Vitalize Chemical Peel

Smooth, Brighten, and Rejuvenate with Minimal Downtime

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we offer the SkinMedica® Vitalize Peel—a medium-depth chemical peel that improves skin tone, refines texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and acne-related discoloration. This clinically proven treatment provides powerful results with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for those seeking visible skin renewal without aggressive peeling or extended recovery.

Conveniently located in Cornelius, NC, we serve patients from Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and the greater Lake Norman area.

What Is the Vitalize Peel?

The Vitalize Peel by SkinMedica is a professional-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that uses a blend of retinoic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to exfoliate the top layers of the skin. This stimulates cell turnover and encourages collagen production, helping to refresh the complexion and improve clarity.

It is safe for all skin types and tones and is especially popular for those dealing with:

Mild to moderate sun damage

Melasma or hyperpigmentation

Acne and post-acne discoloration

Early signs of aging, including fine lines and uneven tone

How the Vitalize Peel Helps

Smooths rough patches and refines the skin’s surface

Gently brightens dark spots and blotchy areas over time

Clears congested pores and reduces acne-related discoloration

Boosts cell turnover to reveal a healthier, more radiant glow

Softens fine lines and supports collagen stimulation

What to Expect After Your Peel

After treatment, you can expect:

Mild redness and tightness on day 1

Light to moderate flaking or peeling typically starting around day 2–3

Skin renewal completed by day 5–7, depending on skin type

Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight following the peel, so daily SPF and gentle skincare are essential. Most patients notice visible improvement after just one treatment, but a series of peels spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

Is the Vitalize Peel Right for You?

This medium-depth peel is a great fit for patients who:

Want visible improvement in skin clarity and texture

Reduces fine lines and surface discoloration

Need a stronger exfoliation than a facial but with less downtime than deep peels

Are prepping for a skincare reset or upcoming aesthetic treatment

While safe for most patients, we do not recommend chemical peels during pregnancy or for those with very sensitive or reactive skin. During your appointment, our team will review your medical history, skincare routine, and goals to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Vitalize Peel hurt?

Most patients experience a warm or tingling sensation during application. The peel is generally well-tolerated and completed in under 20 minutes.

How long does peeling last?

Peeling typically starts 2–3 days after treatment and resolves within 5–7 days. Peeling may be light or moderate, depending on your skin type and condition.

How often can I receive the peel?

We may recommend a series of 3–6 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart for best results. Maintenance treatments can be done every few months as part of your skincare routine.

Can I wear makeup after the peel?

Yes, but we recommend waiting until any peeling has subsided to avoid irritation. Gentle, non-comedogenic products are best.
