Vi peel-the latest facial peel for all complexions -as featured on ABC TV and in InStyle magazine

Nikki and I are pleased to offer you the most advanced "minimal downtime" peel. Developed by a Miami cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Kalil, this peel contains a proprietary combination of vitamin C, Retin-A , phenol and several other peeling acids, which, when combined together, make for a gentle procedure that is safe even for darker skin types. The treatment is applied in 3 minutes and works over 4-7 days to improve acne, reduce age spots and pigmentation .and improve skin texture.

Immediately after the treatment, the skin will look slightly tan or red. For the first few days, the skin will feel tighter than usual. On day 3 and 4 there will be mild peeling which can be controlled with extra moisturizer. Most patients will see results in one treatment.

Peels are a noninvasive way to retexturize and brighten the skin. Topical exfoliants are used to lighten sun damage, age spots, and light scarring. This intensified resurfacing action provides measurable results for virtually any skin type. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. The Vi Peel will:

• Improve the tone, texture and clarity of your skin
• Reduce or eliminate age spots, freckles, and hyper-pigmentation, including melasma
• Soften lines and wrinkles
• Clear acne skin conditions, reduce or eliminate acne scars
• Stimulate the production of collagen, for firmer, more youthful skin

The ViPeel has the positive effects typically associated with the more powerful or aggressive peels. However, the Vi Peel does not have the discomfort and downtime that comes with those older aggressive peels. People note that they feel fresher and cleaner after the process.
