What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel produces the most dramatic results. This chemical penetrates down to the lower middle layer of your skin. A chemical peel may or may not require pretreatment for up to 2 weeks. Your medical provider will provide specific instructions. A chemical peel is a treatment that is applied multiple times a year to your face and does have some social downtime.
How Much Do You Charge for a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels treatment costs vary and must be personalized to ensure that an appropriate treatment plan is developed to help you achieve your goals. Our peels start at $299 but can be combined with our other treatments that would increase cost. In most cases, chemical peels costs are affordable, due to the packaging peels together. If you’d like a more in-depth estimate of how much treatment would cost for your specific needs, schedule a custom consultation with one of our Skin Therapist.
How long does the peel application take?
• 10 minutes
Does it hurt? Chemical peel sounds scary!
• No, the VI peel is basically pain free. One of the acids is phenol, which has a mild numbing effect. You may experience a slight warming or tingling on application.
Is there any downtime?
• Varies by patient but day 3-5 is when you’re peeling the most. Some patients flake while others sheet peel. Nothinga hat and some moisturizer can’t hide.
Can I workout?
• No sweating until you start to peel. If you workout, don’t do anything too strenuous but light weights, pilates, walking is fine. Protect your skin through the healing process with SPF and a hat. Once majority of the peeling is done you can sweat again but he prepared to be a little more red for a day or 2.
When can I wear makeup?
• You can wear makeup at any point in your peel after the first 4 hours. Once you begin to peel makeup is harder to wear. Day 6-7 you will be back to normal for a full face of makeup.
How many peels per patient?
• 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 (think less pigment, smoother skin texture, and brighter, glowier skin overall), in general, we recommend a series of 3-4.
One peel will treat the skin and 3 will correct
What will I look like right after?
• Immediately after the peel, your skin may look slightly tan/orange and glowy. You will not look much different and should be okay going about your regular daily routine.
Night 1 Itchiness
• Yes, it is normal to experience itching on the first night of your VI Peel treatment. You may apply the Post Treatment Repair anti-itch Cream to your skin throughout the night and take an oral antihistamine. Avoid scratching your skin.
Sun exposure?
• You want to avoid direct and extreme sun exposure for the first 7 days. Make sure you’re applying your SPF 50 Sunscreen every morning. Also note that lifestyle sun exposure, like running errands, going for a walk, walking your dog, grabbing coffee, and driving, are all fine, as long as you are protecting your skin from the sun by wearing SPF and wearing a hat.
