If you’re looking to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate your skin, a VI peel might be just the right choice. Discover how a VI peel can give you your best skin ever, here.
With so many choices out there for skin rejuvenation, how do you know which to choose? Well, if you’re looking for a treatment to address hyperpigmentation or acne scars or just provide a skin refresh before the cooler (and drier) weather comes, a chemical peel could be for you.
Chemical peels use a chemical exfoliant to remove some of your skin’s outer layers. Once the top layer is removed, the younger, fresher, and smoother skin underneath reveals itself, providing you with a radiant appearance.
There are many kinds of chemical peels available, but at Thomas Dermatology, our team utilizes the VI peel, a type of chemical peel made by Vitality Institute Medical Products. In this month’s blog, we review what you need to know about this particular chemical peel, including how it can help freshen up your skin before the temperatures drop this fall.
Understanding the VI peel
Chemical peels come in three different subtypes: light peels, medium peels, and deep peels. While they all use a chemical solution containing acid that aggressively exfoliates your skin, each kind of peel uses a different type of solution, depending on how deep it needs to go and how drastic you want your results to be.
A VI peel is a medium peel, meaning that it removes all of the outer layers of skin and a portion of the layer underneath. This chemical peel can also supply your skin with vital proteins and collagen to support new and optimal cell regeneration.
Medium peels such as the VI peel can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Hyperpigmentation or dark patches (melasma)
- Mild scarring
- Acne
- Sunspots
- Wrinkles and fine lines
Getting this peel can also smooth out skin that has an uneven or bumpy texture.
The benefits of a VI peel over other chemical peels
The VI peel comes in many varieties, and each one uses safe ingredients to effectively address your specific skin concern(s).
A huge risk with any type of chemical peel is that it will permanently lighten or darken your skin, particularly those who have a deeper skin tone. However, that risk is significantly less with the VI peel since the company has designed their peels to be safe for all skin types and tones with the ingredients they use.
In addition, the VI peel utilizes phenol, an ingredient that’s incredibly effective at removing unwanted dark spots, freckles, and discoloration on the skin.
