Chemical Peels

in Athens, Georgia

At The Moore Center Med Spa in Athens, Georgia, we offer the innovative VI Chemical Peel, a revolutionary treatment designed to lift pigment, remove sun damage, alleviate acne and scarring, and fight fine lines and wrinkles. Our VI Peels are safe for all skin types and tones, delivering visible results in as little as seven days.

WHAT IS A VI PEEL?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth peel that penetrates the top layer of skin, promoting rapid cell turnover and revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin. This treatment is painless and suitable for all skin types, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance and health.

What to Expect

PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION

Before your VI Peel treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners to discuss your skin concerns and goals. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of retinoids and other exfoliating agents a week before your treatment.

THE PROCEDURE

  1. Cleansing: The skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities.
  2. Application: The VI Peel solution will be applied to your skin in layers. You might feel a slight tingling or warming sensation, but the procedure is generally painless.
  3. Duration: The peel solution will remain on your skin for a specific duration, typically 4-6 hours, before you wash it off at home as instructed by your practitioner.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

After the VI Peel, it’s crucial to follow the post-peel instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results:

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
  • Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
  • Avoid Picking or Peeling: Allow your skin to peel naturally; avoid picking at the peeling skin to prevent scarring.
  • Use Provided Products: Follow the skincare regimen provided by your practitioner, which may include specific post-peel products to enhance healing and results.

BENEFITS OF THE VI CHEMICAL PEEL

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE VI PEEL

The VI Peel works by using a blend of powerful ingredients that penetrate the skin’s surface to target problem areas at the cellular level. The key ingredients typically include:

  • TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid): Promotes skin shedding and regeneration.
  • Retinoic Acid: Stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover.
  • Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates the skin and reduces inflammation.
  • Phenol: Provides deep penetration and has antiseptic properties.
  • Vitamin C: Brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation.
