  • The Procedure

    The VI Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It is an ideal treatment for addressing a variety of skin concerns, such as acne, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. The peel contains a unique blend of ingredients, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and phenol, which provide deep exfoliation and promote collagen production. The procedure is suitable for most skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, chest and body. During the procedure, a technician applies the peel solution to the skin in layers. While the solution is applied, patients may experience mild tingling or a warming sensation. After the peel is applied, it is left on the skin for a specified duration, after which it will be neutralized.

  • The Results

    The VI Peel offers both immediate and long-term results. Within 7-10 days of treatment, your skin will feel smoother and more radiant as the top layers exfoliate and regenerate. Over time, you'll notice improvements in your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity, with a visible reduction in hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-4 peels, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

Aftercare

After your VI Peel, it’s important to follow proper aftercare to promote healing and get the best possible results. Each patient will receive post-treatment care instructions that walk each patient through post-care procedures. Sun protection is crucial: avoid direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day. It’s also important not to pick or peel the skin manually, as this could lead to irritation or scarring. By following these aftercare steps, your skin should heal beautifully and reveal its full potential.

Reminders

To ensure the best outcome from your VI Peel treatment, it’s important to follow some preparation guidelines. For at least 7 days before your peel, it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds, as well as discontinue using products that contain retinol, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating ingredients to prevent irritation. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment to keep your skin in optimal condition. Also, refrain from scheduling any other skin treatments such as facials, laser procedures, or waxing for at least one week prior to your peel.
