What is a VI chemical peel?
The VI chemical peel is a specialized peel that is used by men and women to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
• Fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging
• Skin tone and complexion problems
• Poor skin coloration
• Unwanted pigmentation across the face
• Rough skin texture
• Inflammation from active acne
• Sun damage, age spots, and other pigmentation issues
• Melasma
There are many ingredients that are combined into a VI peel to provide results. Trichloroacetic Acid, or TCA, is used for smoothing scarring deep in the skin and to stimulate the natural production of collagen in the skin. This can smooth the skin’s texture and tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinoic acid softens mild to moderate wrinkles and folds, while salicylic acid exfoliates the skin and provides anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a wonderful inclusion in treatment for patients who have active acne. Phenol and Vitamin C are also part of the formula and can brighten the skin and treat wrinkles and creates. By combining all of these ingredients into a VI peel, men and women can improve their skin across the board with a single treatment!
