F.A.Q

How is the VIPeel different from other peels?
Obsolete peels of the past, without exception, epitomize the “no pain, no gain” approach to skin care. Before VIPeel, the deeper the peel, the more painful, the more downtime, the better the results. VIPeel is the first Next Generation Aesthetic. It is painless, yet produces dramatic visible results in just days with little downtime.
Will the results be long lasting?
Like everything else in life, skin needs maintenance. The VIPeel’s results will last as long as skin care is maintained, sun exposure is moderate and preventive ageing with the VIPeel is performed three or four times per year.
What types of skin respond well to VIPeel?
The many innovations that created the VIPeel combine to enable the entire continuum of skin types to enjoy the benefits of the peel. For the first time, African and darker skin types such as some Asian and Latin skins can experience anti-ageing and restorative skin care previously unavailable.
What will the VIPeel do for my skin?
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. It is extremely effective in practically eliminating hyper pigmentation including melasma, the most difficult pigmentation issue to address

What will I look like right after the VIPeel and during the next few days? How badly will I peel?
The skin will look slightly tan to red immediately after the peel. On days one and two the skin will feel slightly tighter with no visible signs of having a peel except for looking slightly tan. Any pigmented areas might appear slightly darker, which is a good sign. On about day three, you will begin to peel. The first signs of peeling usually begin around the mouth area, continuing for a day or two. With the use of the VIDerm™ moisturizer, you may go about your usual daily routine. By day six or day seven you will be done peeling and the results are dramatic!
How many peels are needed?
The peel may be repeated as often as every two weeks, if necessary, for damaged skin. Our recommendation for average skin would be once every three months to prevent damage and the underlying aging of the skin. Your doctor or skin care professional will evaluate your skin, as well as your goals and expectations and make an appropriate recommendation for ongoing skin care.
How many treatments are required to show an improved look?
A single VIPeel will achieve significant repair and add a healthy glow to the skin. It is a true, restorative and painless repair of damaged skin including sun damage and acne. Best of all, it is a true aging preventive for younger skin with no visible damage.
Does it burn?
Not really. You will feel a slight stinging sensation for a few seconds which subsides completely almost immediately. The peel is applied topically, numbing of the skin takes place after the first pass.
The skin peeling associated with the VIPeel is a light, fluffy peel that will start on day three and generally be finished by the end of day four. The peeling is easily hidden by moisturizer. In some cases, the peel is virtually invisible.
Can I wear makeup after the VIPeel?
While the long term goal is to eliminate the need to use any makeup, it may be worn at any time after the peel solution has dried. Makeup should not be applied on the days that the skin is peeling, just moisturizer. Makeup can then be resumed at any time after the skin peels.
Can I go in the sun after the VIPeel?
Sun exposure should be limited and adequate protection with our SPF 30 with CLA should be used. However, the VIPeel 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, you can enjoy moderate sun exposure, continuing regular skin care maintenance.
Are teenage acne sufferers too young for the VIPeel?
VIPeel was originally formulated for acne sufferers. The peel is excellent for both adult and adolescent acne. Results are quick and very impressive. Combined with a daily skin regimen, almost all acne cases can be readily and safely managed.
Dryness, redness and peeling can be expected after the treatment. This is similar to sunburn and it is imperative that the peeling skin is not picked at or rubbed as it may scar.
