A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to rejuvenate your skin, targeting concerns from fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage and uneven tone. Unlike superficial peels, it penetrates both the epidermis (top layer) and the dermis (the layer responsible for skin structure), allowing for more significant results.
The VI Peel’s unique formulation combines TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and other powerful ingredients. This blend works synergistically to exfoliate the skin, shedding dead and damaged cells for a brighter complexion. More importantly, it stimulates collagen production, boosting skin firmness and elasticity, and increases cell turnover, replacing old cells with fresh, new ones. The peel also effectively reduces hyperpigmentation by targeting melanin, lightening sun spots, age spots, and other discolorations.
This versatile treatment addresses a variety of skin concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and age spots, uneven skin tone and texture, acne and acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation, including melasma. A key advantage is its gentle formulation, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, even darker skin. However, a consultation is always recommended to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
During the treatment, you might experience a mild stinging or tingling as the peel is applied. This is normal and subsides quickly. Peeling typically begins within a few days and can last several days, revealing fresh skin.
While downtime is minimal, following post-peel instructions is crucial. This includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare, and moisturizing. You can expect to see noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance within a week. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
