If you are tired of your skin’s dull and uneven appearance, VI chemical peels offer a solution to many skin conditions. Chemical peels, praised for their variety, can treat moderate wrinkles to acne scars. At Laser Skin Care Center, we use VI chemical peels to help patients improve skin tone, texture, and condition for brighter, younger appearances.
What are VI Chemical Peels?
VI chemical peels are skincare treatments to improve the appearance of the skin. Due to the gentle nature of VI chemical peels, nearly any part of the body is an option, although the face, chest, eyelids, hands, and back are typical treatment areas. At Laser Skin Care Center, we offer a variety of high-quality chemical peels to suit your needs.
How Do VI Chemical Peels Work?
Be prepared to show up with a clean face and no makeup. The peel is applied directly to the skin. The peel encourages collagen and elastin production in the skin while peeling away the problematic top layers of the skin. After the VI peel removal, the skin is moisturized, and a hand-held fan or ice water-soaked gauze is available for your comfort.
Are There Any Side Effects with Chemical Peels?
The most common side effects are redness, flaking, and peeling, but they fade within a week. Laser Skin Care Center recommends not wearing makeup for the first two weeks to prevent irritation and prolong the healing process.
Your skin will be sensitive to sunlight afterward, so we recommend staying out of direct sunlight for the first two weeks. Laser Skin Care Center also recommends consistent use of sunscreen and moisturizer to prevent skin dryness and protect your new skin.
How Many Chemical Peel Treatments Do I Need?
Chemical peel results appear around two to three weeks after the initial treatment. Multiple treatments are needed for optimal results. The number of treatments varies depending on the conditions treated, your budget, and your goals, and each treatment is spaced at least four to six weeks apart.
Results of Chemical Peels
The results begin to appear around two to three weeks after the initial treatment; however, deeper chemical peels may take up to 4 months for the final results. You should experience a reduction of brown spots, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scars, and other skin conditions. Collagen and elastin production takes time to improve the appearance of your skin.
After your treatments, you may experience slight redness and peeling as your skin rejuvenates. Your dermatologist may recommend follow-up appointments to see how your skin is doing and plan for any updates to your skincare regimen.
