Illuminize and Rejuvenize Peels

Illuminize and Rejuvenize are two of the most gentle and comprehensive peels in the SkinMedica line. After one treatment, skin immediately has a heightened radiance that gets better with time. To even pigmentation, correct minor blemishes, and erase fine wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, these peels work well. Incorporating an Illuminize or Rejuvenize Peel into a skincare regime every few months will help maintain soft and youthful skin.

Illuminize and Rejuvenize Key Ingredients

For Top Skin Renewal

  • Salicylic Acid: exfoliates and lowers inflammation
  • Resorcinol: allows salicylic acid to penetrate deeper for longer and more dramatic effects
  • Panthenol: part of the vitamin B family that provides moisture
  • Isoceteth-20: creates a uniform peel while controlling the penetration of salicylic acid, which lowers skin irritation and brings optimal results
  • Retinol: vitamin A compound that increases collagen production

Both Illuminize and Rejuvenize offer advantages over other chemical peels. Besides a mild pinching sensation upon initial application, these treatments cause little pain. Neither peel requires downtime for recovery, so patients can quickly return to regular activity. Illuminize brings minor visible side effects, but Rejuvenize causes peeling after three days. Moisturizer may be applied to soothe the flaking skin. Since these chemical peels are less harsh than other treatments, they can be used on patients of multiple skin types and tones.

The Perfect Illuminize and Rejuvenize Candidate

Rejuvenize is an appropriate choice for patients affected with moderate to severe imperfections. This peel treats visible problems related to aging, sun exposure, and uneven pigmentation.

Illuminize should be used by patients who want to soften the look of fine wrinkles or minor sun damage. It is a smart choice for people who have never undergone other chemical peels. During an initial consultation with an expert from Silkey Skin MD, it is possible to create a customized treatment plan and achieve specific goals.

The Illuminize and Rejuvenize Peel Process

Following a consultation with a Silkey Skin MD esthetician, the chemical peel process can commence. Before treatment, it is vital to stay out of the sun and avoid skin irritation caused by hair removal techniques or other exfoliating products. A skin care specialist will clean the skin to get rid of remaining dirt and oil. The peeling solution will be placed over the face, and the treatment is completed in minutes. Rejuvenize is self-neutralizing. This means there is no chance of burning, and the chemicals can stay on the skin until they are washed away six hours later.

To maintain the health of your skin and assure success of the peel, it is recommended to use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for one week following treatment. Skin will be extremely sensitive after both procedures. It is possible to wear makeup following an Illuminize peel, but it is better to hold off on cosmetics for a few days following a Rejuvenize peel. With Rejuvenize, the skin will flake away three to five days after initial chemical application. To ease the process, moisturizer may be used.

The Illuminize and Rejuvenize Consultation

Before each treatment, Silkey Skin MD arranges a one-on-one consultation to examine the skin and document individual medical history. After discussing goals, a skilled expert explains chemical peel options and recommends the best treatment for healthy skin.

Results from an Illuminize or Rejuvenize Peel

Illuminize is a very gentle chemical peel, so patients rarely experience visible peeling. Following treatment, skin will have an extra glow and tightened appearance. Optimum results can be achieved following a series of six peels. Since Illuminize is not harsh, it can be repeated every two weeks.

Peeling from Rejuvenize generally begins 48 hours after chemical application and may last up to five days. Allowing skin to peel on its own will prevent scarring. For maximum comfort during healing, patients are advised to use a gentle cleanser, moisturize, and ice warm skin. In approximately one week, the skin will enjoy less fine lines and wrinkles, and texture and color will gain clarity as well. Since results are cumulative, it may be necessary to receive more than one treatment. Rejuvenize is commonly repeated every six weeks.

Possible Complications from Illuminize and Rejuvenize

Both Illuminize and Rejuvenize are less harsh than other chemical peels. Few complications are reported. Silkey Skin MD employs experienced individuals who understand and practice the safest techniques to refresh and rejuvenate the skin.

Minor side effects of Illuminize include slight redness a few hours following treatment. Rejuvenize is a stronger peel. Certain side effects are to be expected but only last a short time. For instance, the retinol ingredient may cause the skin to yellow, but this fades quickly. It is also common for redness and a warm sensation to flood the face a few days after the peel. Patients with sensitive skin may experience mild swelling around the eye area as well. During your initial consultation, your skin care specialist will explain all possible risks associated with Illuminize and Rejuvenize.
