Multiple types of chemicals can be used to remove the epidermal layer of skin superficially. The type of chemical used will depend on your skin type. These treatments can improve fine lines, pores, sun-damaged skin, and is also helpful for improving some types of acne lesions and acne scars.

• The Vi Peel contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients suitable for all skin types, for dramatic results with virtually no pain, no skin preparation, and little downtime.
The Vi Peel will:

· Improve the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin
· Reduce or eliminate age spots, freckles, and hyper-pigmentation, including melasma

· Stimulate the production of collagen, for firmer, more youthful skin

Two to four treatments, four weeks apart, are recommended for optimal results.

•  Jessner’s Peel is a superior treatment designed to remove superficial layers of skin. It’s one of the most effective light cosmetic peels available. A Jessner’s peel consists of a mild peeling agent that can be used to lighten areas of hyper-pigmentation and to treat aged sun-damaged skin. The Jessner’s peel is excellent for all skin types. It smooths and rejuvenates the skin, producing beautiful results in treating mild to severe acne, discoloration, moderate wrinkling, and sun damage. This peel is very beneficial for patients with acne, oily, or thicker skin, because it tends to decrease oil production and open clogged sebaceous follicles. It also contributes to the healing process of acne.

The Jessner’s peel combines resorcinol, lactic acid, and salicylic acid to result in deeper penetration and greater exfoliation of the outer layers of skin cells. This deeper exfoliation produces noticeable flaking and peeling in the following three to four days after the peel, revealing smoother, healthier skin within a week.

• Salicylic acid is a synthetically made beta-hydroxy acid.   Salicylic peels are used to treat fine wrinkles, minor skin discoloration, and sun damage,  but its primary use is to treat acne. Salicylic acid is a common ingredient in over-the-counter acne treatments.  A salicylic acid peel is an alternative to glycolic peels, which are more common. These peels generally produce mild to moderate skin peeling for 2-4 days.
• Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, that is naturally derived. It is commonly used to fade sunspots, acne scars, blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles. Glycolic acid can penetrate deep beneath the surface of the skin. It stimulates cell regeneration in the skin by increasing the production of collagen. Glycolic acid’s fast-acting results can be witnessed through the rapid shedding of the skin’s exterior to reveal fresh new glowy skin underneath. There are different levels of strengths to glycolic acid peels; solutions range from 35% to 70% concentrations. These peels generally produce mild to moderate skin peeling for 2-4 days.
