VI Chemical Peels
Reveal more youthful skin by exfoliating away the dead skin cells that leave skin looking dull and aged.
About Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions that are customized for different skin types and incorporate a variety of active ingredients that work to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, different layers of the skin will be targeted and the peel may be applied differently. The strength of a peel is controlled by the number of layers applied.
What They Are
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new healthier cells grow in its place.
There are different types of chemical peels that use different types of acids. Some acids are stronger than others, your provider will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
How it Works
What to Expect
On average, a chemical peel can take between 60 to 90 minutes depending on the type of peel and the number of layers being applied. Depending on the strength of your peel, you may feel a warm sensation throughout the application. You can expect to peel for about 4 to 6 days post treatment. You should avoid the sun and any active skin care ingredients (retinol, vitamin c, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
