SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel® in Philadelphia

Illuminize Peel® for Smooth, Glowing Skin

Not every skin concern requires aggressive exfoliation or visible peeling. For patients seeking brighter, smoother skin with little to no downtime, the SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel® offers a gentle yet effective solution. Often referred to as a “glow peel,” this superficial chemical peel is designed to refresh the skin’s surface, improve tone and texture, and enhance overall radiance—making it an excellent option for first-time peel patients or those looking for ongoing skin maintenance.

At Corrado Skincare & Aesthetics, the SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel® in Philadelphia is selected for patients who want visible improvement without irritation or recovery time.

What Is the SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel®?

The SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel® is a gentle, superficial chemical peel formulated with a carefully balanced blend of exfoliating acids. It is designed to improve skin brightness, tone, and texture while maintaining excellent tolerability.

Because it is self-neutralizing and minimally irritating, the Illuminize Peel® delivers noticeable skin refreshment without significant peeling or downtime.

How the Illuminize Peel® Works

The Illuminize Peel® gently exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin, encouraging cellular turnover and allowing healthier, brighter skin to surface.

Because the peel is superficial and self-neutralizing:

Downtime is minimal
Visible peeling is uncommon
Skin appears refreshed rather than irritated

This makes the treatment well suited for regular maintenance or pre-event skin preparation.
