VI Peel: A powerful peel for our VIPs without the risk or downtime

Intuitive Med Spa blends science, beauty, and personalized care to transform the skin for the better in a way that supports natural results. The VI Peel is a great fit with the many other advanced, highly customizable, and noninvasive facials services available at our Flushing, New York office.

What is the VI Peel?

The Vitality Institute’s VI Peel combines the effectiveness of deeper chemical peels with the minimal downtime and risk of side effects and complications associated with more superficial peels.

What skin concerns does the VI Peel treat best?

VI Peel is an appealing alternative to more aggressive treatments for a variety of different signs of aging and sun damage. These concerns include:

  • Blotchy skin
  • Dry, rough texture
  • Wrinkles
  • Dark spots
  • Acne
  • Big pores
  • Dullness

It is also appropriate for our guests who like the look and feel of their skin and want to keep it that way! So, it is an attractive type of “prejuvenation” for those with little to no noticeable signs of aging and environmental damage. It can also be used “off face” on the neck, hands, arms, and chest.

How do I prepare for treatment?

The VI Peel stands out from traditional chemical peels in that it does not require any “preconditioning” of the skin. Prior to your peel, we will provide you with instructions for pre-treatment, which mainly involves avoiding excessive sun exposure and harsh products like exfoliants in the days leading up to the procedure.

What does it feel like?

The VI Peel contains a numbing anesthetic. So, you will not feel anything as the topical solution that powers this peel is applied. Initially, there may be a slight stinging sensation, but that goes away in a few seconds. We can complete your treatment in around 20 minutes.

What can I expect after treatment?

Fundamentally, peels work by removing dead and damaged skin cells. As the damaged skin is removed, fresh and healthy cells are encouraged. This process gives way to refreshed, glowing, and healthy skin. While powerful, our guests often describe the VI Peel as a light and fluffy peel. Noticeable peeling can be relieved with moisturizer and typically subsides in three to seven days. You may also notice improvements in the look and feel of your skin in around a week, with full results visible after two weeks.

How should I care for myself afterward?

There are no “trade-offs” with the VI Peel. You can typically resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment, as there is no downtime involved. However, we recommend avoiding heavy sweating and direct sun exposure right after the procedure. Our team may also suggest using sunscreen and specific products designed to enhance the results of the VI Peel treatment. Taking proper care of your skin and body can help ensure that the results last for several months.

VI Peel is suitable for many different skin types and tones that may have been precluded from some peel treatments in the past due to the risk of discoloration and damage to the skin. The concentration of the peel's ingredients can also be customized to treat even the most stubborn concerns without the risk of traditional deeper peels. But we will not know if it's right for you until after your skin is evaluated at our office in Flushing, NY. Call the Intuitive Med Spa team at (929) 298-3337 to request your consultation today.
