Understanding Chemical Peels
A chemical peel facial treatment is a cosmetic procedure performed by a skincare professional to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. During the treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process stimulates cell turnover, revealing smoother, fresher-looking skin underneath.
Chemical peels can vary in strength and ingredients, depending on the specific concerns being addressed and the desired outcome. There are three common types of chemical peels.
The first, called superficial peels. use mild acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. They are often used to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin tone.
The second, called medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin and typically use stronger acids, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to target more significant concerns like sun damage, acne scars, and moderate wrinkles.
And the third type, called deep peels penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and are usually performed using phenol or a combination of acids. These peels can effectively address severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, and scars, but they require more downtime and carry a slightly higher risk of complications.
Chemical peels use a solution of natural acids (AHA, TCA and phenol) to improve and smooth the skin texture by removing damaged outer layers. They are helpful in removing dark spots of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and skin damage from old blemishes. The precise formula of the peel acid balance is adjusted according to each patient’s needs. Chemical peel skin treatments stimulate fibroblast activity, increasing collagen and elastin production for firmer skin.
Benefits of VIpeel Chemical Peel
VI Peel treatments are a new type of chemical peel that is designed to improve skin pigment, remove sun damage, alleviate acne and scarring, and fight fine lines and wrinkles. VI Peel skin treatments are safe for all skin types and tones with results in as little as 7 days!
VI Peel is a type of chemical peel treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It involves the application of a solution to the skin, which typically contains a combination of ingredients such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamins. The VIpeel treatment works by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover, and stimulating collagen production. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.
A unique aspect of VIpeel is that unlike most chemical peel treatments, one size does not fit all. VIpeel is offered with five different treatment options. Beyond the general option, there is an option for those clients with acne or acne scarring. There is also an option for clients who want to specifically address wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Finally, Vipeel is offered as a first-of-its-kind, non-invasive, and pain-free chemical peel for the body.
One other notable aspect of VIpeel is that this treatment was selected by Cosmopolitan Magazine as one of their 2022 Holy Grail Beauty Awards.
The Vipeel Treatment Process
Before scheduling a treatment, it’s essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional at NAWI to determine the most suitable type of peel for your skin type, concerns, and desired outcome. The NAWI team will also provide pre-treatment instructions and post-treatment care to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
The Vipeel treatment process typically takes around 20-30 minutes and may cause some temporary discomfort or a minor stinging sensation during application. After the treatment, the skin may appear red or slightly swollen, but this usually subsides within a few days.
On the day of the treatment, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. Your NAWI provider may also apply a degreasing solution to ensure that the peel penetrates the skin evenly.
Next, the VIpeel solution is applied to the skin using a brush or cotton applicator. The solution contains a blend of powerful ingredients, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. These ingredients work together to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin texture and tone.
During the application process, you may experience a warm or tingling sensation on the skin, which is normal and typically subsides after a few minutes. If you experience any discomfort, your NAWI provider can provide a fan or cooling device to help alleviate it.
After the solution is applied, you will leave NAWI with the peel solution on your skin. Over the next few days, you will experience peeling and shedding of the outer layers of the skin as the treatment takes effect. This peeling process typically begins around day 2 or 3 post-treatment and can last up to a week, depending on the individual’s skin type and condition.
Post-treatment Skin Care and Maintenance
Following the VIpeel treatment, it’s essential to follow specific post-treatment care instructions provided by your NAWI skincare professional. This may include avoiding sun exposure, wearing sunscreen daily, using gentle skincare products, and avoiding picking or scratching at the peeling skin.
As the skin heals and regenerates, you will notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. VIpeel can produce visible results after just one treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Depending on your skincare goals and concerns, your NAWI provider may recommend a series of VIpeel treatments or combination treatments to maintain and enhance your results over time.
General guidelines for post-treatment VIpeel skin care
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least one week following the VIpeel treatment. UV radiation can irritate the skin and increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and protect the treated area with clothing or a wide-brimmed hat.
During the peeling process, it’s essential to use gentle skincare products that will not irritate the skin further. Avoid using harsh cleansers, exfoliants, or products containing retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) until the peeling process is complete.
Keep the skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer as needed. Moisturizing helps soothe the skin and minimize discomfort during the peeling process.
It’s essential to resist the urge to pick, peel, or manually remove the flaking skin. Let the skin naturally shed on its own to avoid scarring or disrupting the healing process. Picking at the skin can also increase the risk of infection and prolong the recovery time.
Avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating or heat exposure, such as strenuous exercise, hot baths, or saunas, as these can exacerbate irritation and discomfort.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out. Adequate hydration supports the skin’s healing process and helps maintain skin health.
Follow any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. They may recommend additional skincare products or treatments to enhance results and support the skin’s recovery.
Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your skincare provider to monitor your skin’s progress and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Potential VIpeel Side Effects
There are a number of potential side effects that are associated with chemical peel treatments. These side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own as the skin heals.
The treated skin may appear red or flushed immediately following the VI Peel treatment. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Some individuals may experience temporary tightness or tenderness in the treated area, particularly as the skin begins to peel. This sensation is typically mild and should resolve as the skin heals.
The VI Peel treatment stimulates exfoliation of the outer layers of the skin, leading to peeling or flaking in the days following the procedure. This is a normal part of the healing process and indicates that the treatment is working to reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath.
The treated skin may feel dry or itchy as it undergoes the peeling process. It’s important to resist the urge to scratch or pick at the skin to avoid irritation or potential damage.
After the VI Peel treatment, the skin may be more sensitive to sunlight. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin from UV radiation.
In rare cases, the VIpeel treatment may cause changes in skin pigmentation, such as temporary darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation). These changes are usually temporary and resolve over time.
Some individuals may experience temporary acne breakouts or flare-ups following the VI Peel treatment. This is often a result of the skin purging impurities and toxins as it heals.
In very rare cases, more serious complications such as infection, scarring, or allergic reactions may occur. These complications are extremely uncommon when the VIpeel is performed by a qualified skincare professional in a clinical setting.
