Medical Grade Chemical Peels
Revolutionize your skin with gloTherapeutics, a radically different medical grade chemical peel that can clinically transform your complexion.
Chemical peels, which remove the dead cells on the outer layer of the dermis, are essential to maintaining healthy, beautiful, age-resistant skin. Regular chemical peels help to reverse the signs of aging, improve skin tone and color, stimulate collagen production, diminish acne and treat pre-cancerous lesions, like Actinic Keratosis. Safe and effective chemical peels are performed at the our clinic, with a trained professional determining which chemical peeling agent is most appropriate, according to the individual’s skin type and condition. We customize each individuals peel to their specific needs. Choices include glycolic (sugar) acid, lactic (milk) acid, TCA (trichloracetic acid) or beta acids. After most chemical peels, the skin immediately looks more healthy, supple and radiant, the complexion fresh and clear. Within hours many patients feel the tightening of their skin.
If you suffer from a poor complexion plagued with acne, blotchy skin, wrinkles, and even actinic keratoses, it can adversely affect your social and professional relationships. It's time you did something about it!
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of skin on the face, neck, legs, arms, or body (with the exception of sensitive areas). Also referred to as derma-peeling and chemexfoliation, they are safely administered by a medical aesthetician with good knowledge of dermatology and or advanced skin care. Chemical peel procedures are relatively short but have effective results that are long lasting. A single treatment can achieve the desired results, though more are typically required depending on the severity of the problem and the type of skin.
At The Permalaser Clinic, chemical peel treatments apply a solution to the target area in order to gently blister the uppermost layers of the skin. These unwanted layers are then removed as delicately as possible. By doing so, the skin is reinvigorated, boosting the growth of new cells and the production of collagen vital for firmness. Immediately following a procedure, the skin will be sensitive to sun exposure, and redness, crusting, and flaking may occur for a few days. However, these symptoms will gradually disappear within a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the strength of the peel. Smoother skin is revealed, featuring far less blemishes, wrinkles and blotches. Enlarged pores and sun damaged or acne-prone skin can also be treated. Since only the superficial layers are removed, those seeking treatment for sagging skin, deep wrinkles and furrows should consider another more effective cosmetic procedure available at The Permalaser Clinic.
As a matter of fact, even without the assistance of a chemical peel, the cells comprising these layers of skin naturally shed throughout our whole life. However, this generally does not occur in a uniform manner. Blemishes and wrinkles normally do not fade with this natural process.
There are a variety of chemical peels available, all offered at our clinic. To name but a few Glo Therapeutics, Jessner Peels, the Sensi Peel®, Vitalize Peel® TCA, and for the body, the PCA Professional™ Smoothing Body Peel Treatment. Each type of chemical peel is comprised of a specific acid-based solution. The type of chemical peel suitable for your skin will depend on your skin type, the problem and what result you'd like to achieve.
Chemical Peels at The Permalaser Clinic
Chemical peels at The Permalaser Clinic exfoliate the uppermost layers of the skin. Removing and minimizing unappealing abnormalities, the smooth and healthy skin below is revealed in a procedure generally lasting under half an hour. The healing process, during which instructions to properly care for the treated skin are followed, will also promote the growth of fresh skin rich with collagen as well. A series of chemical peels scheduled at specific intervals can also strengthen the skin. In fact, this will make the treated skin stronger against the harmful affects of the environment.
A number of problems which plague the skin can be treated, including sun damage, acne, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone.
As each person has a different skin type and degree of damage, our trained physicians and staff will determine the appropriate degree of chemical peel at The Permalaser Clinic for you, utilizing their extensive knowledge of dermatology and Skin care. Each treatment is performed at our aesthetic medical centre in Montreal.
We currently offer many brands and types of chemical peels examples are Sensi Peel® Exfoliating Treatment, Vitalize Peel® and PCA Professional™ Smoothing Body Peel Treatment.

As we get older our skin begins to show the effects of aging. The wear and tear of daily life leaves a mark on us that is reflected in our skin. We don't have to suffer from aged or damaged skin however. Chemical peels have advanced greatly in recent years, giving many of us an ideal option for experiencing the joy of having the type of skin we deserve.
What is the GloLactic Peel?
The GloLactic Peel was designed in order to help patients receive the best treatment for aging or damaged skin. It is a gentle but effective antiseptic chemical exfoliant that addresses common, age-related problems and the appearance of uneven tone and texture by providing improved hydration and the inhibition of abnormal cell regeneration. It works by cleaning deep into pores, offering benefits that work for overall skin rejuvenation or specific treatment for acne, acne related scarring and more.
GloLactic Peel is made with the extraction of L+ Lactic Acid, an acid that is naturally found in human skin. Lactic acid is commonly found in detergents and soaps because it is an anti-bacterial agent that, unlike many others, is environmentally sound and safe for many uses due to its organic nature. Medical practitioners have taken advantage of the benefits of lactic acid in order to develop the GloLactic Peel, a treatment option that offers one of the best methods for improving skin conditions like dehydration, environmental damage, acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and the signs of aging.
How Does the GloLactic Peel Help My Skin?
The GloLactic Peel aids in the regeneration of skin by repairing damage and regenerating healthy skin. The presence of lactic acid in GloLactic Peel allows it to slow troublesome cell growth (of the kind that leads to scarring and other skin conditions) while facilitating the kind of hydration necessary for healthy skin.
GloLactic Peel is unique in that it provides effective regenerative effects without the creation of aggressive after effects. Because lactic acid is naturally found in our skin, GloLactic Peel is able to work along with our existing systems. This leads to the Peel catalyzing the shedding of dead skin and the growth of new, fresh skin cells that ultimately results in a healthy, vibrant appearance. Its reliability and history of exceptional results makes GloLactic Peel an ideal treatment plan for anyone looking to improve the look of their skin.

It’s gained a positive reputation due to its extraordinary ability to resolve a wide array of different skin problems.
What is the Glo Glycolic Peel — and How Does it Work?
The Glo Glycolic Peel is a chemical exfoliant that uses glycolic acid (whereas other chemical peels make use of lactic, salicylic or retinoic acid) to help the skin naturally promote its normal regenerative and restorative systems while removing dead, unnecessary skin that regular washing or moisturizing cannot reach. As it removes debris from congested pores, Glo Glycolic Peel also works to reduce cellular build-up, evening skin texture and tone and ensuring that the benefits it provides are able to be maintained over time.
The Glo Glycolic Peel helps the skin in achieving collagen synthesis as well, a process which ultimately leads to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines. It is also formulated with antioxidants. Their presence helps the skin to strengthen capillaries, promote anti-inflammatory properties and naturally retain moisture better. All of this combines to make it a truly comprehensive chemical exfoliant that can lead to improved skin for nearly any patient.
Glo Glycolic Peel is commonly available in 30% or 60% strengths and which one is used is determined by a aesthetic doctor or nurse based on a patient’s skin sensitivity and thickness.
Which Problems Can Glo Glycolic Help With?
Signs of aging and uneven skin texture or tone can be repaired with the use of the Glo Glycolic Peel. By taking advantage of the aesthetic properties of the Glo Glycolic Peel, you can enjoy the benefits of youthful, healthy skin with even texture and colouration.
