What Happens During A VI Peel Treatment

What Happens During A VI Peel Treatment
By Juanita Swindell

VI Peel is a gentle chemical peel that is used to nourish and improve the skin so it looks younger and healthier. This is a painless process with minimum downtime so it is great for anyone looking for a quick and safe way to get better looking skin.

Before The Procedure

Before starting the procedure, the practitioner will clean the area of skin that you want to get treated. This cleaning is done with acetone.

The Peel Procedure

After your skin is thoroughly cleaned, a layer of the VI peel is applied over the area. Slowly more layers are added on with a few seconds in between. The whole process can take about 20 to 45 minutes. The exact time will depend on the area that is being treated and the desired results.

After the required applications, the peel is left on your skin. Over the ensuing six hours, the peel will self-neutralize and your skin will start to look and feel tighter and smoother.

After The Peel Procedure

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will look darker as if it is tanned. After about three days, the skin in the treated area will begin to peel. This will go on for another three to four days. The peeling process should be completed around the seventh day. At this time your skin should be feeling smoother and have a more balanced tone.

Leaving the peel on for at least six hours will give it enough time to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin for longer lasting effect.

Caring For Your Skin After The VI Procedure

For best results of the VI Procedure it is very important that you take the proper precautions to avoid the risk of adverse reaction. For example, one of the most important post-treatment precautions is to stay out of the sun. Exposure to the sun can trigger off an adverse reaction.

In addition, you must avoid using any types of skin care products such as moisturizers, sun screens or make up remover on the treated skin for a few days after the procedure. Instead, the only product you can use is the contents from the post peel kit that you will receive after you've done the procedure. The kit contains various products with instructions to use each one. For best results, you must take time to read the instructions and follow them carefully.

The results of a VI chemical peel are noticeable slowly at first but the full extent of the improvement becomes prominent after about six weeks.
