Austin VI Peel
Our Austin VI Peels are a skin treatment that is used to improve the look of the skin on the face, chest, hands and other areas. This procedure is a medical-grade chemical peel so it is effective in improving skin conditions such as acne, acne scarring, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sagging skin, age/sun spots and enlarged pores. A VI Peel brightens the overall look of the skin, giving it a youthful appearance. Like some other chemical peels in Austin, the VI Peel can also aid in the removal of precancerous cells.
How does VI Peel in Austin Work?
Like most chemical peels, VI Peels remove the upper layers of the skin to let new, fresh skin that is smoother and more youthful looking shine through. The benefits of a VI peel over other Austin chemical peeling techniques are:
- VI Peels are virtually pain-free
- There is little to no downtime following the peel
- light peeling afterward that can be masked by moisturizer
- you can return to regular activities immediately
- safe on all skin tones and types
Candidates For VI Peel in Austin
Since the VI Peel can be used on all skin types, it is safe to have the procedure at 12 years of age or older. If you are suffering from skin conditions such as age spots or acne scarring, this peel is especially effective. It has also proven to be very effective on darker skin tones that don’t usually respond well to other types of chemical peels, such as African-American, Asian and Hispanic.
VI Peel Recovery and Results
During recovery, most patients will notice that their skin appears tan or red, which is normal. This will subside shortly after the procedure and you can return to regular activities immediately following the peel, but you must leave the peel solution on your face for 5 hours and avoid strenuous activity until the solution is washed off. The peeling process will most often begin about 3 days after the peel and can last from a few days to a week. Your skin will be extra sensitive so avoid make-up and sun exposure as much as possible during this time.
Many patients will see results within a few days after their Austin VI Peel. These results include an overall improvement in skin appearance with a more youthful glow and improved skin tone and texture.
