Who benefits from the VI Peel?
The VI peel works on all skin types: light, medium, and dark, mainly because it’s a comfortable and safe procedure. It’s so gentle, it can be applied to areas underneath the eyes. For many of us, we’re always looking for ways to remove dark areas, firm the surface of the skin under the bottom eyelid, and remove those ‘crow’s feet’, or aging lines around the eyes.
Have you ever heard of a custom skin treatment? Depending on the needs of each individual, the VI Peel can be adjusted to fit your skin type, skin damage level, availability, and personal needs.
The VI Peel can be applied once a month, with 2-4 treatments, for more damaged skin. Or, for those looking to maintain an already healthy skin tone – 1 or 2 treatments per year will do the trick. Skincare experts, during your first visit, will determine what your skin needs and when to start the process of creating that glow.
Before you leave, you will understand your treatment goals and have a plan for your upcoming skincare procedures. Planning ahead allows for scheduling the best times for your future treatments.

During the recovery process
The face mask that was applied with the treatment can be taken off after 5 hours, in the safety of your home. The mask is easy to remove by simply washing away the remnants of the ingredients. You will experience flaking and peeling of skin as the dead skin cells fall away.
But beware of sore skin or any type of irritation; these are not normal. You should contact your skincare physician if this occurs. When all goes well, a new skin surface will appear after six days, and the peeling or flaking will stop.
The choice of downtime is yours. Some patients prefer to stay home, while others go right back to work. However, you must remember to avoid UV rays because new skin is more vulnerable to these elements. Overexposure from the sun will damage your skin once more, possibly causing additional skin problems to arise.
After procedures, a doctor-approved sunscreen is offered for the time you do have to go outside. Even so, it’s also smart to wear hats or visors to limit skin exposure. Protecting the results of your new skin is a must.
