Q.
How is the Vi Peel different from other peels?
A. Obsolete peels of the past, without exception, epitomize
the “no pain, no gain” approach to skin
care. Before Vi Peel, the deeper the peel, the more
painful, the more downtime, the better the results.
Vi Peel is the first Next Generation Aesthetic. It
is painless, yet produces dramatic visible results
in just days with little downtime.

Q.
How many treatments are required to show an improved
look?
A. A single Vi Peel will achieve significant repair
and add a healthy glow to the skin. It is a true, restorative
and painless repair of damaged skin including sun damage
and acne. Best of all, it is a true aging preventive
for younger skin with no visible damage.

Q.
Will results be long lasting?
A. Like everything else in life, skin needs maintenance.
The Vi Peel’s results will last as long as skin
care is maintained, sun exposure is moderate and preventive
aging with the Vi Peel is performed three or four times
per year. In between treatments, use the Vi Derm™ Skin
Care System for optimal results.

Q.
What types of skin respond well to the Vi Peel?
A. The many innovations that created the Vi Peel combine
to enable the entire continuum of skin types to enjoy
the benefits of the peel. For the first time, Afro-American
and darker skin types such as some Asian and Latin
skins can experience anti-ageing and restorative skin
care previously unavailable.

Q.
How much preconditioning of the skin is required?
A. The Vi Peel requires no preconditioning of the skin
associated with older generation peels that can take
three to five months.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Does it burn?
A. Not really. You will feel a slight stinging sensation
for a few seconds which subsides completely almost
immediately. The peel is applied topically, numbing
of the skin takes place after the first pass. Some
patients may feel more comfortable using a fan or cold
air breeze.
[ back to top ]
Q.
How badly will I peel?
A. The skin peeling associated with the Vi Peel is
a light, fluffy peel that will start on day three and
generally be finished by the end of day four. The peeling
is easily hidden by moisturizer. In some cases, the
peel is virtually invisible.
[ back to top ]
Q.
What will I look like right after the Vi Peel and
during the next few days?
A. The skin will look slightly tan to red immediately
after the peel. On days one and two the skin will feel
slightly tighter with no visible signs of having a
peel except for looking slightly tan. Any pigmented
areas might appear slightly darker, which is a good
sign. On about day three, you will begin to peel. The
first signs of peeling usually begin around the mouth
area, continuing for a day or two. With the use of
the Vi Derm™ moisturizer, you may go about your
usual daily routine. By day six or day seven you will
be done peeling and the results are dramatic!

Q.
What about normal activities after the Vi Peel?
A. There are no restrictions. Normal activities can
be resumed immediately after the peel.

Q.
What will the Vi Peel do for my skin?
A. It uses the synergy of all available and known modes
of action of various acids to produce a multitude of
positive effects. It tackles skin problems at the cellular
level rather than just burning skin off. Thanks to
the concerted actions of its many acids and vitamins,
it will help erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink
enlarged pores and build collagen and elastin which
tighten skin. It is extremely effective in practically
eliminating hyper pigmentation including melasma, the
most difficult pigmentation issue to address. The Vi
Peel also provides excellent results for with acne.

Q.
How many peels are needed?
A. The peel may be repeated as often as every two weeks,
if necessary, for damaged skin. Our recommendation
for average skin would be once every three months to
prevent damage and the underlying aging of the skin.
Your doctor or skin care professional will evaluate
your skin, as well as your goals and expectations and
make an appropriate recommendation for ongoing skin
care.

Q.
Can I wear makeup after the Vi Peel?
A. While the long term goal is to eliminate the need
to use any makeup, it may be worn at any time after
the peel solution has dried. Makeup should not be applied
on the days that the skin is peeling, just moisturizer.
Makeup can then be resumed at any time after the skin
peels.

Q.
What about the hands or chest?
A. The Vi Peel is incredibly effective in removing
sunspots from the hands and chest and eliminating the
wrinkles associated with sun damage on the décolletage.

Q.
How long will the Vi Peel take?
A. Your appointment will take only about 20 minutes.
[ back to top ]
Q.
What kind of final results will I see after a single
Vi Peel?
A. It takes about four days after you finish peeling
for the skin to return to its normal PH and to see
the final effects. The skin will look luminous and
glowing. Hyper-pigmentation will be improved or gone,
depending on the amount of damage. Tone and texture
will be improved with an overall more youthful appearance.
[ back to top ]
Q.
What should be used on the skin in conjunction with
the Vi Peel?
A. The Vi Derm™ Skin Care System should be used
on a daily basis to maintain the results of the Vi
Peel.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Does the Vi Peel make the skin thinner?
A. No. By sloughing off the old skin, forcing the body
to recreate new skin at a faster rate in a sequence
faster than its own rate, the skin actually thickens,
stimulating the underlying structure to make more collagen
and elastin.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Will my skin be more sensitive after the Vi Peel?
A. The skin will only be more sensitive, if at all,
during the peeling process itself. You may experience
up to four days of sensitivity until PH of the skin
is replenished.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Will the Vi Peel tighten neck skin?
A. The skin on the neck responds well. The Vi Peel
has proven to help improve texture and quality with
gradual softening of the lines and some tightening
effects.
[ back to top ]
Q.
What other areas can the Vi Peel be performed on?
A. Face, neck, hands and chest all respond well to
a Vi Peel.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Can I go in the sun after the Vi Peel?
A. Sun exposure should be limited and adequate protection
with our SPF 30 with CLA should be used. However, the
Vi Peel was created to be practical. The only days
where exposure to the sun should be seriously avoided
are days three and four, when the skin is peeling,
to avoid uneven exposure. After that, you can enjoy
moderate sun exposure, continuing regular “dentilized” skin
care maintenance.
[ back to top ]
Q.
What about exercise after the Vi Peel?
A. Again, the Vi Peel was created to be practical.
We only ask that the solution be left on the skin for
five hours prior to exercising, washing it off immediately
before commencing exercise.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Can cold sore sufferers have a Vi Peel?
A. Of course. In some cases, the physician may recommend
pre-medication prior to the peel. If you break out
with a sudden cold sore the day of the peel, often
the Vi Peel will eliminate the sore and medication
may be started concomitantly.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Are teenage acne sufferers too young for the Vi Peel
and would it help their acne?
A. Dr. Kalil originally formulated the Vi Peel for
his 15 year old daughter, an acne sufferer. The peel
is excellent for both adult and adolescent acne. We
have effectively peeled acne patients as young as twelve
years old. Results are quick and very impressive. Combined
with a daily skin regimen, almost all acne cases can
be readily and safely managed.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Does the Vi Peel help with precancerous cells?
A. Yes, the Vi Peel, like many other peels, helps to
remove precancerous cells. Of course, those with a
history of skin cancer should always see their dermatologist
or surgeon on a regular basis.
[ back to top ]
Q.
Who will perform the Vi Peel?
A. Doctors can perform the Vi Peel, as well as a licensed
nurse or certified aesthetician.
