HydraFacial works to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate skin. VI Peels and SkinPenĀ® are designed to treat acne, minimize pores, balance texture, and smooth skin.
VI Peel
Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin. To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin. We personalize our chemical peel treatments to fit your individual skincare needs. A chemical peel involves using acid solution alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other chemical peels to remove damaged outer layers of the skin.
Benefits
Treats acne, minimizes pores, balances texture, and smoothes skin.
Post-care
Treatment options can range in recovery times from zero downtime to a 1-week recovery.
- Gently cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser.
- Donāt pick or pull your skin at any time after your peel, as it can cause scarring.
- Your skin will take about 4 to 7 days to completely peel depending on the strength of the peel or treatment you received. Chemical peels on the body, chest, or arms often takes longer (up to 3 weeks).
- Please do not exfoliate using a cleansing brush or any facial scrub or acid based products for 2 weeks; longer if peel is done on the body.
- Do not use any products that contain AHA, Glycolic, Retin-A, or any acne medication until your skin has finished peeling (usually 7 days, but possibly longer).
- Keep skin well hydrated by drinking at least three 8-ounce glasses of water per day, and moisturizing throughout the day with a good moisturizer both day and night.
- Refrain from waxing, tanning, or using sunbeds for 3 weeks.
- Avoid working out and sweating for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
- SPF 30 or higher consistently throughout the day. Reapplying is so important for this will limit your skin from burning in the sun (even when itās cloudy out or when sitting by a window) and will minimize the chances of more sun damage and discoloration.
