Chemical Peels & Medical Facials

Juva Skin and Laser Center provides chemical peels, medical-grade facials, and microdermabrasion to address uneven skin tone, acne, hyperpigmentation, and dull texture. Treatment options include the VI Body Peel, targeted acne and rosacea facials, and customized peel protocols suited to individual skin types. All treatments are performed in a clinical dermatology setting with physician oversight.

Chemical peels and medical facials at Juva Skin and Laser Center are performed in a clinical dermatology setting, distinguishing them from spa-grade treatments in terms of formulation strength, protocol sophistication, and the medical oversight available from Dr. Bruce Katz's practice. The center's aestheticians and clinical staff offer a range of peel depths and facial protocols calibrated to each patient's skin type, tolerance level, and treatment objectives. The VI Peel is a popular medium-depth chemical peel formulated with a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. The multi-acid blend achieves collagen stimulation and cellular turnover at a depth that improves sun-damaged skin, softens fine lines, reduces acne-related hyperpigmentation, and evens skin tone — with visible improvements after a single peel and progressive enhancement with a series. The VI Body Peel extends these benefits to the chest, back, and arms for patients with body acne or widespread sun damage. Superficial chemical peels using glycolic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, or lactic acid address mild texture irregularities, clogged pores, and early hyperpigmentation with minimal downtime — typically redness for a day followed by subtle flaking. These lighter peels are suitable for regular maintenance between deeper resurfacing treatments and can be customized to address acne-prone, sensitive, or rosacea-affected skin. Microdermabrasion provides mechanical exfoliation using a diamond-tip handpiece to remove the outermost stratum corneum layer, immediately improving dull, uneven surface texture and enhancing the absorption of active skincare products. It is a comfortable, no-downtime procedure appropriate for most skin types and ages. Medical-grade facials at Juva incorporate prescription-strength active ingredients, clinical extractions, and evidence-based protocols that go beyond what is available at standard beauty spas. For patients managing acne, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation, targeted facial treatments combine enzymatic cleansing, chemical exfoliation, and therapeutic actives to reduce breakouts, redness, and pigmentary changes over a course of regular visits.
