Are you looking for an advanced skin care option that can improve your appearance in many ways? VI peels provide a unique array of advantages that make them well worth your consideration. Before you talk to your aesthetician about booking an appointment, it’s a smart idea to step back and gauge whether or not this option is right for you. Here’s what you need to know.
What It Does
VI peels are a medium-depth treatment that treats the epidermis and dermis to exfoliate your skin and stimulate new protein production. These chemical peels are applied directly to the skin by your aesthetician and spread carefully to avoid sensitive areas. It can help with a variety of problems, including improving your skin texture and minimizing pigmentation issues.
Why It Helps
This advanced skin care treatment provides a unique array of nutrients to your skin, including trichloroacetic acid, phenol, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and tretinoin. It’s safe and comfortable, and it works on many parts of the body where other treatments may not. The goal of each treatment is to gently remove damaged skin.
How to Prepare
According to the Mayo Clinic, you should avoid shaving treatment areas for 24 hours before your peel. When you visit your aesthetician on the day of your treatment, your face will be carefully cleaned before the chemical peel is applied. The peel itself is applied in two layers before you wait to wash off the peel. You should begin to see results within three days.
Who Should Get One
Anyone with fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, discoloration, and acne may benefit from this treatment. Studies show that it benefits all of these issues, though it isn’t suitable for deep wrinkles or sagging skin. It may not be recommended if you’re pregnant as well due to a lack of studies.
