The Best Kept Anti-aging Secret

The Best Kept Anti-Aging Secret

An Affordable way to keep your skin looking happy and healthy

Before and after VIPeel (7 Days)
If you aren't already educated in dermal peels, start reading. Peels have been around for decades and are a great way for anyone looking to help repair damaged skin or maintain their healthy glow. Peels have previously been the cornerstone of many anti-aging regimens, but have fallen out of favor for newer and "more interesting sounding" procedures like laser resurfacing (fraxel).

Are lasers better? In one word, yes. What patients fail to understand is that lasers are much more dependent on multiple factors and that having two or three peels can mirror laser results. A lot of times, laser treatments are "under-done" for fear of hurting the patient. In my eyes (which are wrinkle free), I think it is important to get the best bang for your buck! Laser treatments range in the $1,000 range while peels typically are around $200-400.  Each have their list of side-effects. A good peel does tend to take longer to heal, but that is usually because the peel is better than laser!

I am definitely not saying that patients do not need laser! I believe in an approach with multiple different angles to get the best natural results at the lowest price.

Peels can help with:
  • Sun Damage
  • Acne Scars
  • Fine Lines
  • Dark Spots
  • Texture
  • Complexion

Typically a "mix and match" approach with peels, micro-needling, cosmetic skin care regimens tend to work best, but peels are a great way to give your skin that jump-start it needs. Don't forget, you need about five days to recover (three of them you will want to stay indoors).
