Looking for a powerful way to refresh your skin? The innovative VI Peel, designed to treat a variety of skin concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and uneven texture, may be just what you need!
Here’s everything you need to know:
WHY VI PEELS ARE A GAME-CHANGER
VI Peels are known for their blend of powerful ingredients, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid and vitamin C, which work together to penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate cell turnover. Unlike many other chemical peels, VI peels are gentle enough for all skin types but strong enough to deliver real results.
Here are some of the standout benefits:
- By promoting collagen production, VI Peels help soften lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and more youthful.
- These peels can reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, leaving you with a more even, radiant complexion.
- VI Peels exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores, helping reduce acne and refine the skin’s texture.
- Unlike more invasive peels, VI Peels come with minimal downtime, making them ideal for anyone with a busy lifestyle.
What can you expect during a VI Peel? Here’s a step-by-step guide to the process:
1. CONSULTATION
Your provider will assess your skin concerns and confirm that a VI Peel is the best choice to reach your goals. They’ll also go over any pre-peel instructions, like avoiding retinoids or exfoliants a few days beforehand.
2. APPLICATION
The actual peel process is quick! A professional applies the solution with gauze, which may cause a mild tingling or warm sensation that fades quickly due to a numbing ingredient. The peel remains on your skin for about four hours, but you can leave the spa shortly after the application.
3. AT-HOME CARE
At home, you’ll keep the peel on for the recommended time before washing it off. Expect some peeling, usually starting around day three, as your skin sheds its old layers to reveal a smoother, fresher complexion. Your esthetician will guide you through moisturizing and sun protection.
4. RESULTS
By days five to seven, peeling should be complete, unveiling a brighter, more even skin tone with a softer texture. Fine lines, scars and dark spots will appear lighter.
The VI Peel is a safe, effective option for many skin types and tones. In just a week, you’ll see the full effects: brighter, clearer and more youthful skin. VI Peels are a great way to maintain a glowing complexion, especially when done regularly. Arrange a consultation and experience the transformative effects for yourself!
