Chemical Peels

Request Your Consultation

At The Spa at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery in Glen Carbon, we offer an assortment of medical-grade chemical peels for our patients from Maryville, Edwardsville, and the St. Louis area who want to improve the appearance and texture of their skin.

Epionce Peels

• Sal-e – Penetrates deep to relieve clogged pores, while also loosening dead skin cells and reducing sebum secretion that causes breakouts. 
• Mal-e – Creates a more even skin tone and smoother skin texture. Hydrates the skin to minimize wrinkles and fine lines while also adding necessary hydration to the skin.
• Lite Peel Refresh – Improves overall skin clarity and texture by decongesting clogged pores and leaving behind a fresh and hydrated finish.

SkinCeuticals Peels

• 30% Glycolic – Glycolic acid helps to clear pores, smooth fine wrinkles, improve skin tone, fade dark patches and sun damage, and hydrate skin for a more youthful appearance.
• 30% Salicylic – salicylic acid helps to purify and exfoliate, which improves skin health and appearance. Salicylic acid is particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin. Helping the skin to shed dead cells from the top layer and decreasing redness and swelling (inflammation). This decreases the number of pimples that form and speeds healing.
• TCA – Good for comedonal acne lesions open (blackheads) and closed (whiteheads).

PCA SKIN Peels

PCA SKIN’s formulation philosophy is to take on each skin condition with products combining the newest and most effective ingredients paired with proven, tried and true ingredients to create unparalleled, visible results.

VI Peels

The VI Peel offers a non-invasive approach to healthier, younger looking skin with very little downtime. VI Peels are suitable for all skin types and will help with acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and pore size.

The first two days of the peel you will not peel. The peeling process will begin on the third day and will be completed within one week. The Spa at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery offers the following VI Peels:

• VI Peel
• VI Precision Plus
• VI Purify

Phenol Peels

Phenol peels are used for reversing sun damage, treating acne scarring, reducing deeper lines and wrinkles, removing hyper-pigmentation, liver spots and other visible signs of aging. Phenol peels are so powerful that only one treatment is necessary to achieve dramatic results that last for years and are typically done in conjunction with facelift surgery (as seen below).

Since the procedure typically results in definite swelling, patients are advised to allow for at least a week of at home recovery. Phenol Peels will be performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Ryan Diederich.
