It is one of the most simple and least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin for pores, texture, tone, pigment, sun damage, fine lines, acne, and more. You’ll be left with a beautiful bright complexion and smooth youthful looking skin.

RevePeel®

Are you looking for a treatment that can take care of ALL your acne, discoloration, uneven skin tone, large pores, and fine lines? Revepeel might be just what you need! RevePeel uses an oil‑based delivery system, which is applied to the top layer of skin. Over the course of seven days, the oil works to exfoliate the skin and bring newly refreshed skin up to the surface.

Two RevePeel sessions are recommended about four weeks apart, along with strict adherence to homecare protocols, for best results. 

  • Treats: Acne, PIH, age, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and more
  • Results: Clears up acne and acne scarring, even aging, creating a clear, radiant complexion
  • Downtime: No pain or downtime!
  • Benefits: Safe for all skin types. Start to see results within 4 weeks! 

Biorevitalization Peel

BioRevitalization is your answer to getting a radiant and rejuvenated complexion without the hassle of a traditional peel. Rather than being a peel, The BioRevitalization “Peel” is actually a collagen biostimulant that renews the skin like a peel but without the downtime and trauma of a traditional peel. It gives you all the results of a deeper peel without the side effects, making it an amazing and convenient option for those of us who don’t have the extra time to peel.

The Biorevitalization Peel is best done in a series of four treatments, every seven to ten days. 

  • Treats: fine lines, stretch marks, dull, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, rough skin texture, loss of skin laxity, sluggish cellular turnover, and more
  • Results: A radiant, rejuvenated complexion, tighter skin on face and body, bright, even skin tone, smooth skin texture, and smaller pores
  • Downtime: No pain or downtime!
  • Benefits: Safe for all skin types. See results immediately and within weeks of the treatment.

Enlighten® Peel

Enlighten Peel

The Enlighten Peel is a professional-grade brightening treatment that targets melasma, PIH, and uneven skin tone with minimal downtime. Unlike deeper peels that may irritate, Enlighten uses a gentle, pigment-blocking formula that can be repeated in short intervals. It works well on all skin types and is especially useful for skin of color and hormonally-triggered pigmentation.

Using patented technology, The Enlighten Peel stops your skin cells from creating additional pigmentation while exfoliating the skin’s surface to minimize the appearance of existing hyperpigmentation. All of this in just 30 minutes!

Two treatments spaced about a month apart can help you see the light! 

  • Treats: Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, Melasma, acne scarring, dull skin and more
  • Results: The faded appearance of pigmentation for a more smooth and radiant complexion
  • Downtime: No pain or downtime!
  • Benefits: Safe for all skin types. See results within one to two weeks.

Modern Medical Peels 

Want to stop aging in its tracks? Well formulated dermatological peels could be just what you need! Peels like Pyruvic Acid, Mandelic acid, and even the tried and true Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid Peels, can do wonders for your skin. 

These peels exfoliate aging skin, decrease redness (Mandelic), decrease fine lines (Glycolic), acne (Salicylic), and hyperpigmentation while increasing elasticity (Pyruvic). Being more gentle than the deeper peels we mentioned, best results come from a series of treatments.

  • Treats: Hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne
  • Results: Radiant smooth skin with less visible lines and wrinkles
  • Downtime: No pain and just a few days of flaking
  • Benefits: Safe for almost all skin types. See results within one month

Vi Peel

The Vi Peel is the first medical peel that combines major acids in a pain‑free formulation. They’re a safe, effective approach to achieving younger looking skin and safe for all skin types, including darker skin types which can experience anti‑aging and restorative skincare that was previously unavailable! One to three peels may be recommended, and expect to leave the clinic with an orange cast on your face. Peeling starts on day three after treatment, and lasts 3‑4 days. 

  • Treats: Sun damage, hyperpigmentation, Melasma, acne & acne scarring, aging
  • Results: Younger looking glowing skin with fewer imperferfections
  • Downtime: No downtime and no pain during treatment
  • Benefits: Safe for all skin types! See results in one to two weeks.

What Is a VI Peel vs Chemical Peel?

A VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that blends multiple acids to target aging, pigmentation, and acne, while most chemical peels use single active ingredients. The VI Peel combines TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and vitamin C for a synergistic effect. Traditional peels, like glycolic or salicylic acid alone, focus on exfoliation or oil control. The VI Peel offers deeper rejuvenation in fewer sessions, often with less irritation and downtime compared to single-acid peels.

Perfect Peel vs VI Peel

The Perfect Peel and VI Peel both treat sun damage, acne, and pigmentation, but the Perfect Peel includes glutathione, a powerful antioxidant not found in the VI Peel. The VI Peel is known for its accessibility to all skin tones, while the Perfect Peel offers a more comprehensive anti-aging boost. Both require minimal downtime and typically produce results within 1-2 weeks.

VI Peel vs TCA Peel

The VI Peel contains TCA (trichloroacetic acid) as one of its active ingredients, but also blends it with other acids for a broader range of benefits. In contrast, a pure TCA peel delivers deeper exfoliation and is more suited for significant photo-aging or scarring but may require longer recovery. The VI Peel is more user-friendly, often causing less irritation and faster visible results.

Jessner Peel vs VI Peel

The Jessner Peel is a traditional blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol used for acne and hyperpigmentation, while the VI Peel modernizes this blend with added retinoic acid and vitamin C. Both peels exfoliate the upper layers of skin, but the VI Peel provides added anti-aging benefits with less discomfort.

Perfect Derma Peel vs VI Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel includes a high dose of glutathione for enhanced antioxidant protection, while the VI Peel offers a multi-acid blend ideal for mild-to-moderate aging and pigmentation. The choice depends on your specific concerns: go with the Perfect Derma Peel for oxidative stress and melasma, and the VI Peel for general skin rejuvenation across all tones.
