Chemical Peels Treatment Near Me in Opelousas, LA

The first signs of aging are often dreaded by many people, but youthfulness is not lost. There are many different types of aesthetic treatments available to combat wrinkles, fine lines, deep furrows and other common signs of aging. One of the most effective of these treatments is a chemical peel. Chemical peels come in varying strengths and types to address different levels of wrinkles, with some that are designed to target severe wrinkles and deep facial folds. These dermatologist-recommended treatments produce astonishing results and help regenerate the skin to reveal the young, healthy skin underneath.

What is a VI Peel?

A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates the top layer of skin and reaches into the layers underneath. VI Peels work by exfoliating the skin and stimulating the production of new skin proteins, such as collagen and elastin. The procedure is commonly used to correct pigmentation issues, to improve skin texture and to treat other signs of aging. VI Peels are made up of the following ingredients:

• trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (10 to 12 percent)
• phenol (10 to 12 percent)
• salicylic acid (10 to 12 percent)
• vitamin C (4 percent)
• tretinoin (0.1 to 0.4 percent)

What are the benefits of VI Peel?

VI Peels provide many benefits, including:

• Treats a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, pigmentations, fine lines, and skin laxity
• Has few risks of adverse effects
• Effectively treats acne scarring
• Little to no downtime
• Quick, safe and effective procedure
• Gentle enough to be used on the face, eyelids, hands, chest and back
• Can be used on all skin types

What to expect during and after VI Peel?

A VI Peel only takes about 30 minutes to perform and does not typically cause any pain or discomfort. It uses a blend of ingredients to break down the top layer of skin and reveal the healthy, new skin cells underneath. The exact procedure may differ slightly, but in general, patients can expect:

• First, the clinician will cleanse the skin of dirt and oil
• Then they will then apply the VI Peel solution in two layers
• Once the first layer is applied, patients may experience some numbness or tingling
• Once the second layer is applied, the skin will turn a pale color as it reacts to the peel
• About 4 to 6 hours later, the peel will be washed off
• About three days after the procedure, the skin will start peeling
