VI Peel in Reston, VA

WHAT IS A VI PEEL?

A VI Peel is a brand of chemical peels used for our in-office treatments. Chemical peels are an effective solution to common skin issues including pigmentation, acne, scars, and fine lines. What is sometimes referred to as “chemexfoliation” has been used for hundreds of years for both clinical and aesthetic purposes. But what makes VI Peel the best choice for chemexfoliation?

WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?

This painless application involves sweeping strokes of a liquid formula via gauze, with time in between each layer for the product to absorb and the technician to assess your skin’s reaction. Once the product is applied, you might look a little flush or even a little tan. Your practitioner will provide you with a take-home kit with specific post-treatment instructions to ensure the best VI Peel experience. A typical post-peel will show some flaking by day 2 and peeling by day 3 — 5. By day 6, the peeling will ease. By day 7, most patients stop peeling.
