Different Types of VI Chemical Peel for Different Skin Concerns

VI chemical peels represent a straightforward solution to various skin concerns. These peels address specific skin issues such as aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Unlike traditional skin treatments, VI Peels offers a targeted approach, catering to different skin types and conditions. River Oaks Skin Institute offers comprehensive VI peel options, from basic VI Peel to specialized types like VI Peel Purify, Precision Plus, and Advanced. Each is meticulously formulated to address distinct skin concerns. The diversity simplifies the process of skin rejuvenation, making it accessible and practical.

What are VI Peels?

VI chemical peels are very similar to the standard chemical peels. They still use chemical solutions to the skin to exfoliate it and cause a peeling effect. The goal is also to reveal a new, smoother layer of skin beneath, giving a more youthful impression. 

But what sets VI Peels apart from other chemical peels is their specialized formulations. They are designed to target specific skin concerns. For instance, a few VI Peel types focus on minimizing the signs of aging, while other types offer wrinkles and fine lines, and some are tailored to address acne, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage. The versatility of VI Peels makes them suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

Another key aspect of VI Peels is their convenience and relative comfort compared to other, more invasive skin treatments. They are known to be less painful, and the process is usually quick, making them a practical choice for those with busy lifestyles. The recovery time is typically shorter than with more aggressive procedures, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities.

Different Types of VI Chemical Peels

VI Chemical Peels come in different types, each formulated to address specific skin concerns. Let’s take a closer look at these varieties:

1. VI Peel Original: This is the standard version of the VI Peel, designed for general skin rejuvenation. It’s a great starting point for those new to chemical peels. The Original peel effectively improves the skin’s overall texture, reduces signs of aging, and tackles mild skin imperfections.
2. VI Peel Precision Plus: Developed for more specific issues like sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and melasma, the Precision Plus peel goes a step further. This peel offers unique formulas that target dark spots and uneven skin tone. If you want to brighten your complexion and achieve a more uniform skin appearance, this is for you.
3. VI Peel Purify: This peel is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin. It works by tackling acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and clearing congested pores. If you’re struggling with breakouts or oily skin, the VI Peel Purify could be an effective solution.
4. VI Peel Advanced: As its name suggests, this peel is designed for more progressive aging indications, such as deeper wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. It’s particularly suitable for mature skin, helping to rejuvenate and firm up areas that show the effects of aging.
5. VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus: This is a combination peel that addresses acne and skin pigmentation issues simultaneously. It’s a good choice if you’re dealing with acne scars or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from previous breakouts.

VI Chemical Peel Procedure Experience

A typical VI chemical peel experience starts with cleansing your skin. This helps clear dirt, oil, and makeup to make way for the chemical peel solutions. Once your skin is prepped, the aesthetician or dermatologist will apply the VI Peel solution. As the solution settles on your skin, you might feel a tingling or mild stinging sensation. This feeling is normal and indicates that the peel is starting to work. It’s typically not painful, and many describe it as a slight, temporary discomfort.

After the application, we may leave the solution on your skin for a specific period, depending on the type of VI Peel and your skin condition. During this time, the peel works to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. Unlike some other treatments, there’s no need to neutralize the solution; it’s designed to self-neutralize, which adds to the convenience of the procedure.

Once the peel has done its work, the solution is washed off, or in some cases, you might be instructed to leave it on for a bit longer before washing it off at home. 

Aftercare

It’s normal to experience some redness or sensitivity immediately after the peel, but these side effects are typically mild and subside quickly.

Over the next few days, you’ll notice the peeling process. This is when the top layer of your skin gradually flakes away, revealing fresher, rejuvenated skin underneath. The peeling experience will vary from person to person, but generally, you’ll be able to manage it just fine without any, and it won’t impede your daily routine. 

Here are some general guidelines for your aftercare:

1. Avoid Applying Skincare Products for 24 Hours: Right after your VI peel appointment, we recommend you stop using any skincare products other than those recommended by our practitioner.
2. Do Not Peel or Pick at the Skin: Allow the skin to peel naturally to prevent scarring or infection.
3. Moisturize Gently: Use a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin and reduce peeling. Avoid heavy or oily creams.
4. Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, as the skin will be more sensitive to sunlight.
5. Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Avoid physical activities that will make you sweat a few days after your treatment. 
6. Stay Away from Heat: Avoid hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms during the healing process.
7. Stay Hydrated: Hydrate yourself consistently with water to assist in your skin healing and maintaining elasticity.
8. Avoid Picking at Peeling Skin: Allow the peeling process naturally, picking it will hamper the effects. 
9. Limit Sun Exposure: Shield your skin from the sun, especially during peak hours, to prevent hyperpigmentation.
