What is a chemical peel? Chemical peels are chemical skin resurfacing solutions used to reduce acne, scarring, skin texture, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, hyperpigmentation and discoloration.

Chemical Peels traditionally come in light, medium or deep strengths. Each peel strength comes with its advantages and disadvantages. A light peel has little-to-no downtime, but does not give as noticeable results as a medium or deep peel. Deep peels provide the best results but have the longest downtime (up to 2 weeks), often disrupting day-to-day life. Medium peels are usually somewhere in the middle.

Thanks to The VI Peel, you no longer have to choose between results and downtime

The VI Peel provides the high-impact results of a deep peel with the minimal downtime of a light peel

 

How Does The VI Peel Work?

Here is the simple 3-step process:

Application

The peel is applied directly to your face, in layers (taking 30 to 40mins). It's left on the skin and neutralized.

Anticipation

After a few days, you'll begin to peel -typically lasting 3-5 days in total. You'll have access to the VI Peel aftercare app, which will guide you through the healing process.

Transformation

Finally, enjoy the results. You'll be back to normal in 8 days or less with noticeably brighter, smoother skin!

Once your short healing process is complete, you'll have a noticeably fresh layer of rejuvenated skin -and the signs of aging, damage and hyperpigmentation are diminished.

VI Peel Is Perfect For:

Reducing Acne Reducing Acne

The VI Peel is a 2-in-1 solution for acne. By treating acne and reducing scars, this peel is a great option for anyone battling with acne and the damage it leaves behind. Breakouts, dark spots, inflammation, and texture are all reduced after your old skin has peeled and your new, healthy layer of skin is revealed. Plus, 2 of the main active ingredients in the VI Peel (Retinoic Acid and Salicylic Acid) are acne-fighting powerhouses that clean pores, fight breakouts, reduce oil production and lessen inflammation.

Smoothing Wrinkles Smoothing Wrinkles

The VI Peel is effective at treating many types of scars, including rolling, ice pick, boxcar, and acne scars. Both the resurfacing effect of the peel as well as many of the active ingredients and minerals work to smooth textured areas and plump/tighten depressed and pitted skin. Increased collagen and elastin growth after your peel will also help tremendously in the scar healing process. Note: All scars respond to the VI Peel differently, so multiple sessions or combination treatments may be necessary- but each VI Peel treatment will leave you with noticeably different skin

Eliminating Scars Eliminating Scars

The VI Peel’s combination of acids, antioxidants, and exfoliants causes a resurfacing process that stimulates new cell production as well as collagen and elastin growth. These factors work together to fight the signs of aging and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will be smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearing after every treatment.

Diminishing Hyperpigmentation Diminishing Hyperpigmentation

The VI Peel’s synergistic blend of ingredients is ideal for brightening skin, diminishing sunspots, and leaving your complexion with a refreshing glow. Traditionally, hyperpigmentation and sunspots were difficult to treat, but the VI Peel offers a quick and effective option. You can continue to see improved results with every treatment.

While each version version of the VI Peel will give you the benefits mentioned above, a custom blend can provide you with a more intensely targeted treatment to give extra attention to a specific concern (such as acne, melasma, wrinkles, etc).

At Lakes Dermatology, we offer 3 customized VI Peel blends, each tailored to your specific concern or skin condition. Your esthetician can help you decide which version of the VI Peel is the most suitable for you during your free consultation (included in your voucher purchase).
