BRIGHTENING PEEL
(formerly called "Lunchtime Facial")
This is a low-to-no-downtime superficial medical grade glycolic acid peel. Glycolic Acid is a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid and is naturally derived from sugar cane. Its superficial skin penetration allows for exfoliation of the skin without excessive redness allowing you to return to work or go about your day with radiant skin, which is why we nickname this our "lunch time facial". Good for acne, aging skin, dehydrated skin, pigment problems and acne. The treatment takes 45 minutes from start to finish. We start with a gentle cleansing followed by skin analysis to determine the strength of peel. Once the strength is determined we apply the peel and you will feel a "stingly" feeling. The peel is left on for about 2-3 minutes and then it is neutralized with buffered water and cool compresses are applied. LED light therapy is delivered through the FDA approved Light Stim to decrease inflammation. Then the EltaMD AAComplex Technology Skin Recovery System is applied to help repair, renew, and protect the skin.

What is Light Stim?
Proven Light Therapy
Also called Low Level Light Therapy or Red Light Therapy, LightStim LED light therapy delivers light energy to humans similar to the way plants absorb photons of light produced by the sun. Each LightStim device emits a unique combination of distinctly colored LED lights customized for either Anti-Aging, Acne or Pain. The various colors correspond to the different beneficial wavelengths of light. Studies have shown that low level light therapy can stimulate the body’s cells, activating their own natural processes for healing, rejuvenation and optimal function.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)?
TCA is a peeling agent that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can be used at low concentrations for superficial peels such as the Sensi and Ultra Peels, or at higher concentrations for medium depth peels such as the MD Peel. It is an analog of acetic acid. TCA breaks down proteins to exfoliate the skin, allowing fresh, youthful-looking cells to rise to the surface. This triggers a healing response in the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
What is Lactic Acid?
Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally found in milk and sugars. it releases the desomosomes that hold skin cells together, allowing for easier exfoliation and has a moisturizing effect on skin. Since it penetrates the skin slowly, it is a more gentle means of exfoliation and reduces the possibility of irritation.It additionally suppresses the formation of tyrosinase which is an enzyme responsible for melanin production.
What is Emblica?
Emblica a botanical derived from the Malacca tree and is also known as Indian gooseberry. It provides antioxidant protection and improvement in skin discoloration by reducing the cascade formed from the free radical activity and UV exposure.
What is Silymarin?
Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant that provides anti-inflammatory benefits and protects against UVA induced oxidative stress. It reduces the damaging effects of UVB radiation and inhibits photoaging. It is derived from milk thistle seeds
What is Alpha-lipoic Acid?
Alpha-lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid, is an antioxidant that has shown promise for melanin suppression, skin rejuvenation, and increased cell turnover. It is a naturally-occurring compound that interferes with internal pathways of hyperpigmentation.
