Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are used to accelerate the process of skin shedding by either breaking through the skin cell wall causing cellular death or by destroying the bonds which hold individual cells together. In general, chemical exfoliation of dead skin cells helps to reveal softer, healthier skin. At IMI Clinics we offer a variety of peels to treat a wide array of skin conditions.
SkinCeuticals Peel
Glycolic 20% or 30%
- A medium chemical peel goes deeper than the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and reaches the upper portion of the inner layer (dermis), known as the papillary dermis. This results in a final depth of about 0.45 to 0.60 millimeters within the skin.
Salicylic 20% or 30%
- Struggling with adult breakouts and fine lines? Salicylic acid can be a double threat, helping to prevent acne formation and smooth the appearance of wrinkles.
TCA 15%
- Want smoother, brighter skin with less downtime? This TCA peel can minimize fine lines, fade dark spots, and improve your skin’s tone and texture – all in a short recovery period.

Jessner’s solutions contain a combination of resorcinol, salicylic acid, and lactic acid to exfoliate, oxygenate, and detoxify skin while helping to catalyze cellular metabolic functions.
TCA (buffered): $
- Trichloracetic acid (TCA) is a non-toxic chemical that is applied to the skin that causes the top layers of cells to dry up and peel off over a period of several days. TCA peels offer dramatic results and effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and acne scars. When the old skin is peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin, which has a smoother texture and more even color. TCA peels are a good option if you have melasma which is typically one of the most difficult skin conditions to treat effectively.
Vitamin A: $
- Vitamin A peels are used to improve skin health and to restore a healthy glow. Like retinol, vitamin A is a potent anti-ager. This peel stimulates skin renewal and builds collagen reserves. Vitamin A peels are also an effective acne treatment, decongests blocked pores, decreases hyperpigmentation, and reduces outbreaks of keratosis pilaris.
