VI Peel And Other Chemical Peels

What are peels?

Peels are exfoliative treatments for your skin that use chemicals to facilitate the removal of dead skin cells and debris from the surface. Over time, dead cells accumulate on your skin’s surface and highlight features like wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. 

During a personalized peel at Integrated Dermatology of Tidewater, our providers apply a chemical formula to your skin. The formula causes your skin cells to slough off the surface eventually and allows for new cells to grow and replace them. 

What are the benefits of peels?

One of the main benefits of a chemical peel is that it increases skin cell turnover. This means that new cells grow quickly to replace old and dying cells, leaving you with younger and fresher-looking skin. When your skin goes through this process, it improves the appearance of unfavorable features like:

• Dullness
• Dryness
• Acne
• Acne scarring
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Hyperpigmentation
• Dark spots

We have several options for peels. Your provider will go over the appropriate peels with you after a thorough evaluation of your skin and a discussion about your skin concerns.

VI Peel

VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen production. Safe for all skin types, this gentle yet powerful treatment effectively targets acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

How VI Peel Works

VI Peel is formulated with a unique blend of powerful ingredients, including TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C. These ingredients work together to:

✅ Exfoliate the skin by removing dead cells and impurities
✅ Stimulate collagen production to improve elasticity and firmness
✅ Reduce hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma for a more even skin tone
✅ Control acne and reduce breakouts by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation
✅ Soften fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, younger-looking skin

What to Expect During Your VI Peel Treatment

1. Consultation: Your provider will evaluate your skin and customize the peel to your needs.
2. Application: The VI Peel solution is applied to your skin in a quick, painless process.
3. Peeling Phase: Over the next 3-7 days, your skin will shed old, damaged layers, revealing fresh, glowing skin.
4. Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to maximize your results and protect your skin.

Many patients notice visible improvements after just one peel, though a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

Who Can Benefit from VI Peel?

VI Peel is ideal for all skin types and tones, making it a great option for:

✔️ Teens and adults struggling with acne
✔️ Individuals with sun damage or dark spots
✔️ Anyone wanting a brighter, smoother complexion
✔️ Those looking to reduce signs of aging

Other Peels

Glycolic or Lactic AHA Peels

Glycolic and lactic alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) peels are mild and safe for most skin types. They provide a subtle reduction in wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and congested pores. If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, these peels are great options because they dislodge them. A series of four to six glycolic or lactic AHA peels provides optimal results. 

The TCA Peel

The TCA peel uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to reduce dark spots, scarring, fine lines, and sun damage. It’s a light-to-medium peel, but you can see a major difference after just one treatment. Depending on your skin’s condition, you can get TCA peels once every four to six weeks or quarterly to maintain your results. 

Micropeel

The Micropeel, with 20-30% salicylic acid, reduces your skin’s oil production to relieve acne breakouts and pore congestion. With four to six treatments, you’ll also see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
