Consultation and assessment
Before recommending a chemical peel, I would complete a full consultation and skin assessment. I would assess the client’s skin type, Fitzpatrick classification, sensitivity, barrier condition, pigmentation, pore visibility and degree of ageing. I would also check their medical history, medication, allergies, current skincare and any contraindications.
I offer three Million Dollar medium-depth Immaculate Peels: Eliminate, Radiate and Rejuvenate. Each peel targets different concerns and can be adapted by changing the number of layers applied, in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. Applying additional layers increases the intensity of the treatment, which may improve results but also increases the possibility of redness, sensitivity and visible flaking.
As this client has not previously experienced any professional skin procedures and requires minimal downtime, I would begin conservatively with a single layer. I would assess the client’s response before increasing the number of layers during later treatments.
Eliminate Peel
The first option I would discuss is the Million Dollar Eliminate Peel, which contains lactic acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid. This combination may benefit the client’s visible pores, rough texture and dullness while providing a cautious introduction to chemical peeling.
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the surface of the skin by loosening the bonds between dead corneocytes. It also has humectant properties, making it helpful if the client’s dullness is accompanied by dehydration. This may leave the skin looking smoother, brighter and more hydrated while softening the appearance of superficial fine lines.
Glycolic acid is also an AHA but has a smaller molecular size, allowing it to pe*****te the epidermis more readily. It increases cellular turnover and can improve dullness, uneven texture and the appearance of fine lines. With repeated treatments, it may also support collagen remodeling. However, its faster pe*******on can make it more irritating, particularly on sensitive or unconditioned skin.
Salicylic acid is a lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid. It can enter the pilosebaceous unit, dissolve excess keratin and help clear congestion. This could make the pores appear less visible and improve overall skin clarity. However, a peel cannot permanently close or physically shrink pores, so the client’s expectations would need to be managed.
Following the peel, I would apply the Million Dollar professional Niacinamist Power Product to soothe and hydrate the skin, support barrier recovery and help regulate excess sebum.
The limitation of Eliminate is that it is primarily suited to congestion, inflammation and problematic skin. Therefore, it would not target the client’s uneven tone and early ageing as directly as Radiate. However, its suitability for sensitive skin makes it a sensible introductory treatment for this client.
Radiate Peel
The Million Dollar Radiate Peel would be the most directly targeted option because the client’s main concerns include uneven skin tone, dullness and early signs of ageing. It contains glycolic acid and mandelic acid, which work together to exfoliate accumulated surface cells and encourage a smoother, brighter complexion.
Glycolic acid would target dullness, uneven texture and superficial fine lines by accelerating epidermal renewal. Mandelic acid is also an AHA, but its larger molecular size means that it pe*****tes the skin more slowly and evenly. This may make it better tolerated while still improving uneven tone, pigmentation and texture.
Following the peel, I would use the Million Dollar Vitamin C10 Power Product. Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection, supports collagen synthesis and can help improve radiance and uneven pigmentation.
Radiate offers a better overall match for this client’s main concerns than Eliminate. However, the client could still experience temporary redness, warmth, tightness, dryness or light flaking. It would not completely eliminate fine lines or deeper pigmentation, and a course of treatments would be required to obtain progressive results.
Pigmentation may also worsen following excessive inflammation or UV exposure, particularly in higher Fitzpatrick skin types. Careful skin assessment and daily SPF50 would therefore be essential aftercare.
Rejuvenate Peel
The third option would be the Million Dollar Rejuvenate Peel, which is designed to target fine lines, dryness, reduced elasticity and other early signs of ageing. It could help improve the client’s fine lines and dullness by encouraging cellular renewal and creating a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
The peel can be combined with the professional HA15 Power Product to increase hydration and temporarily plump the skin, helping superficial fine lines appear softer.
The limitation of Rejuvenate in this scenario is that the client’s uneven skin tone and visible pores are more prominent concerns. It may therefore address their ageing concerns but would not be as specifically targeted to uneven tone as Radiate or as suitable for pore visibility as Eliminate. I would consider it as a future treatment or maintenance option rather than the initial choice.
Million Dollar Immaculate Peels compared to stronger medical peels
More aggressive TCA formulations and deep phenol peels can produce greater resurfacing by penetrating further into the skin. However, they are associated with increased discomfort, inflammation, visible peeling and longer recovery periods. They also carry greater risks of infection, scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
I do not offer these stronger peels within my salon. I use the three Million Dollar Immaculate Peels because they treat a broad range of skin concerns while providing controlled results with minimal downtime. Their intensity can be adapted through layering, allowing the treatment to progress according to the client’s skin tolerance.
More aggressive medical peels would be disproportionate to this client’s early signs of ageing, lack of previous treatment experience and requirement to return to work with minimal disruption.
However, I would explain that minimal downtime cannot be guaranteed, as mild redness, warmth, dryness or flaking may still occur following a Million Dollar peel.
Recommended treatment plan and expected results
Following the consultation and skin assessment, I would begin with one layer of the Eliminate Peel. Although it is not the most targeted peel for uneven tone, it would provide a controlled introduction to chemical peeling while beginning to improve dullness, rough texture and pore visibility.
I would review the duration and severity of any redness, sensitivity, dryness or flaking. If the skin recovered normally without excessive irritation, I would progress to a course of Radiate Peels because this peel is more specifically designed to improve uneven tone, dullness, photodamage and early signs of ageing.
I would begin the Radiate course with one layer and only increase the number of layers if the client demonstrated good tolerance. If the client experienced prolonged sensitivity or barrier disruption, I would delay progression, review their homecare and allow the skin to recover.
The client may notice brighter, smoother and more radiant-looking skin following the first treatment. More noticeable improvements in uneven tone, texture, pore visibility and superficial fine lines should develop progressively throughout the Radiate course. Once these concerns have improved, Rejuvenate could be considered as a future maintenance treatment if fine lines, dryness or reduced elasticity became the client’s main concern.
