VI Peel Treatment
The VI Peel is a type of chemical peel that is used for skin rejuvenation. It is known for being more gentle compared to some other chemical peels, while still providing significant results.
What is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) and reaches the upper portion of the dermis. It is designed to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation (such as melasma or age spots)
Acne and acne scars
Sun damage
Uneven skin texture
Ingredients
The VI Peel typically contains a blend of the following active ingredients:
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Helps exfoliate the skin and promote new cell growth.
Retinoic Acid: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
Salicylic Acid: Penetrates pores to help clear out acne and reduce inflammation.
Phenol: Acts as an anesthetic and helps with deeper penetration.
Vitamin C: An antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and promote collagen production.
The Procedure
Preparation: The skin is cleansed and prepped for the peel.
Application: The VI Peel solution is applied evenly across the face or other treated areas.
Leave-On Time: The solution is left on the skin for a period of time, typically around 4-6 hours, depending on the individual’s skin type and the desired results.
Peeling Process: Over the next few days (usually 3-7 days), the skin will begin to peel as the damaged outer layers slough off.
Recovery and Results
Downtime: There’s minimal downtime compared to more aggressive peels. The skin may appear red or slightly swollen immediately after the peel.
Peeling: Visible peeling typically starts around the third day and can last up to a week.
Results: The final results, including smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin, are generally visible within a week or two after the peel.
Aftercare
PSun Protection: It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and use a high-SPF sunscreen during the peeling process.
Moisturization: Keeping the skin hydrated helps with the healing process.
Avoid Picking: It’s important not to pick at the peeling skin to avoid scarring or irritation.
The VI Peel is often recommended by dermatologists and cosmetic professionals for those looking for a relatively quick and effective way to rejuvenate their skin with minimal downtime.
VI Peel can be done after 2 weeks of having Neurotoxin treatment (TOX) for a even more dramatic effect.
