Refine the surface.

Medical facials and chemical peels are in-office skin treatments used to improve the surface, texture and clarity of the skin. SkinMedica peels are the primary peel offering at The Refinery Rx.

MEDICAL FACIAL: ILLUMINIZE PEEL $175. VITALIZE PEEL $225. REJUVENIZE PEEL $300. Beauty Bank members receive 10% member savings on eligible services. Your recommended treatment and pricing are confirmed after assessment.

The appropriate peel depends on your skin type, skin goals, current products, sun exposure, tolerance for downtime and treatment history. Intensity can be increased over a series of treatments as your skin tolerates it. Outcomes are not guaranteed.

Appropriate candidates are generally healthy adults who want to improve skin surface quality and are willing to follow pre-treatment and aftercare instructions. Final candidacy is determined after assessment.

Treatment is generally deferred during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection, open skin or inflammation in the treatment area, with recent sun exposure or tanning, with certain medications, or with certain medical conditions. This is reviewed at consultation.

We review your skin, your current products, sun exposure, previous treatments and goals, then recommend a treatment and explain the preparation, the expected peeling and the aftercare.

Pre-treatment skincare considerations are reviewed with you. Certain active products and treatments may need to be paused beforehand, and recent sun exposure or tanning may require rescheduling.

Redness, tightness, dryness and visible peeling or flaking are expected with peels, and the degree varies with the peel selected. It is worth planning your schedule accordingly.

Skin generally looks its best once peeling has finished. A series of treatments is often more useful than a single session, and individual response varies.

Peels are usually spaced over weeks and are often performed as a series. Your interval is recommended based on how your skin responds.

Daily sun protection is essential before and after treatment. Avoid picking or pulling flaking skin, and follow the aftercare instructions provided at your visit.

Common temporary effects include redness, dryness, tightness, peeling, sensitivity and temporary darkening or lightening of areas of skin. Contact the practice promptly if you experience blistering, severe pain, signs of infection, or any symptom that concerns you. Call 408-462-0193 or seek emergency care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
