White Coat Aesthetics uses VI Peel® chemical peels to painlessly improve the appearance of your skin.
Before heading in for a chemical peel, you need to prepare yourself and your skin by:
In addition, for a whole week before your peel, make sure that you neither wax nor use depilatory hair removal products.
To begin your chemical peel, Amanda cleans your face and may protect your body with goggles, gauze, tape, or ointment. She also pulls your hair back and covers it.
Once you’re ready, she applies the peel with gauze, a sponge, cotton balls, or a brush. After a few minutes, she applies a neutralizing solution to stop the work of the peel.
Immediately after the peel, your skin will be red, mildly irritated, and dry, but it won’t be raw or deeply painful. As you receive more peels, your skin adjusts and reacts less negatively.
When you go home, you should avoid sun exposure for the first few days since your skin will be more sensitive than usual. Your skin will start to peel about three days after your procedure, and will fully heal by the eighth day.
The VI Peel® offers tasteful, subtle results. To achieve a more dramatic change, you may have to schedule multiple peels.
