The Illuminize Peel by SkinMedica is a non-invasive treatment that can help restore a more youthful appearance to your face by improving the skin’s clarity and texture. It can be performed quickly in a 15-20 minute treatment with no down time or visible peeling after the treatment. It’s often referred to as a “party peel” because it’s a great treatment to do before you have a special occasion coming up and want your skin looking its best.
What is a skin peel?
A skin peel uses chemicals to improve your skin’s appearance by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, usually on the face. Skin peels exfoliate damaged and thickened skin. The process also stimulates the production of collagen which will result in firmer skin. The ideal result is that your skin will appear smooth and glowing, just like when it was younger. Peels can also reduce the size of pores, wrinkles and other age-related lines.
The downside is that many skin peels use concentrated chemicals to get deep into the skin to correct flaws. Many times these deep peels will cause redness and skin flaking for several days after the procedure.
What makes Illuminize different?
It’s a multi-acid, multi-enzyme light peel that is not meant for long term skin care, but is a fantastic peel to get right before an important event. If you want to rejuvenate your skin and give it some extra glow for a special occasion, you can get this peel only a day or two before the event. You can apply make-up the same day as you have the peel without any irritation whatsoever.
The peel will take off enough of the dead and bad cells on the surface that it will make your skin look healthy and radiant. You can do it whenever you want with no preparation needed beforehand, and you can have another refreshing peel in just a couple of weeks’ time if desired.
The perfect candidates are people who are looking for immediate results and don’t care as much about long-term treatment. You can always mix and match peels to provide both immediate and long term skin care.
If you have a special occasion coming up and are thinking that you might be interested in some facial rejuvenation to look your best, you need to consider the Illuminize Peel.
