmentation, and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This peel is recommended for those with acne-prone or oily skin.
