THE SKIN REJUVENATION PEEL

Safe for all skintypes, the Vitalize Peel® is a clinically proven, effective and gentle formulation that smoothes and corrects age spots, fine lines and wrinkles as well as acne.  After just one peel you will notice improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening of fine lines and a healthier more youthful appearance.  Dramatic results can be achieved with a series of peels.

Vitalize Peel
For best results, it is advisable to avoid sun exposure and the following products and procedures at least one week prior to your treatment:

  • Electrolysis
  • Waxing
  • Depilatory creams
  • Laser hair removal.

Use of the following products should be avoided 2—3 days prior to your Vitalize Peel®:

  • Any exfoliating products
  • Any products that may be drying or irritating, including products containing salicylic acid, AHAs (including glycolic acids) and products containing Vitamin A or retinol. Shaving of the area to be peeled should be avoided on the day the treatment.

HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE?
From start to finish, the entire procedure should take approximately 20 minutes.

WHEN CAN I SCHEDULE MY NEXT PEEL?
The Vitalize Peel® is gentle enough to use every three weeks for maximum benefits and a glowing, healthy start to your skin care regimen. Ask your medical skin care professional when to schedule your next Vitalize Peel®.

IS THIS TYPE OF PROCEDURE SAFE?
When performed by an experienced and qualified physician or esthetician under a physician’s supervision, the Vitalize Peel® is a safe procedure. Be sure to talk with your medical skin care professional prior to your peel and always disclose your full medical history. Always follow your medical professionals advice for before and after procedures.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Possible side effects may include mild redness, drying and/or flaking of the skin, itching, swelling, burning, blistering, skin discoloration and possible crusting of the skin.  If swelling, burning, blistering, discoloration, or crusting occurs, contact your medical professional’s office for assistance.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY PEEL?
You may be more sensitive to sun exposure.  Take precautions by using Vivier Daily Moisturizing Shield SPF 30. We recommend limiting sun exposure for at least one week after your peel.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 2 to 3 days; perspiration may irritate the skin.
  • When washing your face do not scrub. Use a gentle cleanser such as Vivier Foaming Cleanser.
  • Avoid “helping” the skin to peel.  You can control the peeling with Vivier LEXXEL™ IDS™ Redness Relief Moisturizing Cream.
  • Do not have any other facial treatment for at least one week after your peel.  You may resume the regular use of retinols, AHA products, Vitamin C or bleaching creams only after the peeling process is complete.

POST-PEEL INSTRUCTIONS
This procedure utilizes ingredients that may increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. The use of a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and limited sun exposure is recommended while using this product and for at least a week afterwards.

The skin may look and feel like a mild windburn for the next two or three days prior to peeling. After 48 hours a slight flaking may occur which can easily be controlled with a moisturizer such asVivier LEXXEL™ IDS™ Redness Relief Moisturizing Cream.  For a home care program, follow Vivier’s Redness Relief Program.  Many ingredients in foundations are greasy, fragranced and can be irritating; therefore, foundations should not be worn after the Vitalize Peels or during the days when the skin is actually peeling. Avoid the sun, scrubs, AHAs, glycolic acid, Vitamin C or retinal creams. Let the skin shed at its own rate to avoid scarring or rashes; avoid pulling or peeling shedding skin. After one week, the skin should look clearer and smoother and the use of normal skin care products can resume.
