Individuals who are searching for a non-surgical method for treating troublesome skin conditions may wish to consider a new method for exfoliating the skin at the cellular level: the VI Peel. This peel is a bit different from its predecessors in that it works for all types of skin, and it isn't painful. Whether one is young or old, male or female, or any ethnicity, the VI Peel can rejuvenate the skin by eliminating dark spots and wrinkles. The VI Peel is also valuable to those suffering from both adult and adolescent acne and can actually remove precancerous lesions.

To administer the VI Peel, a doctor or trained clinician applies a solution of mild acids to the top layer of skin. This causes the skin cell to slough off in a powdery manner after about three days. This peel works for those concerned with deep wrinkles, age spots, and acne. It can reduce the effects of scarring, thicken the skin, and bring back some of the skin's youthful elasticity. The effects are dramatic in about a week's time, but if further treatment is needed, a new peel can be done about every two weeks.

After a VI Peel, patients should be cautious about sun exposure but can usually resume normal activities the day after the procedure. The skin may be a little tender for a few days, but moisturizer will help.

Depending on the provider, a VI Peel can run from $400 to $500, but most patients are delighted with the results. If you are considering this procedure, call a local provider who will gladly answer your questions.
