Types Of Chemical Peels
The medical-grade peels use a combination of medicinal and natural methods to erase the signs of your ageing. This is accomplished by concentrating not only on the symptoms but also on the underlying issues producing those symptoms. A peel can give you the desired results, whether you are struggling with sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, or any combination of these and other skin issues. Chemical peels can range from superficial to thorough, depending on the problem you want to address.
What Is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel that is suitable for all skin types and tones. It combines powerful rejuvenating acids and ingredients like phenol, vitamin C, tretinoin, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid to target sun damage, melasma, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation.
What Areas Can the VI Peel Treat?
With multiple unique formulations, VI Peels offer a quick and painless procedure designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by addressing:
- Age spots and freckles
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation, including melasma
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven texture
- Dull tone
What To Expect From A Chemical Peel at Sandy Key Medical?
Whether you choose a chemical peel or a VI Peel, the treatment steps are nearly identical. Your experience starts with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your medical history and goals. Then, we will create a tailored treatment plan based on your needs.
Preparing for Your Peel
Being proactive is the best way to get results you’ll love. Eat a protein-rich and vitamin C-rich diet. Quit smoking or using nicotine products at least two weeks before and after your peel to aid healing and cell regeneration.
Our experts also recommend avoiding:
- Sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks before and after treatment. Wear an SPF 30 or higher sunblock daily.
- Certain medications, including Accutane, antibiotics, or blood thinners and supplements.
- Other facial treatments for at least one week before your appointment.
- Skin products like retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide for three to four days beforehand.
After the procedure, the patient’s skin might appear flushed or pink, but this effect generally goes away fairly quickly, usually within a few hours. People will almost instantly notice a difference in their skin after treatment, but the effects are progressive and should keep getting better over the coming few weeks.
Peel Procedure
During a chemical peel, our team will apply a specifically formulated medical-grade chemical solution to your skin, which may cause a mild tingling or stinging sensation. Depending on your chosen peel depth, the solution will remain in place for a specific period before we neutralize and remove it.
VI Peels take place in two phases. The initial peel addresses the superficial layers, followed by a second step that penetrates the dermis. Patients typically experience slight tingling or warming; however, the VI Peel process is generally well-tolerated.
After the solution dries on your skin, you can leave our office and return to your daily routine. For best results, wait at least four hours before washing off the peel with a mild cleanser and using post-peel towelettes and cream to speed cell turnover.
VI Peels can take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Aftercare
Following your peel, our experts will provide detailed aftercare instructions, plus a take-home post-treatment kit if you chose a VI Peel.
Your skin may start peeling two to three days after treatment. Your skin will be more sensitive than usual during this period. Keep the treated area moisturized and wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher or protective clothing before going outside.
VI Peels require no downtime, allowing you to resume most activities immediately. However, avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may cause sweating for 72 hours.
Your Peel Results
Most patients start peeling by the third day after their peel and continue for around a week. Do not touch or pick at your skin during this time. You’ll notice gradual improvements as you heal, revealing a fresh complexion.
Some patients see a dramatic improvement following a single chemical or VI Peel. However, you may need a series of peels scheduled every four to six weeks to achieve your aesthetic goals. Your Sandy Key specialist will recommend an ideal treatment regimen during your consultation.
To ensure optimal results, follow all aftercare instructions, including appropriate sun protection, proper skincare, and follow-up treatment. Our experienced team ensures your comfort and satisfaction, making your quest for clear, beautiful skin a positive experience.
Good Candidates for Peel Treatments
Peel treatments are ideal for almost anyone looking for a minimally invasive way to improve their skin’s appearance. You may want to address issues like hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, wrinkles, acne, and uneven tone and texture. The best candidates are healthy nonsmokers with realistic expectations about their results. Prepare to follow all your post-peel care instructions, including avoiding significant sun exposure before and after your procedure.
Peels may not be suitable for everyone. You are not eligible for this treatment if you are pregnant or nursing, allergic to the ingredients, immunocompromised, or have active skin infections. Discuss your health history during your consultation to determine the best treatment options.
