What is it? The Vitalize™
peel combines the best of alpha-hydroxy acid and retinoic acid to provide a
strong, but gentle formulation. Even after one peel you will notice improvement
in your skin’s texture and tone, a reduction of fine lines and a healthier more
youthful appearance. Dramatic results are achieved with a series of peels.
The Vitalize™ Peel has been
clinically proven to help pigmentation problems (such as age spots) fade, and
helps to stimulate collagen production. The Vitalize™
Peel is safe and effective for all skin types.
Benefits: The Vitalize™
Peel exfoliates dead skin cells, tightens enlarged pores, improves hyper
pigmentation due to pregnancy (melasma), reduces acne and acne scars as
well as helps with tiny, fine lines and wrinkles.
Down Time: Your skin may peel for approximately 3 to 5 days.
What will my skin feel like during and after my Vitalize Peel®?
During your Vitalize Peel®, you will experience a warm, tingling sensation. This procedure is quite tolerable and requires no pre-medication. After your peel, you may continue to experience mild tingling.
How long after Vitalize Peel may I return to normal activities?
You may return to normal activities immediately following your Vitalize Peel®. You may experience mild redness or tingling following your peel. One to three days following your procedure you will notice mild to moderate peeling of the skin that can be concealed with the use of a moisturizer. This peeling is essentially unnoticeable by others. Vitalize Peel® is a rejuvenation procedure with no downtime.
How many Vitalize Peels will it take to get a great result?
The number of treatments needed depends upon the problem being addressed but usually ranges from three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Results are generally seen after just one treatment, but a series of treatments is required for optimum results. Depending on the concern being addressed, your provider may recommend other treatments in conjunction with your Vitalize Peel®, such as Laser Genesis, which may be alternated with your peel if needed.
How long will my Vitalize Peel results last?
The changes that occur in the epidermis following a chemical peel last for years, and may even be permanent. In order to maintain your results, it is critical to avoid sun damage. In the case of acne scarring, it is necessary to control further acne breakouts in order to avoid further skin disruption. Hormonal changes, sun damage and further acne breakouts may cause new pigment changes or scarring that may require repeat treatments with Vitalize Peel® alone or in combination with other treatments.
How long does the Vitalize Peel take?
Vitalize Peel® of the face is generally performed in less than twenty minutes.
The Vitalize Peel is a new safe and effective chemical peel
using a unique blend of Retinoic Acid and Alpha Hydroxy Acids with Resorcinol.
The Vitalize Peel has been clinically proven to effectively improve your skin's
texture and tone, as well as reduce age spots, melasma, acne and fine lines. The
unique formulation and blend of ingredients makes the Vitalize Peel gentle
enough to be suitable for all skin types.
In general, more than one Vitalize Peel will be needed to see optimal results,
although dramatic results can be seen in some patients following just one
treatment. The Vitalize Peel can be administered every three weeks until the
desired results are achieved.
The Vitalize Peel takes about 10 minutes to administer, and there is no
downtime. Many patients receive this treatment during their lunch hour, can
apply cosmetics following the procedure and immediately return to their normal
daily activities.
