Improve skin tone and its natural glow
Improve skin texture and smoothness

How is a Vitalize Peel® different from a Lactic Peel or Microdermabrasion?

A Vitalize Peel® is much more aggressive.
It produces results faster but produces more redness and significantly more peeling between treatments.
If you want quicker results, this is the peel for you.
If you want a very gentle treatment with no down times, minimal discomfort and you do not want to have heavy exfoliation and peeling for 4 days after the treatment, Microdermabrasion or lactic treatments are a better choice.

How is a Vitalize Peel® done?

Makeup and oils are removed with an alcohol solution in the office.
Prior to your peel, the technician will offer you an optional enzyme mask to increase the benefits of your treatment.
Masks of this type help the subsequent treatment loosen and remove dead, devitalized skin cells.
The solution is applied. Multiple applications can be used during the same treatment to help stubborn areas.
The peel agent tingles or stings while it remains on the skin. It is almost never painful.
An optional calming mask may be applied immediately afterward.
Masks are calming, soothing and provided added hydration.
A layer of sunscreen is then applied.
Heavy exfoliation and peeling is normally seen two to three days later.

What are the possible side effects?

There is tingling or stinging when the medication is applied.
The skin may be pink for up to 24 hours after the treatment, this is normal.
Rarely a patient may develop blisters, crusting, and scabbing or increased skin sensitivity. In very rare cases a person may develop increased or decreased pigmentation or scarring.

Electrolysis, waxing, depilatories, masks, peels or dermabrasion.
