Why VI Peels Are So Important

Understanding Cellular Turnover

Turnover

CELLULAR TURNOVER

AFTER THE AGE OF 20

A slowdown in cellular turnover is one of the main reasons why individuals loose 1% of the collagen in their skin after the age of 20. 

In young, healthy individuals, it takes approximately 21-days for cells formed at the bottom of the epidermis to migrate to the skin's surface.   This rapid rate of cellular turnover promotes an increase in the production of collagen, elastin and fibroblasts.  Producing the smooth, plump, supple skin that is evident in youth.

With each passing year, the rate of cellular turnover slows down.  The first effect is a loss of collagen which causes skin to loose its plump, suppleness in small degrees that become more pronounced over time. 

Secondly, dead skin cells adhere to the surface of the skin for longer periods of time.  This leads to clogged, congested, dry, and dehydrated skin that slowly loses it's youthful luster.

VI Peels stimulate cellular turnover and help to increase the production of collagen.   Following a peel your skin will look younger, and more radiant.

Regeneration

CELLULAR REGENERATION

AFTER THE AGE OF 20 AND WHEN THERE IS TRAUMA

In conjunction with collagen loss, there is a gradual and steady impact on the way cells regenerate.  In youth, each replication perfectly models the preceding cell.  With the passage of time, the replication of cells is slightly less perfect.  This is why, lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin are evident in mature individuals even though new skin cells eventually make their way to the surface.

Trauma also impacts cellular regeneration.  Scars, pigmentation changes, discolorations, and stretch marks are examples of skin traumas that lie in the deeper layers of the epidermis.

Stress and environmental factors such as pollution, cigarette smoking, and sun exposure also have a pronounced effect on the way cells regenerate.

VI Peels not only increase cellular turnover, they also help reproduce healthier skin cells.  While a series of treatments is usually recommended to achieve the desired results, stunning transformations are possible.  

Application of The VI Peel

How It Works

Your treatment at Spark Laser Center and Medical Spa begins with a thorough and relaxing cleansing of your skin. 

Once your skin is cleansed a special  solution is used to wipe away surface impurities and prepare your skin for the VI Peel.   The peel is applied and dried in layers.  Depending upon your skin type and the area treated, five to seven layers may be applied.   A fan is used to keep the skin cool during the treatment, making the experience quite comfortable.

Once the treatment is completed your personal, talented Sprak Aesthetician will provide you with a complimentary post-peel product kit  and detailed home care instructions. 

You can expect your skin to start peeling on the third day following your procedure.  It will continue to peel for four days.   During this time you should avoid direct sun-exposure and use the SPF provided in your post-peel kit.



Is There Downtime?  Not Really!!

The photo displayed above depicts one of Spark's clients during the early stages of the peeling process. The peeling looks quite conspicuous because this individual has yet to apply a post-treatment moisturizer.

If you would like a NO-DOWNTIME TREATMENT, we recommend the use of Aquaphor.   This healing ointment can be applied multiple times a day to gently remove the layers of dead skin cells.   It will not interfere with the efficacy of your treatment.  It will only make the peeling process virtually invisible to friends and colleagues.
