Both of these peels can help to improve the appearance of your skin, smoothing your complexion and reducing the appearance of minor imperfections. While both peel types can help give your skin a revitalized look, there is a slight difference between the two. 

Illuminize Peel

This SkinMedica Illuminize peel is considered to be a light peel that is used to remove the outermost layer of skin. This treatment is for mild skin imperfections and will cause little-to-no visible peeling. This is the lightest peel type offered from SkinMedica and is a great option for those trying a chemical peel for the first time. If your only goal is to refresh and renew your skin, the Illuminize peel is a great option.

This peel is best used on Fitzpatrick Skin Types I - VI. If you are trying a chemical peel for the first time and are not sure how your skin will react, this is a great option for you. It can improve the appearance of your skin, smooth your complexion, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and discoloration if you do a series of peels. 

Vitalize Peel

While the Vitalize peel is also considered to be a light peel, it is slightly stronger than the Illuminize peel. This makes it a better option for those who are trying to rid their skin of fine lines, discoloration, acne scars, and other blemishes. This treatment stimulates collagen production, improves pigmentation, and helps you achieve younger-looking skin. 

The Vitalize peel works with all skin types and requires little downtime. If you are looking for more noticeable benefits, this peel might be the right choice for you. You will notice improvements in your skin after the first treatment, but a series of treatments can provide you with even better results. 

A chemical peel is a great way to give your face a refreshed and renewed look. This is a facial treatment that can provide you with great results and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Our dermatologists will be able to help you determine which chemical peel is right for your skin and your desired results.
