We all want to look better and most people will go to any extreme to achieve beautiful skin. Chemical peel treatments remove the outer dead layers of your skin allowing your epidermis to become more permeable to nutrients. Robbins Plastic Surgery now offers the VI Peel™. It is a popular option because it does more than just remove your visibly damaged skin. It also treats your skin on a cellular level, working with acids and vitamins to help build collagen without sacrificing comfort for beauty. VI Peel™ is a skin treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin on your face, chest, hands, or other areas. As a medical-grade chemical peel, the VI Peel™ is an effective treatment to improve several skin issues including acne, uneven skin texture, uneven tone, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and age and sun spots. The VI Peel™ also provides a more youthful look by brightening the overall appearance of your skin and improving collagen production.
If you are looking for a great way to reduce the signs of aging, Robbins Plastic Surgery is proud to offer the VI Peel™ as a part of their skin care treatment program. The VI Peel™ is the first peel to combine the strongest and most effective acids, yet it is virtually painless. A single VI Peel™ will achieve significant repair and add a healthy glow to your skin.
VI Peel Ingredients and Facts
A VI Peel™ uses a unique blend of active cosmoceutical ingredients such as Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) 7%, Salicylic Acid 2%, Retinoid Acid 8%, Phenol, Glycolic Acid, and Vitamin C. Retin-A is a proven wrinkle fighter while TCA relieves fine wrinkles and surface blemishes. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant and an anti-inflammatory agent and Vitamin C stimulates collagen while battling wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Phenol provides long lasting solutions to major issues such as deep-set wrinkles and more.
What to Expect
For the first 24-48 hours after your peel is applied, the chemicals begin to sink deep into your skin and there will be no obvious change to your skin’s surface. By the 72-hour mark, your skin will begin to peel and will continue to do so for the next few days because of the VI Peel’s™ deep exfoliation. By day six, the peeling will subside and it will be almost undetectable with the use of the VI Derm™ daily moisturizer. You may wear make-up prior to and after the peeling process but not while your skin is peeling. After the peeling cycle is finished, results will include a more youthful glow and improved tone and texture. Patients can receive VI Peels™ repeatedly every two weeks until they receive their desired results; however, most patients are pleased after just one treatment.
Wear Your Sunscreen
It is important to take care of your new skin. You should avoid sun exposure by wearing a sunscreen at all times and cut back on exfoliating as your skin has just experienced major exfoliation with your VI Peel™. Excessive sun/UV exposure and/or exfoliation will put your skin at risk for redness and irritation.
