Chemical Peels

in Los Angeles, California

Refined Skin. Restored Clarity. Gentle Rebuilding from Within.

At Renova Med Spa, we believe in guiding your skin toward renewal through chemical peels. Our approach is safe, deliberate, and purposeful, focusing on lifting away damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen, smoothing texture, and revealing underlying clarity.

We proudly offer the VI Peel, a medical-grade, medium-depth peel. This versatile treatment is highly effective for various concerns, including acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven tone, and can be applied to the face, neck, and chest.

Peeling gently coaxes your skin to release what it no longer needs, while providing the resources for renewal and rebuilding.

How It Works Beneath the Surface

Your skin comprises several layers. The outermost layer is the epidermis, which acts as a protective barrier. Beneath the epidermis is the dermis, home to collagen, elastin, and capillaries.

A chemical peel works by applying a controlled solution to the skin that loosens and dissolves dead or damaged skin cells at the top. As these cells shed over several days, new, healthier cells take their place. But the effects do not stop at the surface.

Inside the dermis, ingredients like retinoic acid and TCA stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and support the skin’s immune response. This process addresses visible concerns like discoloration, roughness, and breakouts, while also targeting underlying issues such as inflammation, cellular turnover, and pigment dysfunction.

The result is skin that behaves more youthfully, heals more efficiently, and appears visibly clearer and more refined.

What It Can Address

The VI Peel is highly effective for a broad range of concerns:

  • Hyperpigmentation: including melasma, sun spots, freckles, and uneven tone
  • Acne: reduces active breakouts and clears pore congestion
  • Post-acne marks: fades red or brown spots from old blemishes
  • Fine lines: softens early signs of aging
  • Textural irregularities: improves rough patches, bumps, and dullness
  • Loss of radiance: refreshes tired or devitalized skin
  • Large pores: helps refine texture over time
  • Inflamed or reactive skin: calms and resets the skin barrier when used correctly

Treatment Areas

We use the VI Peel on more than just the face. It is safe and effective on:

Face

- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Around the mouth
- Jawline and temples
Common concerns: acne, melasma, fine lines, texture

Neck

Chest (décolletage)

Hands (available upon request)

We assess your skin in each of these areas and tailor your peel application based on thickness, sensitivity, and severity of concerns.

The VI Peel

The VI Peel is a medium-depth, blended peel that uses a combination of powerful yet balanced ingredients:

  • TCA (trichloroacetic acid): exfoliates outer layers and stimulates collagen
  • Retinoic acid (Vitamin A): speeds up cell turnover and clears congested pores
  • Salicylic acid: breaks down oil and debris inside the pores
  • Phenol: numbs the skin and enhances deeper penetration
  • Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): brightens, protects, and strengthens the skin
  • Kojic Acid: Acts as a skin lightener to reduce hyperpigmentation
  • Benzoyl Peroxide: Clears bacteria and reduces pore-clogging residues
  • Hydrocortisone: Reduces inflammation and itching during the healing process

These ingredients are combined in various doses depending on your skin profile.

The VI Peel ideal for patients seeking results that go beyond surface exfoliation. It works at both the epidermal and dermal levels, improving color, clarity, and collagen in a single session.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Peels can be performed as a one-time refresh or as part of a series. For deeper issues such as melasma, acne scarring, or more extensive pigmentation, a series of three to six peels spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended.

For maintenance, most patients return once every three or four months to preserve results and keep skin fresh and responsive.
