VI Peel
This medium-depth chemical peel penetrates multiple skin layers to treat acne, acne scarring, melasma, fine lines, and sun damage while improving tone and texture. It contains a blend of acids and antioxidants, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, Retin-A, phenol, and vitamin C, plus other ingredients, depending on the specific peel you choose. Different VI Peel formulas add specialized ingredients to address targeted concerns.
ZO® 3-Step Peel
The ZO® 3-Step Peel is a medium-depth treatment that is safe for all skin types. It utilizes a blend of high-concentration acids (salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and lactic acid) and 6 percent retinol to exfoliate, stimulate cell turnover, and reduce inflammation.
The steps in the ZO® 3-Step Peel include:
- Exfoliation (Step 1): Salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and lactic acid remove damaged outer layers of the skin.
- Stimulation (Step 2): Retinol Crème Complex stimulates skin turnover, boosts collagen, and provides DNA protection.
- Calming (Step 3): A specialized Hydrating Crème containing glycerin and other ingredients helps minimize irritation, reduce redness, and restore moisture.
This peel is designed to treat acne, melasma, sun damage, and fine lines. It has a downtime of three to five days.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
Chemical peels offer a wide range of skin-enhancing benefits, including:
- Smoothing rough texture
- Brightening dull skin
- Reducing acne and skin congestion
- Fading hyperpigmentation
Chemical peels also stimulate collagen production, gradually softening fine lines and increasing skin firmness.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Ideal candidates for a chemical peel are people who struggle with acne, uneven skin tone, sun damage, fine lines, or dull texture. Chemical peels are suitable for a wide variety of skin types and tones, and are highly customizable, whether for first-time patients or those seeking more advanced skin rejuvenation.
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for a chemical peel is to schedule a consultation with one of the experts at Aspire Medispa. They will examine your skin, listen to your concerns, and select a peel that aligns with your goals and skin type.
How a Chemical Peel Is Performed
Before undergoing your chemical peel, you may be advised to avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure for several days. When you come in for your treatment, your skin is cleansed, and the chemical peel solution is carefully applied. You may feel warmth or tingling as the peel does its job, penetrating and exfoliating your skin.
The chemical peel solution is neutralized or removed at the appropriate time, and calming skin care products are applied to soothe and encourage healing. Chemical peels typically take under 45 minutes.
Chemical Peel Recovery & Aftercare
The extent of your recovery depends on the depth of your chemical peel. Medium-depth peels typically take one to two weeks to heal, and you can expect to experience peeling, mild swelling, redness, or flaking during this time.
You will receive aftercare instructions from your provider for caring for your post-peel skin, including using a hydrating moisturizer, sun protection, and gentle skin care (no active ingredients). Following their instructions is essential to protect your sensitive new skin and maximize your results as you heal.
