VI PEEL

Revival uses the safe and effective VI Peel system to transform your skin. VI peels represent the next generation in chemical peels with self neutralization. Each treatment is virtually pain free with extraordinary results in as little as 7 days. Unique from other peels, the VI Peel fortifies the skin with vitamins and minerals while going through the exfoliation process, which results in minimal downtime!

VI Peels are suitable for ALL skin types, including sensitive skin and darker skin tones. They offer specifically designed treatments that are convenient and targeted to address:

​

· Anti-aging

· Melasma

· Sun spots

· Acne and acne scarring

· Acne on the chest and back

· ‘Chicken skin’ or keratosis pillars on the back of the arms

· Ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation in the bikini area

· Clogged pores

· Rough textured skin

· Uneven skin tone

​

All peels come with 7 days of required skincare for after application.

before your appointment

  • Stop using retinols and acids at least 3-5 days before your peel.

  • Download the VIPEEL app from the App Store prior to appointment. This will give you step by step instructions for your aftercare.

  • Wear a tank top, v-neck or something loose so that you can easily access face, neck and chest. Darker clothing is suggested.

  • Wash face with gentle cleanser to remove all make-up, oils and products.

after your appointment

  • Do NOT workout during the first 2 days of the peel. No overheating and profusely sweating. The heat may cause peel to penetrate more deeply and unevenly.

  • Use the Gentle Cleanser sparingly, a little goes a long way and the 2 cleanser packets will last you all 7 days. Wash face with cool winter and keep face out of hot shower and away from heat sources.

  • You may begin using the post peel cream provided immediately after your face wash post peel. You can use it ANY time that you feel the need.

  • You will start peeling around your mouth first, then out toward your cheeks and hairline.

  • DO NOT scrub your face and do not pull at the peeling skin. You run the risk creating a tear on your face, this can scar.

  • Day 4 and 5 are typically the heaviest peeling. A VI Peel applied on Wednesday will typically result in the heaviest peeling Saturday and Sunday.

  • Body Parts- chest, arms, and back can take 7 days to start peeling and often only flake.

  • Do not do lash extensions 7-10 days post peel. Adhesives as well as the pads under the eyes can cause irritation and swelling.

  • Avoid the sun for the duration of the peel (7 days) and you must ware SPF 40-50 even if overcast.

  • You may peel up to 10 days. Areas with sun damage and spots will peel a day or two after all the skin around those spots has come off. Those spots require extra work under the surface to repair and push out the excess melanin.

  • Some people will get a “double peel” around their nose and chin area. (A little extra red and dry)

  • Continue doing a mechanical and/or glycolic exfoliation weekly post peel. This is how you elongate the effects of the peel and maintain smooth skin.

 

Purging/Breakouts:

  • Purging is a normal side effect of the peel. For some, it is minimal and for others it can be significant. This should resolve in 10-14 days post peeling. The peel will dry out surface breakouts, but deep acne will still come to the surface.

 

Pigment:

  • The VI peel is designed to lift pigment and help lighten the skin. Pigment comes from the papillary dermis and may look as though its worsening before it gets better, however this is the time to REALLY attack those melanocytes with additional methods, and this is why I may recommend we do peels as a series.

  • Pigment darker at day 4-7 or even 9-10 is normal. For stubborn and heavy pigment treating with skin lightening complex, retinoic serum, vitamin C brightening complex, and age-defying treatment moisturizer. Neocutis Medical Grade Skin Care available for purchase.
