Our first line of defense is tretinoin, with a prescription line of products that takes the patient through the necessary steps of maintaining new skin. The Vi Derm Skin Care System should be used on a daily basis for best results. No. By sloughing off the old skin, forcing the body to recreate new skin at a faster rate in a sequence faster than its own rate, the skin actually thickens, stimulating the underlying structure to make more collagen and elastin.

All types of skin respond well to the Vi Peel. For the first time, Afro-American and darker skin types such as some Asian and Latin skins can experience anti-aging and restorative skin care previously unavailable.

It uses the synergy of all available and known modes of action of various acids to produce a multitude of positive effects. It tackles skin problems at the cellular level rather than just burning skin off. Thanks to the concerted actions of its many acids and vitamins, it will help erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink enlarged pores and build collagen and elastin which tighten skin.

The skin on the neck responds well. The Vi Peel has proven to help improve texture and quality with gradual softening of the lines and some tightening effects.

A chemical peel is a procedure that rejuvenates skin. Most individuals find benefit from the application of glycolic acid. In almost all cases, patients will notice a improved vitality of skin.

The skin will only be more sensitive, if at all, during the peeling process itself. The patient may experience up to four days of sensitivity until PH of the skin is replenished.

Those seeking skin resurfacing procedures (Blue Peel) usually have unhealthy skin. By improving important skin cell functions with the Obagi Nu-Derm System prior to the procedure, post-procedure care is enhanced and down time is reduced. Further, the post-procedure variables such as sensitivity, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, erythema and scarring are reduced. Early recovery of normal skin structure and function will ultimately boost satisfaction with the procedure.

Obsolete peels of the past, without exception, epitomize the “no pain, no gain” approach to skin care. Before Vi Peel, the deeper the peel, the more painful, the more downtime, the better the results. Vi Peel is the first Next Generation Aesthetic. It is virtually painless, yet produces dramatic visible results in just days with little downtime.

Sun exposure should be limited and adequate protection with a good sunscreen should be used. As part of the Vi Derm™ Skin Care System, sunscreen is provided to the patient along with moisturizer. However, the Vi Peel was created to be practical. The only days where exposure to the sun should be seriously avoided are days three and four, when the skin is peeling, to avoid uneven exposure. After that, the patient can enjoy moderate sun exposure.

The doctor can perform the Vi Peel, as well as a licensed nurse or certified aesthetician. Each state has its own rules and regulations, however, so the doctor is responsible for seeking the advice of his legal advisor to ensure compliance.

When the Green Peel™ compound is massaged into your skin, the herbs own micro particles lightly polish the upper layers of skin (epidermis removal). Other active ingredients in the herbal preparation also penetrate the skin where they are absorbed by the cutis within 48 hours. Once absorbed they release valuable, natural active substances such as vitamins, plant hormones, enzymes and other beneficial ingredients into the skin.

Artificially removing the outer layer of skin by a process called peeling or exfoliating helps speed up the body’s natural process of skin renewal. The skin grows back without replicating many of the problems that have developed during its life—such as fine lines, sun damage, dark spots etc. Consistently removing the outer layers of skin (epidermis) results in a skin that is well hydrated, less pigmented and more youthful looking.

It’s as easy as 3-4-7. With a single 3-4 minute application, 100% guaranteed results are dramatic in just seven days!

Again, the Vi Peel was created to be practical. We only ask that the solution be left on the skin for five hours prior to exercising, washing it off immediately before commencing exercise.

Of course. In some cases, the physician may recommend pre-medication prior to the peel. If the patient breaks out with a sudden cold sore the day of the peel, often the Vi Peel will eliminate the sore and medication may be started concurrently.
