The Different Types of Peels Explained

When it comes to revitalizing the skin, chemical peels are the most common cosmetic treatments in the world of dermatology. Chemical peels are a highly customizable way to treat a series of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation , acne scars, age spots, discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, and even rosacea. Chemical peels are designed to chemically exfoliate the skin and eliminate dead skin cells from the top layer, which stimulates healthier, younger-looking skin growth. Our skin experts at Imagos Plastic Surgery use three different types of peels on clients looking to revitalize their skin: VI Peel, DermaPeel, and JetPeel.

VI Peel

This peel was originally created and released by the Vitality Institute, and it is a medical-grade treatment that softens or completely removes a variety of skin blemishes. The peel itself contains a unique blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoid acid, salicylic acid, phenol, vitamin C, and other key minerals for skin vitality. The combination of ingredients gently removes the outer layer of skin and reveals the healthy skin underneath. VI Peels also trigger a process known as cellular turnover, which allows your skin to continue to improve over time.

DermaPeel

A DermaPeel is a medical-grade chemical peel that utilizes different peptides and antioxidants that gently remove dead cells and damaged skin while also triggering your body’s natural healing factors from the inside out. When you are younger, your body might be able to produce an abundance of proteins that are necessary for protecting your skin. As the production of these proteins slows down , your skin will become susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

As DermaPeel resurfaces the skin, your body responds by sending healthy new cells and a fresh supply of collagen and elastin to the surface. You are going to notice a glowing complexion from all those proteins and results that last a long time after your treatment.

JetPeel

Jet Peel is an award-winning technology that allows you to refresh and improve the look of your skin with minimal downtime. When used on the face, the benefits of JetPeel include improved skin discoloration, reduced fine lines and wrinkles and enhanced skin texture and tone. JetPeel uses a unique blend of compressed gases (air, medical O2, or CO2) with customized infusions to treat your skin.

JetPeel is a non-invasive procedure that works on all skin types and gives you natural-looking results without any downtime.
