Chemical peels are non-surgical aesthetic treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face or body. They work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is typically smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance
Peels improve a number of conditions including, but not limited to: wrinkles, acne scarring, scarring, uneven pigment, and sunspots. They are also good for rejuvenating rough and aged skin. There are a variety of solutions intended to address specific conditions and degrees of damage. Depending on the extent of correction needed, the depth and intensity of the chemical peel can be adjusted, addressing mild to severe cases.
The VI Peel is a type of chemical peel that is known for being less painful compared to traditional deep peels, but it's important to note that individual experiences can vary. It's designed to be gentle yet effective, making it a popular choice for those seeking improvements in skin texture, tone, and appearance without significant discomfort or downtime.
During the VI Peel treatment, you may experience sensations such as tingling, itching, or a mild burning. These sensations are generally well-tolerated and are often described as less intense than what one might experience with more aggressive chemical peels. The VI Peel solution contains a blend of ingredients, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and vitamins, which work together to minimize discomfort while effectively treating the skin.
After the application of the peel, these sensations typically subside. In the days following the treatment, you can expect the skin to start peeling, which is a normal part of the process as the outer layers of damaged skin are shed to reveal newer, healthier skin underneath.
After a VI Peel, you can generally expect minimal downtime, but it's important to be aware of how your skin might look and feel in the days following the treatment. The VI Peel is designed to be a gentler chemical peel, allowing for a more comfortable experience compared to deeper peels. Here's what you can typically expect:
- Immediate Post-Peel Period: Right after the peel, your skin may appear slightly red or tan, which is normal. Most people can return to their daily activities immediately after the peel without any significant downtime.
- Peeling Process: The actual peeling usually begins around the second or third day after the treatment. This process can last anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on your skin type and the specifics of the peel. During this time, the outer layers of damaged skin will flake and peel off, revealing new, rejuvenated skin beneath.
- Appearance During Peeling: The peeling can be noticeable, so some individuals prefer to take a few days off from work or social activities due to the appearance of their skin. It's primarily a cosmetic concern rather than a medical one.
-Skincare and Sun Protection: Following the post-peel instructions is crucial for optimal results and skin health. This typically includes using a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and most importantly, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the new skin. Avoiding direct sun exposure is critical, as the new skin is very sensitive to the sun and can easily be damaged.
- Restrictions: You'll be advised to avoid certain activities that could interfere with the healing process, such as strenuous exercise, swimming, or using hot tubs, as well as avoiding exfoliating products and practices until your skin has fully healed.
While the VI Peel is designed for reduced downtime, individual experiences can vary. Some people might find that their skin recovers quickly, while others might have a slightly longer healing process. It's important to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by Ulala and to contact us if you have any concerns or unusual reactions following the peel.
The number of VI Peel treatments needed can vary depending on various factors, including your
specific skin concerns, the severity of those concerns, and your desired outcome. In many cases,
individuals see noticeable improvements after just one VI Peel treatment. However, for optimal
and long-lasting results, a series of treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks may be recommended.
As a general guideline, VI Peel recommend the following number of treatments per condition:
1. Tone and Texture – 1 to 2 treatments
2. Fine lines and wrinkles – 2 to 3 treatments
3. Active Acne – 3 to 4 treatments
4. Acne scarring – 3 to 4 treatments
5. Melasma and sun damage – 4 to 5 treatments
