The Vitalize Peel superficial chemical peel is one of the few superficial chemical peels approved for all skin tones and types, making it a popular treatment for those looking for the cosmetic benefits of a facial peel. When considering this chemical peel treatment, you may decide to use it for any combination of the most common uses:
More Even Skin Tone
Vitalize Peel rejuvenates your skin by slowly destroying the outer layer. The rejuvenated cells work to produce new skin closer in tone to your base skin color. This means that the chemical peel will help greatly reduce or even eliminate any hyperpigmentation you have on your skin resulting from scarring, sun exposure, melasma, hormonal changes and aging. The peel can also greatly reduce the appearance of your freckles.
Eliminates Acne and Reduces Acne Scarring
This chemical peel treatment is ideal for you if you have a pervasive acne breakout. The peel contains salicylic acid, which can unclog pores and help gently exfoliate the skin without overdrying. Once your pores are unclogged, your acne will begin to heal more quickly.
And as stated above, the Vitalize Peel treatment helps give you a more even skin tone. Acne scarring is one example of hyperpigmentation that can be addressed by this chemical peel treatment.
Reduces Acne Breakouts
After Vitalize Peel has worked to eliminate the acne you're currently experiencing, the chemical peel can then help prevent future acne breakouts. The process does so via the retinoic acid, which helps encourage less sebum production in your sebaceuous glands. (When sebum production is high, your plogs clog up, which causes acne breakouts.)
Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Another positive benefit of the treatment is stimulation of collagen production. Collagen, a natural protein group in the skin, makes skin tighter, firmer and smoother. The appearance of wrinkles over time (often aggravated by exposure to tobacco smoke, pollution and UV rays) is a result of a continuously diminished production of collagen. When you have this peel, part of your skin's rejuvenation process is a jump in the production of collagen. As your skin produces more and more collagen, it will begin to tighten and become more elastic, eventually resulting in a reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.
Reduces the Size of Pores
If you're concerned about large pores, particularly in areas such as the nose and chin, you should be able to see a reduction in the size of your pores after treatment. This is due to a tightening effect that the peel has on pores as the outer layer is removed and the cells begin to produce fresh skin.
While Vitalize Peel is approved for most people, there are a few people for whom the procedure may be discouraged, so you may not be able to have the treatment if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have taken Accutane within the past year, are allergic to salicylates or if you have skin that's overly sensitive. If you think you may not be a candidate, discuss the rest of your cosmetic treatment options with a cosmetic specialist.
