VI PEEL
A VI Peel is a professional chemical peel designed to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. It utilizes a unique blend of essential acids, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, to exfoliate the skin and promote cellular turnover.
Frequency
Every 4-6 weeks.
BENEFITS
- Improved Skin Texture: The VI Peel enhances the overall texture of the skin, making it appear smoother and more refined.
- Even Skin Tone: This treatment effectively reduces pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a more uniform complexion.
- Reduction of Acne Scars: The powerful blend of acids helps to diminish the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, promoting clearer skin.
- Minimization of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Patients often notice a reduction in the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
PLAN
A VI Peel treatment begins with an initial consultation where an appointment with a licensed skincare professional is scheduled to assess skin type and determine the peel’s suitability. During this consultation, a discussion of the patient’s medical history and prior skin treatments ensures safe application. Pre-treatment preparation involves advising the patient to avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and harsh skin treatments for at least a week and recommending a gentle skincare routine to minimize sensitivity. The VI Peel procedure itself includes cleansing the skin thoroughly, applying the peel solution evenly while avoiding sensitive areas, and monitoring the patient for comfort, adjusting the timing as necessary. Post-treatment care is crucial; patients receive detailed aftercare instructions emphasizing moisturization, sun avoidance, and gentle skincare product use, along with guidance on potential side effects like redness and peeling.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled one to two weeks after the treatment to evaluate results and adjust the skincare regimen if needed, while long-term skincare plans are discussed to maintain and enhance results. Ongoing maintenance includes recommending skincare products that enhance the longevity of results and suggesting periodic touch-up treatments based on individual skin needs and goals.
