SkinMedica Chemical Peels for Smoother, More Even Skin Tone and Texture

If you’re looking for a treatment that’s more powerful than an at-home skincare routine, but you’re not quite ready for laser resurfacing, why not try chemical peels? SkinMedica® chemical peels use medical-grade skincare ingredients to remove dead skin, improve skin cell turnover, treat signs of aging, and even stimulate collagen production. As a result, they can help your complexion appear more uniform and renewed, taking years off your appearance.

SkinMedica® Professional-Grade Chemical Peels at Artemedica

At Artemedica, we offer medical-grade chemical peels from the top brand SkinMedica®. SkinMedica professional-grade peels are designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime. SkinMedica chemical peels are clinically tested to help reduce the appearance of:

  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Sun Damage
  • Acne and Acne Scarring
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended.

Find the Perfect Peel for Your Skin Type and Goals

Each of our SkinMedica chemical peels offers a different level of intensity, so you can choose the one that best suits your skin type and goals. Whether you’re looking for a light refresh or a deeper transformation, there’s a peel for you.

Explore the options below to find your perfect match:

Illuminize Peel: Gentle


SkinMedica’s Illuminize chemical peel is our most gentle treatment and perfect for first-time patients or those with sensitive skin. It’s so gentle, you won’t even experience visible peeling! It provides a brightening, tightening, and refreshed glow.

This superficial peel treatment uses a novel approach to chemical peels with alpha-hydroxy acids combined with phytic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to maximize results with little irritation. The Illuminize helps reveal vibrant, radiant-looking skin that is more even both in tone and texture.  

Plus, because this treatment has little to no visible peeling or downtime, you can even have it done the same day as a major event or occasion.

Vitalize Peel: Medium

The Vitalize chemical peel is the most popular peel from the SkinMedica line and is ideal for all skin types. It improves sun damage, fine lines, acne, acne scarring, and melasma, with mild peeling and a smoother, brighter complexion.

Vitalize peels use three powerful ingredients: lactic acid, resorcinol, and salicylic acid, to treat wrinkles and fine lines caused by sun damage and aging, as well as hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture caused by acne scarring and melasma. This chemical peel also stimulates collagen production deep in the skin, so your results get even better with time. 

Because the Vitalize chemical peel is more powerful than the Illuminize, you will experience some peeling and redness afterwards. This should last no longer than 7 days. During this time, you will want to limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and avoid irritating skin care products.

Rejuvenate Peel: Strongest

The Rejuvenate chemical peel is SkinMedica’s deepest chemical peel, designed to smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture. It penetrates deep into the skin to treat sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and other moderate to severe imperfections.

The Rejuvenate chemical peel uses an advanced combination of peeling agents, including: lactic acid, salicylic acid, resorcinol, and a high concentration of retinol. This treatment is best suited for those with moderate to severe skin imperfections like serious sun damage, severe melasma and hyperpigmentation, as well as deep-set wrinkles.  

Because this is our most powerful chemical peel, you should expect some downtime and recovery. Peeling and redness may last up to 2 weeks. During recovery, you will want to limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and avoid irritating skin care products.

I had a wonderful experience today at Artemedica Spa. Sarah Faustine was extremely helpful and professional.

Amber B. Testimonial

I had horrible acne as a teenager and now in my twenties, I have the “acne aftermath”…pitted scarring. I met with the Aesthetician at Artemedica regarding the Derma Pen treatment. She explained the procedure to me in detail, while we discussed what results to expect as well. After doing six Derma Pen treatments my overall skin texture has changed completely. Finally for the first time in my life, I have smooth skin! My scarring is barely noticeable now. Thank you Artemedica!

Jessica W. Testimonial

Thank you so much for my clear complexion! My face has never been this “normal”. Absolutely amazing. What a beautiful Relief!

Elaine Testimonial

I had a wonderful experience with my Pico laser treatment! The procedure was surprisingly comfortable and virtually painless with the numbing cream. I experienced only slight redness and a little swelling afterward, with no crusting or peeling in the days that followed. I’m absolutely loving the results! My skin is glowing, the texture has improved, and fine lines have noticeably softened. My complexion looks fresher, smoother, and more refreshed. I’m so happy with the results and would highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to improve their skin’s overall appearance and rejuvenate their complexion!

Ghanadi Yazdee Google Review

I’m in town for a month and wanted to get microneedling done, they scheduled me with Claire, she was absolutely amazing!! I’m not someone who leaves reviews, but hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had at a med spa. From the front desk to the treatment room. Already planning to come back next time I’m in town!

Sarah Bernhard Google Review

From the moment you step into Artemedica you feel welcome. The women at the front desk are extremely friendly. I came in for microneedling and Botox. My first stop was with Nicole who did my micro needling. She’s extremely friendly and takes the time to go over everything I would need to know as this was my first time getting this done. She made me feel very comfortable and took time to answer my questions. I then went over and saw Dr Chiang. She also is so friendly and so nice. She makes you feel so comfortable with what ever I needed answered. She injected my Daxxify. She took care of my problem areas as well as my neck. I am so pleased with my results.
