Chemical Peels
We offer VI Peels customized to effectively address a spectrum of skin concerns, encompassing acne, melasma, aging skin, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and sun damage. Chemical peels, which are exfoliating solutions tailored to different skin types, utilize a diverse array of active ingredients to remove dead skin cells and unveil a rejuvenated layer of skin. The depth of the peel determines which layers of the skin are targeted and how the peel is applied. The process involves applying a chemical solution to the face to eliminate damaged skin cells, promoting the emergence of a fresher, more youthful complexion. The duration of a chemical peel ranges from 30 to 60 minutes. Generally, there is minimal to no downtime, but it's advised to avoid sun exposure and certain skincare ingredients until the skin is fully healed.
About Chemical Peels
What it is
Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions that are customized for different skin types and incorporate a variety of active ingredients that work to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, different layers of the skin will be targeted and the peel may be applied differently. Superficial skin peels are applied in layers and left on your skin. They’re not timed and removed like deeper chemical peels. The strength of a superficial peel is controlled by the number of layers applied.
How it works
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new healthier cells grow in its place.
There are different types of chemical peels that use different types of acids. Some acids are stronger than others, your provider will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
What to expect
On average, a chemical peel can take between 30 to 90 depending on the type of peel and the number of layers being applied. Depending on the strength of your peel, you may feel a warming sensation throughout the application. You can expect little to no downtime for light peels, while medium and deep peels may require a few weeks to recover. You should avoid the sun and any active skin care ingredients (retinol, vitamin c, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
