Advanced Chemical Peel Treatment | Personalized Skin Resurfacing
The Rejuvenize Peel is an advanced professional chemical peel designed for patients with more noticeable skin imperfections, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone or texture.
Because it provides a more intensive level of resurfacing than lighter chemical peels, the Rejuvenize Peel may be considered for patients seeking more significant improvement in the appearance of their skin.
At Yolanda C. Holmes, M.D., P.C., Rejuvenize Peel treatments are provided by Hanna Mitchell, Master Aesthetician and Certified Laser Specialist, who has more than 25 years of experience in aesthetic skincare and treatments.
Hanna evaluates your skin, concerns, previous treatments, and goals to determine whether an advanced chemical peel is appropriate for you.
The Rejuvenize Peel is an advanced chemical peel designed to provide more intensive skin resurfacing than lighter peel options.
It may be recommended for patients with moderate to more significant concerns involving:
The treatment works through controlled chemical exfoliation, allowing damaged surface skin to shed and encouraging the development of fresher-looking skin.
Because this is a stronger peel, appropriate patient selection and aftercare are particularly important.
The Rejuvenize Peel may be considered when patients are looking for more significant improvement in the appearance of:
The peel can improve the appearance of certain superficial fine lines and wrinkles by resurfacing the skin and improving its texture.
It is not intended to replace treatments that address deeper wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement or significant volume loss.
Long-term sun exposure can contribute to uneven pigmentation, rough texture, fine lines, and premature skin aging.
The Rejuvenize Peel may help improve some of these visible surface changes.
Controlled exfoliation can help improve the appearance of uneven tone and certain superficial discoloration.
The treatment may help smooth rough or uneven areas of the skin by removing damaged surface cells.
Chemical peels may improve the appearance of some superficial acne scars and textural irregularities.
However, deeper acne scars may require other treatments, such as subcision or microneedling.

A chemical peel uses a professional solution to produce controlled exfoliation of the skin.
The Rejuvenize Peel works by affecting the outer layers of the skin and encouraging the treated skin to shed and renew.
As the skin recovers, patients may notice improvements in:
The treatment is more intensive than lighter chemical peel options, so visible peeling and recovery should be expected.
Before treatment, Hanna evaluates your skin and discusses your concerns, current skincare routine, previous cosmetic treatments, and desired results.
Your skin is cleansed and prepared before the peel solution is applied.
During treatment, you may experience:
The intensity of the sensation varies between patients.
Hanna will explain what to expect during treatment and provide instructions for caring for your skin afterward.
You may experience temporary stinging, warmth, or burning during the application of a chemical peel.
The level of discomfort depends on your individual sensitivity and the treatment being performed.
Because the Rejuvenize Peel is an advanced resurfacing treatment, the sensation may be more noticeable than with lighter peel options.
Hanna will discuss what to expect before your treatment.
Yes. The Rejuvenize Peel generally involves more noticeable recovery than lighter chemical peels.
After treatment, you may experience:
The amount and duration of peeling vary from person to person.
You should plan your schedule accordingly and follow your provider's aftercare instructions carefully.
Do not pick, pull, or manually remove peeling skin.
Results become more noticeable as the treated skin sheds and begins to renew.
During the recovery period, the skin may initially appear dry, tight, or irritated before the newer skin becomes visible.
Once the skin has recovered, you may notice:
The extent of improvement varies depending on your skin condition, treatment plan, and individual response.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and goals.
Some patients may benefit from one treatment, while others may be recommended a series of treatments.
Because the Rejuvenize Peel is a more intensive treatment, sessions should be appropriately spaced to allow the skin to recover.
Hanna can recommend a treatment schedule based on your individual needs.
Both are professional chemical peels, but the treatment intensity and ideal use can differ.
The Vitalize Peel may be appropriate for patients seeking improvement in concerns such as uneven tone, texture, fine lines, and visible signs of aging.
The Rejuvenize Peel is a more advanced resurfacing option that may be considered for patients with more noticeable skin imperfections, including moderate to more significant concerns involving wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture.
A stronger peel is not necessarily better for every patient.
The appropriate treatment depends on your skin and the degree of correction you are seeking.

The Illuminize Peel is a lighter option that may be appropriate for patients seeking a refreshed, brighter appearance with relatively mild skin concerns.
The Rejuvenize Peel is designed for a more intensive level of resurfacing and may be considered when patients have more significant concerns involving:
Your skin determines which treatment is appropriate—not simply the level of peel.

Certain superficial acne scars and textural irregularities may improve with chemical resurfacing.
However, acne scars vary considerably in depth and structure.
A chemical peel may be more appropriate for superficial textural concerns, while deeper or tethered scars may respond better to procedures such as subcision or microneedling.
If acne scarring is your primary concern, Hanna can assess your skin and discuss whether a Rejuvenize Peel is appropriate or whether another treatment may provide a better approach.

Sun exposure can contribute to:
The Rejuvenize Peel may help improve some of these visible changes by resurfacing the skin.
However, chemical peels do not eliminate the ongoing effects of UV exposure.
Daily sun protection remains an important part of maintaining your results and protecting your skin.
Chemical peels can be performed on patients with a variety of skin tones, but stronger resurfacing treatments require careful consideration.
Patients with darker skin tones may have a greater risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following certain types of skin injury or inflammation.
This does not mean that patients with skin of color cannot undergo chemical peels.
Instead, appropriate treatment selection, preparation, skin assessment, and aftercare are important.
Hanna will evaluate your skin before treatment and determine whether the Rejuvenize Peel is appropriate for your individual skin characteristics.
If a pigmentation concern requires medical evaluation, Dr. Holmes may recommend a dermatologic consultation.

The Rejuvenize Peel may be considered for adults concerned about:
An advanced peel is not appropriate for everyone.
Before treatment, your skin, current skincare routine, medications, recent procedures, and history of skin reactions should be reviewed.
Treatment may need to be postponed if you have active irritation, infection, open skin, or another condition affecting the treatment area.
Temporary side effects may include:
More significant complications can occur with chemical peels, particularly when stronger resurfacing treatments are used.
Potential complications may include prolonged irritation, infection, scarring, or changes in pigmentation.
Hanna will discuss the potential risks and expected recovery before treatment.
After treatment, your skin will require careful care while it recovers.
You may be instructed to:
Do not manually remove peeling skin.
Your provider will let you know when it is appropriate to resume your normal skincare products and cosmetic treatments.
