Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels offer many benefits, including:

• Diminished fine lines around the eyes and mouth
• Improvement in the appearance of mild scars
• Improvement in certain types of acne
• A reduction in age spots, freckles, and dark patches
• Smoother skin
• More even skin tone

Are Chemical Peels painful?

Most of the peels we use at Rêvée you will experience some slight tingling and stinging but this is mild. We do offer deeper, more intense peels that will cause more temporary discomfort if that is indicated for your skin type.

Types of Facial Peels

At our Richmond office, we offer a variety of chemical peels depending on our patient’s skin. These include:

• ZO Stimulator Peel $200
• VI Peels $350

The Stimulator Peel

Have you ever stopped and wondered at how celebrities look so flawless on the red carpet? It is more than likely they have discovered the secrets of a revolutionary chemical peel from Obagi’s ZO Health line- and now you too can be in on the secret!

It’s called the ZO Ossential® Stimulator Peel and it works its magic in just minutes. It’s quick, easy and it can be done during your lunch hour to miraculously smooth away fine to moderate lines and wrinkles, acne, age spots, uneven pigmentation, and rough skin texture.

The Ossential® Stimulator Peel exfoliates the skin by stimulating cellular turnover- which leads to improved skin tone, texture, and clarity. All of that with no downtime, peeling or redness afterward- just glowing healthy skin.

Benefits of Stimulator Peel

This peel is often referred to as the “Red Carpet Peel” due to the large and growing number of celebrities that use it to look FABULOUS before the paparazzi start snapping photos as they walk down the red carpet at major Hollywood events. These celebrities can’t afford the downtime that some other peels cause.

The Ossential® Stimulator Peel is gentle on the skin but strong enough to make a noticeable difference, brightening and refreshing the face for that youthful, dewy look.

The Ossential® Stimulator Peel contains 3 different acids known as AHA or Alpha Hydroxy acids. They act in concert to dissolve dead skin cells, promote cell turnover and increase moisture to the skin. Lactic acid helps to brighten and lighten the skin and clear out toxins and debris. Citric acid is perfect for giving skin an even healthy glow.

With just one peel you will look refreshed and have a healthy glow. To achieve maximum benefits, a series of four to six peels at two-week intervals is recommended.

VI Peel

The VI peel contains a blend of powerful ingredients that improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin. If you are looking for healthier, firmer, more youthful skin, Rêvée now offers the VI peel for patients in Richmond, VA. Click here to learn more about the VI peel!

How many Chemical Peels will I need?

The number of peels necessary is dependent on the condition of your skin. Speak with your esthetician to get a treatment plan. The frequency of peels is determined by depth. Some peels can be performed weekly, others require 6 weeks between.
