Choosing the right facial peel in Boulder depends on your specific skin goals, tolerance for downtime, and budget. At Skin Care With Dory, we offer a range of professional-grade peels designed to address everything from dullness to deep textural issues. Understanding the cost and benefits of each option helps you select the treatment that best fits your skin care journey.
1. Truth Comprehensive Chemical Peel
Cost: $175 per 45-minute session.
This treatment utilizes Truth Treatment Systems, a line created by pharmacists and certified nutritionists. The peel is designed with strict performance compatibility with your skin's biochemistry. It signals fibroblasts to improve collagen and elastin production while supporting deep cellular health.
2. BioRePeel CL3
Cost: $300 per 45-minute session.
BioRePeel CL3 is a European technology that produces immediate results for all skin types. It stimulates collagen, elastin, and fibroblast activity without causing actual sheet peeling. This means there is no trauma, pain, or downtime, making it a popular choice for those who need to return to work immediately.
3. Enzyme Peels
Cost: Included in standard facial packages.
An enzyme peel is a gentle exfoliation method that uses natural enzymes to break down dead skin cells. Unlike chemical peels, enzyme peels do not rely on acids to remove the outer layer. They are ideal for sensitive skin or those new to professional exfoliation, providing a brighter complexion with minimal irritation.
4. No Downtime Chemical Peels
Cost: Varies by specific formulation, often part of custom facials.
A no downtime chemical peel is a lighter treatment designed so that others will not notice you had a procedure. You still receive the benefits of exfoliation and renewal, but the skin does not visibly flake or peel heavily. This option is perfect for gradual improvement without social disruption.
5. 5% Lactic Acid + Collagen Serum
6. Nano-Needling with Vitamin A Infusion
Cost: $125 for one zone, $225 for two zones.
Nano-needling is a non-invasive technique that uses a pen-like device to drive products deep into the skin. It is often combined with a Vitamin A infusion, which acts as a non-acid peel to generate collagen production over 30 days. This method enhances the penetration of custom peptides and stem cells for a significant glow.
7. Triple Threat Treatment
Cost: Customized based on combination of services.
The Triple Threat is a four-step skin rejuvenation protocol that combines microneedling or Jet Plasma with BioRePeel and SERA Mesotherapy. It finishes with red LED therapy to reduce inflammation and encourage collagen production. This comprehensive approach addresses fine lines, acne, and photo-aging more effectively than individual treatments alone.
Choosing the Right Peel for Your Skin
Selecting the correct peel requires a professional assessment of your skin's current condition and your long-term goals. If you are sensitive to acids, start with an enzyme peel or a no downtime chemical peel. For deeper textural changes, consider the BioRePeel CL3 or the Truth Comprehensive Chemical Peel. At Skin Care With Dory, Dory Johnson performs a detailed consultation to determine which peel option will yield the safest and most effective results for your unique skin profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a chemical peel?
Most chemical peels are suggested every 14 to 28 days, depending on the strength of the peel and your skin's recovery rate. Your esthetician will provide a specific schedule based on your skin's response to the initial treatment.
Is there downtime after a BioRePeel CL3?
No, BioRePeel CL3 is designed to have zero downtime. It stimulates collagen and cellular turnover without causing the skin to visibly peel or flake, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately.
What is the difference between an enzyme peel and a chemical peel?
An enzyme peel uses natural enzymes to gently dissolve dead skin cells, making it suitable for sensitive skin. A chemical peel uses acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, which can provide more dramatic results but may require a short recovery period.
Can I combine a peel with other treatments?
Yes, peels can often be combined with other treatments like LED light therapy or nano-needling to enhance results. For example, the Triple Threat treatment combines a peel with microneedling and mesotherapy for comprehensive rejuvenation.
