What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels in Beverly Hills are skin rejuvenation treatments that use carefully selected exfoliating acids to remove damaged outer skin cells and stimulate healthy skin renewal. As older, dull skin is shed, fresher skin emerges with improved texture, tone, and radiance. At Dr. Behrooz Torkian’s practice, we offer medical-grade SkinMedica® peels that can be customized to address a wide range of concerns while supporting natural-looking, refreshed results.

Types of SkinMedica Peels Available

Illuminize Peel

The Illuminize Peel is the gentlest SkinMedica option and is ideal for first-time peel patients or those with mild skin concerns. Formulated to improve skin clarity, brightness, and overall radiance, it delivers a refreshed appearance with little to no visible peeling and minimal interruption to daily activities afterward.

Vitalize Peel

The Vitalize Peel is formulated for patients with mild to moderate skin imperfections, including fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and sun damage. This medium-depth peel promotes noticeable skin renewal while remaining well-tolerated. Most patients experience visible peeling for several days as healthier, smoother, and more even-toned skin emerges.

Rejuvenize Peel

The Rejuvenize Peel is the strongest SkinMedica peel available and is intended for moderate to severe skin concerns. It targets deeper wrinkles, more pronounced discoloration, and advanced signs of sun damage. With greater penetration comes more significant peeling, helping reveal smoother texture, improved tone, and enhanced overall skin quality.

Chemical Peels Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a chemical peel treatment take?

Most chemical peels in Beverly Hills can be completed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The exact treatment time depends on the type of SkinMedica peel selected and your individual skin concerns. Because the procedure is performed in the office, many patients find it easy to incorporate into a busy schedule.

When will I see results from a chemical peel?

You may notice brighter, smoother skin shortly after treatment, particularly with lighter peels. However, the most noticeable improvements often develop after the peeling process is complete and new skin emerges. The results continue to improve as skin renewal and collagen production progress over the following weeks.

How many chemical peel treatments will I need?

The answer depends on your goals and the condition of your skin. Some patients achieve meaningful improvement with a single treatment, while others benefit from a customized series of peels. During your consultation, Dr. Torkian will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your concerns, skin type, and desired outcome.

Will my skin peel after treatment?

The degree of peeling varies based on the peel selected. Illuminize Peel generally produces little to no visible peeling, while Vitalize Peel and Rejuvenize Peel typically cause several days of flaking or peeling. Even if visible peeling is minimal, the skin renewal process is still taking place beneath the surface.
