SkinMedica Chemical Peels remove the dull, dead, top layer of skin cells, revealing the smoother, younger, brighter layer of skin cells that lies beneath.
If you would like to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation, or scars schedule a SkinMedica Chemical Peel at Silkey Skin MD in Kaysville, UT. Our skilled and caring medical estheticians will help you get glowing, healthy, “Silkey” skin in our luxurious and pampering medical spa.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes. Since both peels are gentler than others, they bring positive results on the face and other body parts. Even sensitive areas like the chest are safe.
Both chemical peels absorb into the outer layers of the skin. As they dry, agitation causes the visible layer to fall away and leave behind fresh, clear, healthy skin.
Silkey Skin MD has great experience performing chemical treatments. Illuminize and Rejuvenize are two of the safest and gentlest peels available.
A first-time chemical peel patient with mild skin problems is a prime candidate for Illuminize. A patient with more severe imperfections will appreciate the benefits of Rejuvenize.
There are no pre-treatments necessary with Illuminize or Rejuvenize. However, it is advised to avoid irritating products one week prior to visiting Silkey Skin MD. As the procedure nears, our expert staff will inform you of how to prepare for either treatment.
It takes less than 20 minutes to apply Illuminize. Upon initial contact, the skin may feel warm, but it is possible to resume normal activities immediately. Rejuvenize application takes minutes as well. However, it is necessary to wash the face after six hours. All patients receive instruction for aftercare from our certified skin care experts.
Since both chemical peels are considered gentle, there is little pain associated with either treatment. However, it is not uncommon to feel a slight tingle during application.
Since Illuminize does not cause peeling, makeup may mask side effects. On the other hand, Rejuvenize will cause peeling that cannot be covered by cosmetics. Instead, it is recommended to apply moisturizer.
There is usually no recovery associated with Illuminize. Besides mild redness, no other side effects occur. Peeling with Rejuvenize usually happens two days after treatment and lasts up to a week. To care for treated skin, it is advised to wear sunscreen, use a gentle cleanser, and moisturize. Both treatments bring rejuvenated and youthful looking skin.
After both peels, a person can immediately return to work. However, a patient may opt to remain at home when the Rejuvenize treatment begins to peel.
Proper aftercare elongates results from both chemical peels. Thanks to the deep exfoliation of Rejuvenize, results may last several months. To maintain optimum benefits, cumulative treatments are recommended. Illuminize can be repeated every two weeks, and Rejuvenize can be repeated every six weeks.
A patient sees immediate results following both chemical peels. Skin will appear tight and radiant.
During a consultation with Silkey Skin MD, each patient’s personal circumstances will be considered before any treatment is performed. In general, neither peel should be used on patients with open wounds, sunburn, excessively sensitive skin, or other skin conditions. Also, anyone who has recently taken Accutane for acne or received cancer treatments should avoid both treatments. Pregnant women should stay away as well.
Although certain chemical treatments can be very expensive, Illuminize and Rejuvenize procedures are quite affordable. To make things easier, we provide numerous payment options.
Our practice accepts cash, checks, and credit cards. To help patients fit treatments into individual budgets, we try to create special payment plans for extra convenience.
