What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to remove the outer layers of the skin, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. The depth of the peel can be adjusted based on individual skin concerns and goals.
BioRe Peel and Vi Peel are two of the most advanced peels available, designed to deliver significant skin improvement with little to no peeling or downtime.
BioRe Peel: The No-Peel, Anti-Aging Peel
BioRe Peel is a revolutionary chemical peel that provides deep exfoliation and skin rejuvenation without the visible peeling typically associated with traditional peels.
Benefits of BioRe Peel:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer skin
- Brightens skin tone and reduces pigmentation
- Helps treat acne and clogged pores
- Improves skin texture and hydration
- No downtime, making it ideal for all skin types
BioRe Peel uses a unique biphasic formula that includes trichloroacetic acid (TCA), amino acids, and vitamins to deeply renew the skin while maintaining hydration and barrier protection.
Vi Peel: The Gold Standard for Skin Resurfacing
Vi Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin clarity and texture while reducing the signs of aging and sun damage.
Benefits of Vi Peel:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Fades sunspots and hyperpigmentation
- Clears acne and acne scars
- Evens out skin tone and improves texture
- Safe for all skin tones, including darker skin
Vi Peel contains a proprietary blend of powerful ingredients, including TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, which work together to target multiple skin concerns in one treatment.
What to Expect During a Chemical Peel Treatment
The treatment process begins with a consultation to determine the best peel for your skin type and concerns. During the procedure:
- The skin is cleansed and prepped for the peel application.
- The chemical peel solution is applied evenly across the treatment area.
- The solution remains on the skin for a few minutes before being neutralized or left to self-neutralize, depending on the peel type.
- Patients may experience a mild tingling sensation, but discomfort is minimal.
- Post-treatment care instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and results.
Most patients see noticeable improvements in their skin within a few days, with continued enhancement over the following weeks.
