Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VI chemical peel?
The VI (Vitality Institute) Peel is a chemical peel that targets moderate-depth skin issues, improving texture and reducing signs of aging. It utilizes a blend of ingredients, including salicylic acid, TCA (trichloroacetic acid), and hydroquinone. VI Peels are suitable for all skin types and can be administered every 4 to 6 weeks to reduce pigmentation issues, fine lines, and wrinkles.
What can I expect during a VI chemical peel treatment?
The VI Peel is a quick and convenient treatment that can be completed within 15 minutes. Prior to application, your face will be properly cleansed to eliminate any impurities. This process maximizes the effectiveness of the peel. During the procedure, the first layer is applied, inducing a tingling or numbing sensation to the skin’s outermost layer. This layer primarily targets the upper skin cells. The second layer follows, targeting dead skin cells and toxins. Once dried, the peel can be worn throughout the day, but should be removed after 4-6 hours.
What can I expect after treatment?
After applying your VI Peel, use the post-peel kit provided about 4-6 hours later, but at least one hour before bed. Don’t worry about skin discoloration during the peeling process, which starts about three days later. The end result will be smoother, firmer, clearer, and more youthful skin. Follow our aftercare instructions closely for optimal results.
Is there any downtime?
The VI Peel is appreciated for its short recovery time compared to more intense chemical peels. Most individuals can return to their usual routines right after the treatment. However, you should anticipate some noticeable skin shedding starting around the third day, which can last between three and seven days, based on your skin type and whether it’s your first treatment. During this period, your skin may appear flaky, and you might notice some redness or slight swelling, which might make you want to avoid social activities due to the visible peeling.
Despite the mild recovery, it’s crucial to adhere to aftercare guidelines, use the post-peel kit provided to you, and shield your skin from the sun to achieve the best healing and outcomes.
Are there any side effects?
While VI chemical peels are generally well tolerated, there is a possibility of experiencing uncommon side effects. These side effects can include discoloration, swelling, or an allergic reaction.
Who is the ideal candidate for a VI peel?
If you are considering a VI Peel chemical peel, our consultation process will evaluate your current health status, medications, and skin type to determine if you are a suitable candidate. The ideal candidate for this treatment should not be pregnant or nursing, seek mild to moderate skin improvements, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and have patience for the peeling process.
How often should I get a VI peel?
To determine how frequently you should receive a VI Peel, your provider will evaluate your skin’s needs. Waiting for a minimum of 4 weeks between treatments is recommended.
Can I get a VI peel if I’m pregnant?
No, we don’t recommend VI chemical peels for women who are pregnant or nursing.
