Vi Peel is the First Facial Treatment Recommended for Dark Skin Type!


Chemical peel treatments remove the outer, “dead” layers of the skin or epidermis. This allows the epidermis to become more permeable to nutrients. In addition, peels help reduce fine lines, smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of scars, and give a softer, suppler appearance to skin. They also reduce uneven pigmentation. 

The VI Peel has been safely used to manage acne in patients as young as 12 years of age and is effective for use on darker skin tones that have not historically responded well to other chemical peel procedures. It's a huge accomplishment for the Vi peel to have a product that works on all skin types. With new innovations for the first time, African-American and darker skin types such as some Asian and Latin skins can all benefit from the anti-aging and restorative skin care that was not previously available. 

The VI Peel tackles skin problems at the cellular level rather than just burning skin off. We now understand what a chemical peel in general does, but the question is what makes a Vi Peel any different. The Vi Peel has many acids and vitamins work together to erase fine lines and wrinkles, minimize enlarged pores, and build collagen and elastin to tighten the skin. It is extremely effective in practically eliminating hyper pigmentation including melasma, the most difficult pigmentation issue to address. The Vi Peel also provides excellent results for with acne. 

A VI Peel can be performed in a medspa or cosmetic dermatology clinic and can be administered by a licensed nurse, a certified aesthetician or a medical doctor. While older procedures for chemical peels included skin preconditioning, there is no preconditioning needed prior to receiving a VI Peel. The application process can take up to 30 minutes and involves the chemical solution being topically applied to the skin. The peel is then left on the skin for five hours and washed off by the patient at home. Some patients experience light stinging during application, which subsides quickly. 

Patients can receive VI Peels repeatedly every two weeks until they receive their desired results; however, most patients need only one initial treatment followed by regular peels three to four times per year for continuing skin renewal and luminosity. 

Most patients report noticeable results within a few days after receiving a VI Peel. Results will include an overall improvement in the appearance of the skin including a more youthful glow and improved tone and texture.

Juvederm and Restylane is the popular cosmetic procedure!

Juvederm is a “next generation” smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look and feel.
If you want more youthful appearance, but do not want the expense and problems of plastic surgery, then the use of skin fillers may be the answer. The favorite skin fillers among my clients used are Juvederm and Restylane. These gels are injected directly into your skin. It plump wrinkles so that your face looks smoother and make you look younger and more up to date.
Skin fillers can be used for deep lines in your face to make it look like you're always scowling. They can also be injected into the lips to give you the sensuous, voluptuous lips you've always dreamed of. Skin fillers can smooth your wrinkles, as well as the overall appearance of the front face has improved.
The great thing about Juvederm and Restylane is that they are quick procedures. It your doctor about fifteen minutes, a typical treatment, and you'll see the results immediately. For the most part, you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards. There are some things that should be limited to the first twenty-four hours. This includes avoiding alcohol, sunlight, and intense workouts. If you do not, you may cause facial swelling.
You may experience some swelling after dermal filler treatment is usually transient and mild and can be treated with an ice pack. Because there always is an infection of the puncture needle-related risk, you should be alert for signs of infection, and let your doctor know if the swelling, redness or pain persists for more than a few days.
Juvederm and Restylane youthful effects wear off after about a year, so you need to have regular injections to maintain their youthful looks. While there are costs associated, it is still less than a plastic surgery done. There is also much less risk and recovery time. For all these reasons,  this is why this procedure is so popular. 

I added two photos of before and after photos from the website, let me know how you feel about them.

Juvederm

JUVÉDERM® XC is the smooth gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment, you'll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year

Radiesse

Collagen is what gives volume, flexibility and strength to healthy, young skin. As a part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume and elasticity. This loss of elasticity and volume results in wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity -- all of which rob your skin of its youthful, fresh appearance.
