Is there any discomfort associated with the V.I. Peel chemical facial peel?

During a V.I. chemical facial peel, most people feel a mild to moderate stinging sensation while the chemical peel solution is applied and for as long as it remains on the face.  During the treatment, however, we routinely use a hand held fan to quickly cool the skin and diminish any discomfort.

For individuals who have difficulty dealing with discomfort, a mild oral sedative may be recommended. If a mild sedative is used, a friend or family member should be available to drive home after the appointment.

Can the V.I. Peel be performed on other areas of the body?
Yes.  The V.I. chemical peel formula for the body is a stronger variation of the V.I. Peel and is specifically designed to treat:

• Décolletage
• Chest
• Back
• Hands
• Arms

The V.I. Peel chemical peel is especially effective in removing sunspots from the hands and chest and eliminating the wrinkles associated with sun damage on the décolletage.
