Medical Grade Chemical Peels

Hollywood Body Laser Center offers Medical Grade Chemical peels as quick and convenient way to enhance appearance and self confidence, and get a healthy glow with little or no downtime.

Chemical Peels have been used for decades to revitalize and resurface skin. They involve applying a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of skin and reveal a younger, clearer, more radiant complexion. Chemical peels, also known as "Lunchtime Peels" are traditionally performed on the face, hands, neck, back and shoulders, legs and other problem areas to treat fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and skin discoloration. Chemical peels are also effective in treating mild scarring and acne.

Treatments usually last from 15 to 20 minutes and are one of the most effective way to rejuvenate aging skin, and erase the marks of sun damage. Chemical peels may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne.

After treatment, the resulting regenerated skin is noticeably smoother and fresher in appearance.

At Hollywood Body Laser Center, we offer TCA, Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acid peels. The type of treatment which is right for you will be determined by you and your Hollywood Body Laser Center consultant to provide you with the greatest benefits.

Types of Peels We Offer:

Alphahydroxy acids (AHA) - such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids are the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels. These types of peels can provide smoother, brighter-looking skin for people who can't spare the time to recover from a phenol or TCA peel. AHA peels may be used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Alphahydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid, are often mixed with facial washes or creams in lesser concentrations as part of a daily skin-care regimen to improve the skin's texture.

Hollywood Body Laser Center also provides Physician's Choice of Arizona (PCA) peels including:

Salicylic acid – a beta-hydroxy acid, is found naturally in willow bark, wintergreen leaves, and sweet birch bark. Formulations containing high concentrations of salicylic acid help slough off dead cells and debris while stimulating the skin's natural renewal process.

Exfoliating Treatments These patented and proven light-to-medium peel formulas effectively exfoliate, bleach and inhibit pigment production. These peels help to repair and reduce breakouts, control oil, soften lines and provide a more even, smooth skin texture. PCA Peel ® exfoliating treatments are available in the following three formulas: 

Clarifying Mask Clarifying Mask's blend of 20% salicylic acid with natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents makes this an ideal choice for helping to improve acne, breakout prone skin and even sluggish and dull complexions. It brings new clarity and freshness to the skin. Clarifying Mask is appropriate for all skin types except for hypersensitive conditions.
