VI Peel AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS

Fine lines, dullness, acne scars, and pigmentation are issues we all have, especially as we age. Sometimes, it may be due to excessive UV exposure; however, it is often due to the aging process taking its toll. Chemical peels have always been an effective way to address skin concerns, and the VI peel is a popular choice to improve your skin texture.

This medical-grade treatment was formulated to improve your skin texture and tone by speeding up cellular turnover. The VI peel stimulates collagen production, making it an effective option for those who notice the first signs of aging. If you are looking to improve your skin quality, Dermacare Medical Aesthetics can set you up for a VI peel.

• Improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin

How VI Peel Works 

VI peel works like most chemical peels, using an acid solution to exfoliate the skin. This triggers the removal of the top layer of skin while stimulating a new production of collagen and elastin.

The VI peel is a combination of trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, vitamin C, and phenol. This combination offers a deeper exfoliating effect while addressing various skin imperfections.

The entire process starts with examining the skin and then removing lingering debris and oils. After that, our providers will apply the solution in layers on the skin. You might feel a warm sensation or mild tingling, but the treatment is usually well-tolerated.

Here are the key mechanisms that the VI peel works through:

• Keratolysis: Triggered by the salicylic acid, it promotes the removal of dead skin cells.
• Coagulation: The TCA creates a protective film on the surface of your skin. This keeps the active ingredients from slipping out.
• Pigment Reduction: Like other chemical peels, VI peels stimulate new cell growth in the epidermis while evenly distributing melanin, which leads to an even skin tone with fewer pigmentation issues. 
• Wound Healing and Inflammation: The acid solution triggers an inflammatory response in the skin, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin. This process improves skin texture and firmness.

The acid solution will stay on your face for four to six hours, after which time you can rinse it off at home. By this point, the acid is already soaked up in the skin and will continue the exfoliation process even after you cleanse the skin.
