Chemical Peel (VI Peel)
Skinovatio's VI Peel Treatment
The VI Peel, is a chemical peel that addresses fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and melasma, and promotes overall smoother skin texture by refining pores, controlling oil, and stimulating collagen production.
Made with a unique blend of minerals, salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, retinoic acid, and trichloracetic acid (TCA), the VI Peel Facial Peel provides wonderful benefits, like improving texture and tone, rejuvenating the skin, and helping to prevent further damage. It also contains pain-numbing ingredients to lessen the burning sensation – doing away with it altogether for some patients. The VI Peel is less about making the skin peel and more about infusing it with ingredients that will have beneficial effects.
Benefits of the VI Peel
There are six different versions of the VI Peel available, each tailored to a specific concern; however, the overall benefits include:
Reducing acne and surface acne scars. The VI Peel packs a one-two punch for those afflicted with acne, helping treat symptoms while lessening the scars it can leave behind. It soothes skin texture, brightens dark areas, soothes inflammation, and increases collagen to plump depressed or pitted skin. Ice pick scars, rolling scars, and boxcar scars can all be treated. All scars respond to the VI Peel differently, and multiple sessions or combination treatment may be necessary.
Diminishing sun spots and hyperpigmentation. The synergistic blend of ingredients in the VI Peel is ideal for brightening skin, diminishing sunspots, and leaving the complexion with a refreshing glow.
Smoothing over fine lines and wrinkles. The combination of acids, antioxidants, and exfoliants penetrates skin deeply, causing a resurfacing process that stimulates new cell production including collagen and elastin for a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance.
While the original VI Peel covers all the above bases, the other versions deliver more intense, specialized treatments, such as the VI Peel Purify Precision Plus, used on acne-prone skin and acne scarring. Once you schedule your VI Peel consultation, your nurse, nurse practitioner, or esthetician can help you decide which version is most suitable.
What's in VI Peel?
Here’s everything you need to know about the VI Peel from the inside out:
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and Phenol: If you’re familiar with chemical peels, you’re likely well-versed in both of these skin-smoothers. The combination of TCA and phenol creates a controlled injury of the skin, leading to regeneration and resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. TCA clears away dead skin cells to reveal the new skin layers below to treat concerns like skin discoloration, scarring, and wrinkles, while Phenol is often used to treat deeper concerns like sun damage, pigmentation, and facial lines.
Salicylic Acid: The same go-to active in many acne products, gives the VI Peel an extra boost of breakout-busting power. Salicylic acid is used to exfoliate the skin and clean the pores, can reduce mild breakouts of whiteheads and blackheads, and prevents future skin breakouts.
Retinoic Acid: Retinoid acid is a derivative of vitamin A. It helps to regulate growth and differentiation of skin cells, resulting in a reduction in acne, inflammation, and oil production. It’s also where the VI Peel’s anti-aging benefits come in; with the ingredient’s ability to exfoliate, firm, and volumize the skin.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C, is included in the VI Peel as a powerful antioxidant that counters some of the damaging effects of the sun and pollution, reducing pigmentation and improving the appearance of the skin. Not to mention its collagen-boosting properties, which are instrumental in plumping skin and smoothing over wrinkles.
Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydrocortisone: The more targeted versions of the VI Peel might contain the above ingredients for their abilities to target breakouts, hyperpigmentation, and inflammation.
