The interest in using chemical solutions to remove the outer layers of skin to reveal a more youthful appearance began in the late 1800s. However, the process, side effects, and results are far different today.
We encourage you to schedule your consultation to explore how a VI Peel in Atlanta can address your cosmetic concerns. Call Advanced Aesthetics Surgery Center today to learn more about our non-surgical procedures.
Chemical peels come in three different strengths or depths. A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates the epidermis and dermal layer. It exfoliates the skin and stimulates the body to produce new proteins. It can be safely used on your face, hands, chest, and back.
A VI Peel typically contains phenol, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, vitamin C, and tretinoin. The blend of ingredients allows for greater penetration and triggers increased cell turnover and collagen production.
At Advanced Aesthetics, we carry multiple types of VI peels to specifically address the needs and concerns of patients in Atlanta with varying goals, skin types and tones.
The original product is used for general skin rejuvenation and improves tone, texture, and clarity. Once your skin has healed, you will notice a reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
This treatment helps suppress the production of melanin, which reduces the appearance of sun damage, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and freckles. The resurfacing reveals a brighter complexion in just seven days.
A VI Peel Purify is effective for men and women with excessive oil production, acne scars, or acne with hyperpigmentation. It combines two treatments that can affect breakouts, scars, and hyperpigmentation. This treatment exfoliates the top layers of skin and removes excess oil. Targeting melanin production at the source minimizes scar tissue and uneven skin tone.
A VI Peel Advanced is designed for visible signs of aging and loss of skin elasticity. It is formulated to penetrate deeper and combat fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing your body’s natural collagen production. This helps to firm skin, including around the eyes.
This treatment targets acne and scarring by combining VI Peel Purify and Precision Plus benefits.
A VI Peel can help with various skin concerns without surgical treatments. It removes the top layer of skin so healthy skin cells can replace the old, dead cells. The results are a more even skin texture and firmer complexion.
In the following weeks and months, it also stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production to prevent the visible signs of aging. Addressing aging skin, acne, and scars can benefit people struggling with multiple skin concerns that usually require two different procedures.
While a VI Peel can improve skin tone, texture, and complexion, the results are not permanent. Your skin will continue to age, and you will notice changes over time. However, men and women in Atlanta can take steps to prolong the effects of a VI Peel.
For example, it is essential to minimize your sun exposure and use sunscreen SPF 30 or higher. UV light increases the breakdown of collagen and elastin in your skin and can cause sun damage. In addition, use high-quality skincare products to support your skin health, stay hydrated, and eat a nutritious diet high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Recovery from a mid-depth chemical peel typically involves several stages. Immediately after the procedure, your skin can look red and feel tight. Some people describe a stinging or burning sensation. The treated areas will be sensitive, and you could experience some swelling.
In the next one to three days, dead skin begins to shed. You will likely see some peeling and flaking, a normal part of the process. It is crucial not to pick at your skin as it can cause scarring and increase the risk of infection.
The peeling continues over the first week. During this time, you should keep your skin moisturized and hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a high-quality moisturizer. Peeling is usually completed by the end of the first week, but you may experience some residual dryness or flaking. It is also important to go to follow-up appointments so that your provider can monitor the healing process and address any concerns.
A VI Peel can improve skin tone, texture, and complexion with one treatment. Recovery often takes one to two weeks, but the results can significantly improve your skin’s firmness and appearance.
