CHEMICAL PEEL

Transform Your Skin With Exfoliating Solutions in Portland and Lake Oswego. We all want smooth, glowing skin, but a daily accumulation of dead cells, oil, debris, pollution and more can cover our natural glow and create an overall dry and dull look instead.

Ready to reveal that radiance once again? You can with chemical peels! Portland and Lake Oswego’s Fresh Faces Rx offers customized chemical peel treatments to effectively tackle a wide range of skin concerns.

Whether you are aiming to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, or diminish acne scars, we can tailor a peel to help you achieve beautiful results. We use the VI Peel or ZO 3-Step Peel based on your skin’s needs.

Chemical peels are skin resurfacing treatments that involve the application of a carefully chosen blend of chemicals to exfoliate the skin’s surface layer. These chemicals work by breaking down the bonds between skin cells, encouraging the old, superficial skin layers to peel away and reveal the fresh, younger-looking skin underneath.

Peels come in different strengths, ranging from superficial to deep, and they can be customized to address your individual skin concerns and desired results. From gently brightening the complexion to tackling deep wrinkles and severe pigmentation, chemical peels have diverse applications for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

If you have cosmetic skin concerns, chances are good that a peel can help. Peels address fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation (including age spots and melasma), acne and acne scars, rough skin texture, the appearance of enlarged pores, and more.

VI Peel

The VI Peel contains a blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and other minerals, all combined with an aim to improve skin texture and tone. Application is generally quick and simple. The solution is applied to the skin and left for a certain amount of time before being washed off.

ZO Three-Step Peel

This peel contains a blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, and lactic acid, along with other ingredients like saponins and glycerin. It’s known for its deeper penetration and stronger effects. The ZO Three-Step Peel involves a more complex procedure that includes an initial peel application, followed by an at-home treatment using a retinol-based cream to enhance the peeling and rejuvenation process.

The choice between these two chemical peels depends on specific skin concerns, desired results, and an individual’s skin type.
