How Does The VI Peel Work?

VI Peel Skin Renewal Treatment
Advanced chemical peel in Houston for acne, dark spots, and smoother skin

Melanin creates the pigment of our skin and lives within our skin cells.  When melanin is overproduced, the skin exhibits hyperpigmentation or spots.  VI Peels focus on lifting and exfoliating those skin cells to allow our body to produce new cells that are healthier and less pigmented.  The process of exfoliation also smooths the surface of our skin creating softer smoother texture.

The VI Peel process typically involves a 20-45 minute application, followed by a waiting period (4-6 hours) before washing off, and then a peeling phase that usually begins around day 3 and lasts for several days.  Regardless of what you see in epidermal exfoliation (the amount of skin shedding), dermal biostimulation is always occurring.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the VI Peel process:

• Day 1: The Peel Application

  • Our Aestheticians deep cleanses your skin and applies the VI Peel solution in two phases. 

  • The first phase penetrates into the cells on the skin's surface, and the second phase goes deeper into the dermis. 

  • You may experience a mild burning or tingling sensation, which is normal. 

• Day 2: Skin Feels Tight & Darkens

  • Your skin may feel tight and appear slightly red or tan, similar to a mild sunburn. 

• Days 3-6: Peeling Begins and Intensifies

  • Peeling typically starts around day 3, with the most intense shedding occurring on days 3-6. 

  • The peeling process can last from 3 to 7 days. 

  • It's crucial to avoid picking or tugging at the skin, as this can cause scarring, irritation, redness, and hyperpigmentation. 

• Day 7: Glowing, Radiant Skin

  • By day 7, most patients have stopped peeling, and the fresh, glowing skin underneath is revealed. 

• Aftercare:

  • We will provide you with a take-home kit with specific post-treatment instructions and skincare products. 

  • Follow the instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and results. 

  • Be gentle when washing and drying your face, and wear sunscreen. 

After one VI Peel treatment, you can expect to see improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance, with some people noticing visible results within a week or two after the peeling process. While a single peel can be effective, a series of treatments may be recommended for more severe skin concerns, with full results becoming apparent in 4-6 weeks. 

Here's a more detailed look at what to expect:

Initial Results (Within a Week or Two):

• Improved Skin Texture: The VI Peel exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and leading to smoother, more refined skin. 

• Enhanced Skin Tone: The peel can help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation (dark spots). 

• Visible Radiance: The new, regenerated skin layer often appears brighter and more luminous. 

Longer-Term Results (4-6 Weeks):

• Continued Improvement:

  As the skin continues to heal and regenerate, the results of the VI Peel become more pronounced. 

• Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles:

  The peel can stimulate collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

• Faded Acne Scars:

  The VI Peel can help to fade acne scars and improve the overall appearance of acne-prone skin. 

Factors to Consider:

• Individual Results Vary:

  The extent of results can vary depending on individual skin type, concerns, and the number of treatments received. 

• Multiple Treatments for Optimal Results:

  For more severe skin concerns or to achieve optimal results, a series of VI Peel treatments may be recommended. 

• Proper Aftercare is Crucial:

  Following the recommended aftercare instructions, including using sunscreen and gentle skincare products, is essential to protect the skin and maintain the results.

FACTOR FIVE Stem Cell Peel

This isn’t just any chemical peel—it’s the first comprehensive skin remodeling system that combines professional chemical exfoliation with FACTORFIVE’s stem cell factors.

Dermal peels have surged in popularity for their ability to penetrate the skin, disrupt cellular bonds, and generate low levels of inflammation.

This signals the body to initiate skin remodeling and restoration. While traditional peels rely on this principle, Renew Dermal Solution takes it to the next level by incorporating stem cell factors into a two-step treatment system.

Our RDS1 Penetrating Solution pairs a potent dose of TCA with our RDS2 Calming Solution—a concentrated blend of topical stem cell factors. This unique combination provides your skin with the essential proteins it needs to remodel and rejuvenate, delivering unparalleled results.

Following the exfoliation, RDS2 Calming Solution is applied to deliver a potent dose of topical human stem cell growth factors precisely where your skin needs them most. This blend of beauty and biology is at the heart of Renew Dermal Solution’s efficacy, and the results speak for themselves.
