Vitalize Peel is a treatment that has received FDA approval for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, and to diminish scars and acne. The treatment may be applied to patients of any age, however, adults make up the majority of patients that get this treatment, due to its wrinkle reducing effects. Adolescents may get the Vitalize Peel treatment to diminish the appearance of acne.
The Use of Vitalize Peel for Adolescents
Vitalize Peel may be used in adolescents with no contraindications. Even if adolescents don’t have wrinkles or fine lines, they may have acne. Acne is due to the intensive hormonal activity and often occurs on the face, back or arms. The Vitalize Peel treatment can be used to correct the appearance of acne in adolescents.
6 sessions of Vitalize Peel can visibly diminish the acne and improve the skin’s texture, making it softer. Patients under the age of 12 should avoid getting a Vitalize Peel.
An adolescent with severe acne should consult a cosmetic surgeon to see if Vitalize Peel is recommended and get advice on the possible alternatives and the available treatments. It is also a good idea to run some tests, as the acne may also indicate a hormonal imbalance that can be treated with medication.
