vi peel

Transform and refresh your complexion with a VI Peel to reduce hyperpigmentation, exfoliate skin cells, improve skin texture and clarity, and repair sun damaged skin for a truly flawless complexion.
VI Peels are a group of chemical peels that can improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. They are designed to address various skin concerns, including acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation. Regenesis offers a range of VI Peels tailored specifically to your individual needs. These painless medium-depth chemical peels are safe for all skin types and tones and provide results in as little as seven days. Unlike other chemical peels, VI peels target skin problems at the cellular level instead of just removing the outer layer of the skin. A VI peel contains a synergistic blend of five acids which allow it to penetrate deep into the dermal layer.

Here at Regenesis, we offer a full array of VI Peels including:

VI Peel Original – the essential peel for skin tone and texture
VI Peel with Precision Plus – the essential peel for skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation
VI Peel Advanced – the essential peel for maturing skin to help enhance collagen stimulation
VI Peel Purify – the essential peel fo0r active acne and oily skin
VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus – the essential peel for acne, acne scarring, and discoloration
VI Peel Body Kit – 4mL for small/medium body parts-for acne and hyperpigmentation
VI Peel Body Kit – 8mL for large body parts-for acne and hyperpigmentation

The VI Peel Precision plus is our most popular treatment. This medium-depth powerhouse peel works to suppress melanogenesis—the production of melanin—at the source while promoting rapid skin cell turnover for a more even and brighter skin tone. Resurfacing action reveals brighter, renewed skin for results in seven days. This peel is ideal for treating UV Sun Damage, Melasma, UV-Induced Pigmentation, and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Our second most popular VI Peel is the VI Advanced Peel which is formulated to combat the signs of aging. VI Peel Advanced is comprised of a synergistic blend of ingredients, which provides deeper penetration to soften fine lines and wrinkles. This targeted formula helps enhance collagen production and increases skin cellular turnover while promoting a decrease in the loss of skin elasticity. This peel is ideal for treating mature and aging skin (ages 40+), softening fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing away rough skin texture, while promoting collagen production.

How it works

A VI peel is a medium strength peel that contains a synergistic blend of five acids which allow it to penetrate deep into the dermal layer. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 10-12 % aids in penetration, healing of deep scars, and the stimulation and production of collagen. Tretinoin 0.1 to 0.4%, derived from vitamin A, helps to treat, and reduce wrinkles. A VI peel also contains salicylic acid which acts as an excellent exfoliant. The VI peel also contains phenol 10 to 12 %, which has antiseptic as well as anesthetic properties, and Vitamin C 4 %, which is an excellent antioxidant and exfoliating agent.

VI Peel treatments are designed to lift pigment, remove sun damage, alleviate acne and scarring, and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. VI Peels are gentle enough that they can safely be used on the face, chest, eyelids, hands, and back. This peel is formulated for use on all skin types and skin tones. This peel is also safe to use in areas that are usually avoided due to their sensitivity like the tissue surrounding the eyes, neck, chest, and hands. There is minimal downtime, it is virtually pain free, and patients can see beautiful skin in approximately one week.

faqs

what to expect from VI peel?

To 1A VI peel performed at Regenesis Medical Spa requires no preconditioning. The entire procedure lasts about 30 minutes. The VI peel solution is applied to cleansed skin and is left in place for a minimum of five hours. After the VI peel solution dries, the client can then leave the office and remove this peel at home. It is normal for clients to feel a mild tingling sensation that typically subsides within a few minutes after the VI peel has been applied. The peeling expected from a VI Peel is greatest on days 3-5 following the treatment, although a period 10 to 14 days should be allotted to allow a full recovery.

is a VI Peel painful?

A VI peel is a comfortable procedure. Most individuals tolerate the treatment well and experience minimal to no pain. However, some people may experience burning, and itching skin.

how long does it take to see results from a VI Peel?

You may notice an improvement in your skin’s appearance within a few days after your VI Peel. However, optimal results typically appear after a series of treatments.

is there any downtime?

The downtime after a VI Peel is minimal. Your skin may be red following a VI peel treatment. You may experience some peeling and flaking for a few days, but this can be easily managed with moisturizer and sunscreen. Your top skin layer will peel off for a few days following treatment. This may be less desirable if you have an important event, so you should consider this and similar factors when scheduling your treatment.

how many sessions are required?

The number of treatment sessions depends on your skin, goals, and how you
respond after the first session. While many see remarkable results following their
first treatment, people achieve the most optimal results after four to six sessions.

is the VI Peel safe for darker skin?

Yes. All VI Peel treatments are safe and effective for all skin tones.

how many peels do I need to start seeing results?

Everyone’s skin is a little different, and the number of peels needed for desired results varies from person to person, and from skin condition to skin condition. While just a single peel will achieve significant skin rejuvenation with improved hyperpigmentation, smoother skin texture, and brighter, glowing skin. Dr Hudson recommends a series of 3-6 peels for optimal results. Make sure to consult with your healthcare professional to find a VI Peel treatment frequency that is right for you.

how often can I get a peel?

For the best results, we suggest a peel every 4 to 6 weeks, and usually a minimum of three peels for most skin concerns. We do offer discounts for packages of three peels.

what do I need to avoid before & after having a peel?

If you are prone to cold sores, we will review the need for medication at your consultation appointment. Avoid Accutane for 3 months before a peel, and any abrasive or exfoliating products (retinol, glycolic acid, etc.) for at least 1 week before a peel and 2 weeks afterward. If you are allergic to salicylic acid, aspirin, phenol, or hydroquinone, you should NOT receive a VI Peel. Throughout your treatment, we ask that you avoid the sun and use sunscreen at least SPF 50 or higher. We can review other recommended skincare products at the time of your consultation.

can I exercise after getting a peel?

We do not want you getting overheated and/or sweating for at least 72 hours to
prevent blistering and/or hyperpigmentation.

are there any aftercare instructions I need to follow?

For the best results for a VI peel treatment, you should follow these instructions to achieve optimal results and reduce the risk of side effects. In the first four to six hours following treatment, wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Following cleansing, apply the provided moisturizer to soothe your skin and enhance recovery.

The long-term aftercare instructions include:
