VI Peels FAQ in Alameda, CA

Can VI Peel burn your face?

In rare cases, sensitive individuals may experience pain, a burning or stinging sensation, swelling, or extreme redness after the VI Peel. If this occurs, you should wash your face with a mild cleanser and cool water. Use of the Post peel moisturizer (included) will soothe redness or irritation.

Which is better for wrinkles microdermabrasion or chemical peel?

For deeper wrinkles, a medium or deep chemical peel is the best option. For rough skin caused by sun damage, microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel will work. If you have severe damage or are at risk of melasma, medium or deep chemical peels are better suited.

How many vi peels do I need to see results?

For optimal results, generally a series of 3-4 VI Peel treatments are needed, however, many patients will see significant results with just one treatment. Peeling typically lasts 7 days and results are generally seen within a week once peeling has subsided.

Why does my skin look wrinkly after a chemical peel?

The likely reason that the skin does not yet look normal after your peel is that you only had your peel 4 days prior–you are still peeling. The Vitalize peel is a modified Jessner’s peel which can cause much more peeling than say a glycolic acid or salicylic acid peel. Continue to moisturize regularly.

Why is my face not peeling after chemical peel?

Don’t worry most people expect to have some peeling after a peel but it really depends on the condition of your skin at the time of chemical peel whether you peel or not.

Will a chemical peel remove deep wrinkles?

You’re typically a good candidate if you have lighter skin. If you have darker skin, you can still benefit from a chemical peel, but it may cause discoloration and uneven pigmentation after the treatment. The chemical peel also doesn’t help with skin sags, severe wrinkles, or deeper scars.

How can I speed up my peeling after a chemical peel?

Answer: Recovery after a chemical peel Unfortunately, there is no magic wand that will speed up the healing and peeling process after a chemical peel. I recommend you follow the instructions you received on gently cleansing your skin and keeping it hydrated as it recovers from the treatment.

How often should you get a VI peel?

A VI Peel is a moderate-depth chemical peel that may improve your skin texture and improve signs of aging. It uses a blend of ingredients that include salicylic acid, TCA, and phenol. You can get a VI Peel as frequently as every 4 to 6 weeks, and it can be used on all skin types.

Why do my wrinkles look worse after chemical peel?

Answer: Chemical peels don’t cause wrinkles. The more you peel your skin, the better it looks but sometimes the swelling from a peel can distort the creases or skin for the 1st 3-4 months so be patient. The end results from peels are usually seen 3-4 months later as it tightens skin and builds collagen up with time.

What chemical peels do dermatologists recommend?

Dermatologists recommend superficial peels if skin issues only affect the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. Because superficial peels do not penetrate the deeper layers, they carry a lower risk of side effects and the skin tends to recover more quickly.

How long does VI Peel peeling last?

Two to three days after the VI Peel application, the skin will begin to peel. This process can last between three and seven days, depending on the patient’s skin type and condition. Moisturizer can be used during this time to help mask the noticeable appearance of peeling.
