VI Peel Body
Finally, a peel designed for the body. Traditional facial chemical peels penetrate to the epidermis (the top layer of the skin), but experts know that true corrective change can only come when the peel penetrates deeper. Unfortunately, peeling the body presents 3 complications:
- Skin on the body is 2-3 times thicker than the skin on the face. This means repurposing a traditional facial peel that only penetrates the epidermis will have even less penetration on the body.
- The goal of any chemical peel is to drive cell turnover and create peeling. But unlike the face which has a natural skin cell turnover cycle of 28 days, the skin cells on the body turn over closer to once every 70 days. For a chemical peel to create true peeling on the body, it must accelerate peeling almost 3 times faster.
- The chemical peel must be able to work safely on all Fitzpatrick skin types and tones.
The solution? VI Peel Body. Non-invasive, and pain-free. VI Peel Body treatments stimulate anti-aging collagen and increase cellular turnover. This helps address troubled areas and reveals smoother and more radiant skin.
So, what exactly is VI Peel Body?
VI Peel Body is a professional-grade body peel for all skin types and tones. It is more powerful to tackle the thicker epidermis and is formulated with protective ingredients to nurture the skin in the post-peel healing phase. It can penetrate deeper to peel off dead skin cells and target body skin concerns.
This chemical peel helps address troubled areas, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion in just a single treatment. You can turn to VI Peel Body to:
- Reduce pigmentation in the body (like elbows and knees)
- Clear body acne and prevent future flare-ups
- Fade surgical scars
- Smooth away stretch marks
How does VI Peel Body work?
It contains a synergistic blend of ingredients that can accelerate cellular turnover and stimulate collagen production. It works in four unique ways:
- Exfoliates dead surface cells immediately.
- Hydrates and lightens pigmentation as it firms.
- Penetrates deeper to target pigment, acne, wrinkles, and skin texture.
- Suppresses pigment and reduces sebum production.
