PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
Vitalize Peel® from SkinMedica brings the benefits of alpha-hydroxy and other peeling agents in a unique blend to provide a strong, but gentle treatment that is appropriate for all skin types. Vitalize Peel® has been clinically proven to help reduce the visible signs of aging.
Anyone who wants their skin to look better and help fight the effects of time should consider Vitalize Peel®. Those who have sun damaged, aging, blemish-prone, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, melasma or general poor skin quality will benefit most.
| Preparation |
 |
Avoid sun exposure, electrolysis, waxing, and depilatory creams 1 week prior to treatment. Discontinue Retin-A, Differin, alpha/beta hydroxyl acids and benzyl peroxide 2-3 days prior to treatment and 1 week after treatment. All makeup and lotions need to be removed prior to treatment. Men should avoid shaving the day of the treatment.
| Procedure |
|
From start to finish, the procedure usually takes approximately 20
minutes. In this treatment, a chemical solution is gently applied to
the skin, which causes it to peel. The new,
regenerated skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old
skin.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed with an agent that removes excess
oils and the eyes and hair are protected. The active agent is then
applied to small areas on the skin, enabling new, regenerated skin
to appear.
During the procedure, most patients experience a warm to somewhat hot
sensation that lasts about five to ten minutes.
| Recovery |
|
The skin may look and feel like a mild windburn for the next 2-3 days prior to skin peeling. After 48 hours flaking may occur. Limit sun exposure during treatment and for at least one week afterward. Use SPF 30. Avoid wearing foundation during the days the skin is actually peeling.
| Results |
|
After Vitalize Peel® you will notice an improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening of fine lines, a healthier, more youthful appearance. A series of 3-6 Vitalize Peels at 3 week intervals is recommended for dramatic results. To receive the optimum result, we will customize a skin care product regimen for you to enhance and maintain your skin.
