Did you know that Summer is the best time for a VI Peel? Your skin is more moist in Summer than in other seasons, making it more receptive to the active ingredients! If you’re unfamiliar with VI Peels, here are some things to review.
What is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that targets multiple skin concerns, such as acne, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and texture. The VI peel works by exfoliating the skin, stimulating collagen production, and promoting cellular turnover for a smoother, more youthful complexion. Chemical peels harness the power of certain ingredients that dissolve dead skin cells and clean out pores. In essence, they are a great way to exfoliate and encourage fresh, healthy cells to rise up.
What’s in a VI Peel?
The VI Peel contains a potent blend of ingredients designed to exfoliate the skin and stimulate rejuvenation. Here’s a more thorough breakdown:
- Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Retinoic Acid: Speeds up cell turnover.
- Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates the skin and helps to clear pores.
- Phenol: Treats deeper lines and promotes collagen production.
- Vitamin C: Provides antioxidant protection and brightens the skin.
How It Works
The VI Peel works by exfoliating the top layers of the skin, allowing fresh, new skin to emerge. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. The peel is applied to the face in our spa by one of our nurses and is left on the skin for four hours. Over the next several days, your skin will begin to gently peel, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Downtime Timeline
After your VI Peel at MiraMed and Day Spa, you can expect the following timeline:
- Day 1-2: The skin may look slightly red or tan. You may experience some tightness.
- Day 3-4: Peeling begins around the mouth area and progresses outward. Avoid picking or pulling the skin.
- Day 5-7: Peeling continues, and new, fresh skin starts to emerge.
- Day 7 and beyond: Most of the peeling is complete, and you’ll start to see significant improvements in your skin’s appearance.
