VI Peels vs. Lira Peels: The Truth About Chemical Peels in Columbia MO

Which Chemical Peel Is Right for Your Skin?


At Lumia Med Spa, we know that great skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Which is why we love the versatility of the chemical peel


Whether you're dealing with acne, pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, or simply looking to refresh your complexion, chemical peels can help encourage healthier, brighter skin by accelerating your skin's natural renewal process.


And we don’t just offer one type of chemical peel. At Lumia everything is customized to your goals, your needs, and all of them are designed to target specific concerns while supporting long-term skin health.


If you’re trying to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance, a chemical peel might be exactly what you’re looking for. Here's everything you need to know about the benefits, results, and how to determine which peel is right for you.


What Are Chemical Peels?


Chemical Peels are classified based on how deeply they penetrate the skin layers and include Superficial, Medium-Depth and Deep Peels. The deeper the penetration the greater the overall exfoliation and cellular regeneration. The depth of the peel is determined by several factors that include acid type(s), percent concentration of the acid(s), the pH of the solution, as well as the time on the skin.

There are many superficial peels on the market that, as the name suggests, only address surface issues. Deep peels are available, but downtime exists and can be significant. For true correction, VI Peel offers six medium-depth peel formulations that make the most impact, with the least amount (if any) of downtime.



Why We Love Them


Depending on the peel selected, benefits include:

  • Brighter, more radiant skin

  • Improved texture and smoothness

  • Reduction in acne and congestion

  • Softer fine lines and wrinkles

  • Improved pigmentation and sun damage

  • Smaller-looking pores

  • More even skin tone

  • Enhanced skincare product absorption
