VI Peel
VI Peel is a fast, safe, and virtually painless treatment that can provide improvement with a number of skin concerns, such as acne, acne scarring, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and more. It uses a unique combination of ingredients to maximize results, including Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Retinoic acid (Vitamin A), Salicylic acid, Phenol, L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and it also has customizable boosters that can be added according to the needs of the skin. This is a peel that can performed not only on the face, but on the neck, chest, and back as well.
How is a VI Peel performed?
After cleansing the skin with a double-cleanse protocol, the patient’s skin is wiped thoroughly with a pre-treatment towelette to remove any remaining dirt and oils off the surface of the skin to ensure the skin can receive maximum benefits of the treatment. The solution is applied with a gauze over the entire area being treated. Multiple layers of the solution are applied until the all the solution has been used. The patient leaves with the solution still on the skin, and then must follow the provided at home post-treatment instruction.
Is a VI Peel painful?
Like most chemical peels, once applied the patient will experience a mild, burning, itchy, tingling sensation. What sets the VI Peel apart from most peels is the fact that there is an anesthetic property to this peel. So, a few moments after application of the peel, the entire area being treated will experiencing a mild numbing sensation, making the rest of the treatment a virtually painless process.
How many treatments will I need?
While results may be noticeable after just one treatment, a series of 3 – 6 treatments is typically recommended to maximize results.
