Vi Peel "The Lunchtime Peel"
The Vi Peel is a revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment which provides results similar to traditional chemical peels with a fraction of the downtime. The Vi Peel was popularized in Southern California and is known as “The Lunchtime Peel”, because of the ease of treatment and rapid recovery after treatment. The peel reverses the aging process while providing a fresher, clearer complexion in usually just one treatment.
The Vi Peel contains a blend of powerful peeling agents suitable for all skin types. The Vi Peel offers dramatic results with virtually no pain, no skin preparation and little downtime in just about fifteen minutes.
The Vi Peel Indications:
- Reduce or eliminate age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation.
- Help clear acne skin conditions, reduce or eliminate acne scars.
- Soften fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improve the tone, texture and clarity of your skin.
- Stimulate collagen production, for firmer, more youthful skin.
What Is The Vi Peel?
The Vi Peel is a virtually painless chemical peel that works by resurfacing the top layer of the skin. The Vi Peel contains many of the same peeling agents used in traditional chemical peels, but in lower concentrations, to provide the same results as these stronger peels, with less risk and downtime. By combining these ingredients, they work synergistically to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin, fight wrinkles, fade age spots and hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen and elastin to provide a degree of skin tightening.
Vi Peel Facts
Surgical Goals: |
To correct fine lines, wrinkles, sun damaged skin, acne scars, and pigmentation issues. |
The Procedure: |
The skin is first cleansed with special solution to remove oil and dead skin to allow even penetration of the peel. The Vi Peel is then gently applied to the skin in layers; the first application is applied to the skin and sinks deep into the skin’s surface, and the second application follows shortly after that to penetrate deeper into the skin. Patients are instructed to let the peel remain on the face for approximately 4-8 hours. Patient can then use a gentle cleanser prior to bedtime to wash the peel off. |
Anesthesia: |
No anesthesia is required as the procedure is virtually painless. Some patients will report minimal burning during the peel application. This discomfort is relieved by allowing a fan to blow cool air onto the face during treatment. |
Length of Time: |
The procedure takes about 15 minutes. |
After the Procedure: |
All patients are sent home after their procedure, and are given a specific set of instructions created by Vi Peel to follow. Special skin cleansing pads as well as a special Vi Moisturizer are also provided. |
Recovery: |
Immediately following the peel, the skin will have a slightly tan to red appearance. Over the next 24-48 hours the skin will feel slightly tighter and look tanned. Pigmented spots and freckles may become darker. At 72 hours the patient will begin to peel. The skin peeling in most cases is a light fluffy peel. The first signs of peeling will be noted in the most sensitive areas around the mouth and corner of the eyes. Use of the Vi Moisturizer will help patients cover up the peeling, allowing them to maintain their usual daily routine. By days 7-8, the entire peeling process is complete. Patients are encouraged to continue with the Vi Moisturizer after the cycle to hydrate the skin and provide sun protection. |
Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Skin Resurfacing? |
In most cases, the best candidates for laser resurfacing are men and women with mild to moderate facial wrinkles in localized areas, such as around the eyes and/or mouth. Also, good candidates for this treatment include patients with mild to moderate sun damage, moderate to severe acne scars or un-even pigmentation. Patients with olive skin, brown skin, or black skin may be at an increased risk for pigmentation changes no matter what resurfacing method is recommended. Furthermore, an individual must be in good health, and not have any active diseases or pre-existing medical conditions. |
