What is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medical grade chemical peel made with a unique blend of powerful ingredients, including salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, vitamin C, and retinoic acid. By removing the top layer of skin (the epidermis) and the uppermost section of the dermal layer beneath, the VI Peel eliminates the dirt, bacteria, and congestion that cause acne. The peel also helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars, ultimately improving the tone, texture, and clarity of the skin.
How to Prepare for a VI Peel
Before your VI Peel, there are some important steps you’ll need to take to ensure optimal results and minimal downtime:
- Avoid active skincare ingredients for at least a week prior to your treatment, including prescription retinoids, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, and salicylic acid.
- Steer clear of hair removal methods like waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal for at least a week beforehand, as these can weaken the skin’s barrier and cause irritation.
- After your treatment, expect a few days of downtime, during which your skin may appear darker as pigmentation is brought to the surface. Use gentle, fragrance-free products to soothe and moisturize your skin, and resist the urge to pick as your skin peels away.
