January is the perfect time to refresh your skin after the holiday season. With less sun exposure during winter, it’s ideal for chemical peel treatments. Whether you’re dealing with acne, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, a customized chemical peel can help you achieve glowing, healthy skin. Let’s explore the different chemical peel types and find the perfect match for your skin concerns.
A chemical peel is a treatment that uses medical-grade solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin. According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, this controlled exfoliation reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath.
Your skin naturally sheds old cells through exfoliation. A chemical peel speeds up this process by breaking down the bonds between skin cells on the upper layer. As the peel is removed, older cells lift away, revealing new, rejuvenated skin that heals and regenerates. The result is smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking skin with fewer imperfections.
At First Ave Medical Spa, our expert skin clinicians assess your present skin condition and listen to your goals before selecting the perfect peel for you individually.
We offer an extensive choice of medical-grade peels, each working uniquely to deliver bespoke outcomes. Here are our most popular chemical peel types:
Renew 30 Peel contains 30% lactic acid to decrease visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. This alpha hydroxy acid peel exfoliates dead skin cells, boosts skin turnover, and targets fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and large pores.
Glow Peel is a light, brightening solution combining 7% lactic acid, 7% salicylic acid, and 7% resorcinol. It improves aging signs, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring with minimal downtime. This peel can be customized in strength by the number of layers applied.
Power Glow Peel is our most powerful brightening solution with 14% lactic acid, 14% salicylic acid, and 14% resorcinol. It effectively minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
BHA 20 features 20% salicylic acid, perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. It improves texture by exfoliating within pores and reduces pimples.
If you struggle with acne, you’re not alone. The Canadian Dermatology Association reports that 5.6 million Canadians are affected by acne. A chemical peel for acne can clear breakouts and prevent future ones.
Our BHA 20 peel with salicylic acid is especially effective because it penetrates oil-filled pores. It unclogs blocked follicles, reduces inflammation, and minimizes acne scarring. According to Health Canada, salicylic acid is a proven peeling agent for treating acne. Visit our services page to learn more.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity. A chemical peel for aging skin Vancouver residents choose can help turn back the clock. The Toronto Dermatology Centre, one of Canada’s largest peel treatment centres, confirms that chemical peels effectively reduce fine lines and sun damage.
Our Renew 30 and Power Glow peels are excellent choices for aging concerns. They stimulate skin renewal and boost cell turnover, resulting in firmer, smoother texture. Check out our skin care blog for more anti-aging tips.
Dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone respond beautifully to our customized chemical peel treatments. Our AHA Duo combines 20% lactic acid and 10% glycolic acid to exfoliate dead cells and improve texture and tone.
The Glow Peel specifically targets age spots, discolouration, and uneven skin tone. For darker skin tones, our experts customize peel strength to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Learn more about our approach.
Winter is prime time for chemical peels in Vancouver. The BC Cancer Foundation emphasizes sun protection after skin treatments. Reduced UV exposure during winter makes protecting your healing skin easier.
Medical-grade peels are usually applied to the face but also work beautifully on the neck, chest, and back. Most clients require several treatments for optimal results.
