Book your appointment now and get started on recapturing a younger and smoother appearance.
Neurotoxin blocks cholinergic transmission at the neuromuscular junction by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine (ACH) from peripheral nerve endings. It binds to cholinergic nerve terminals through translocation of the light chain part of the molecule into cytosol at the nerve terminal, and enzymatic cleaves to the SNAP25 protein needed for the release of ACH and muscle contraction (appearance of wrinkles).
Neurotoxin stays in the area where injected with a small diffusion across the muscle that relaxes the muscle that through contraction forms wrinkles in various facial areas. It has the potential to migrate from the area so proper placement is needed and a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy to fully understand and utilize the product effectively. The results with neurotoxon are evident in 5-10 days after the injection and will continue to effectively treat the area for up to 14 weeks.
Neurotoxin is a treatment is a fast procedure and, depending on the number of areas being treated can be done in as little as fifteen minutes. In as little as a lunch break, The Med Spot can get you started on looking smooth and wrinkle free!

Lips are one of the hottest topics in aesthetics right now. Lip treatments can be used to enhance your natural shape, correct asymmetries and add desired fullness to your lips.
The modern approach to lip enhancement began in 2003 with the FDA approval of Restylane, the first hyaluronic acid filler, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body. Today, most dermal filler procedures are performed with products that use synthesized versions of hyaluronic acid and advanced for specific uses, such as Restylane, Juvéderm, and Versa Lips which are designed specifically for use in and around the lips. Fillers might be a good option if you would like:
Lip fillers are a popular option. We also offer a lip flip* by injecting neurotoxin into the lip line.
When you first leave the treatment room you’ll experience some minor swelling and will continue to see changes day to day but it will take a few weeks to see your full results. In clinical studies, the results of Restylane Silk® lasted approximately 6 months following treatment.
First, selecting a practitioner you trust. Second, trusting your injector’s recommended approach. Also following a few rules including: limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding intense workouts for a few days after your appointment, and avoiding blood thinners such as aspirin, NSAIDS, fish oil, etc.
Lip fillers are FDA approved for 1 year, but clients commonly get touch ups at 6-month intervals for best results. Your injector is in the best position to advise on the frequency of maintenance injections.
The typical lip filler treatment averages $550-$800 per syringe. The actual cost will depend upon your aesthetic goals and your injector’s recommendation.
Yes. If you decide you want to return to your natural lips, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can also be removed using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the filler.
All of our non-surgical cosmetic procedures are ONLY treated by medical professionals, including Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses.
A lip flip* involves just a few quick injections of neurotoxin to help the upper lip relax and roll slightly upward, allowing more of the upper lip to be visible. It is not a replacement for lip filler but it is often used as an alternative for patients seeking a more subtle enhancement. Ask your nurse injector if you are a candidate for this service.
Achieve subtle pout-magnification by flipping out the lip line and rolling the lip gently outward to give the appearance of a fuller pout.
A lip flip costs about $120 per treatment.
*The actual cost will depend upon the amount of product recommended by your injector to achieve your desired outcome.
Typically reserved for special cases and clients whom had lip filler before.
Most patients notice the effects within a few days of treatment, with full results in about 7-10 days and lasting less than three months.
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) or poly-L-lactic acid-based injectables that work to fill in and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds in addition to enhancing facial contours, replacing lost volume due to aging, or creates plumper lips for a perfect desired pout. Dermal Fillers are injectable gels that aim at combating your body’s natural aging process and plumping up skin. These treatments temporarily smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections of the skin. At The Med Spot, we use advanced technology to improve the appearance of thin skin with an effective, professional treatment plan for the best dermal fillers in that will revamp your skin for a longer period of time.
As time passes, natural aging causes us to lose the subcutaneous fat that helps us appear more youthful. Our facial muscles become more prominent under the skin, so signs of aging such as smile lines and crow’s feet start to appear. Other factors that cause the effects of aging on the skin include sun exposure, genetics, and your specific lifestyle.
That’s where dermal fillers come in. After a quick procedure, you’ll reverse the signs of aging to make you appear years younger! If you have any of these issues, dermal fillers in are the perfect solution for you:
Many people believe that dermal fillers are the same as Botox or Dysport. The truth is, fillers are not a neurotoxin. Botox freezes the muscles to stop them from creating fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging. On the other hand, dermal fillers are designed to fill in wrinkles. As we age, our bodies stop producing as much collagen and elastin, causing our skin to lose its elasticity and plumpness. Usually this begins to happen as early as 25!
Fortunately, dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, which promotes collagen and elastin production. With your new smooth, filled-out skin, you’ll walk out of our office looking younger than you have in years!
Because filler injections are minimally invasive, side effects aren’t very common. A few side effects of dermal fillers we’ve seen in the past include reactions to the needle/injection sites in general, including redness, itching, pimples, and swelling. None of these should be a cause of concern and are completely normal.
Our medical professionals will thoroughly cover all of this information with you before you receive your injections. We care about your needs first, and we want to make sure that your results are exactly what you’re looking for.
Before the Procedure:
Before getting dermal fillers at The Med Spot, you’ll meet with us for a free consultation. The consultation can be done immediately prior to receiving your dermal filler if you chose. During the consultation we’ll speak with you about what your goals are and the problem areas you want to improve. A specialist will examine your skin, including the texture, thickness, elasticity, and amount of wrinkling. This will help us understand where to inject your dermal fillers.
You’ll want to let us know about your medical background, especially if you’ve had injections done within the past four months. This ensures that we are fully aware of your medical needs so that the procedure is done safely and properly. If you take blood thinners, you may want to stop taking them several days before you receive dermal fillers to reduce the amount of bruising and bleeding. It’s also best to avoid alcohol at least a week before your procedure.
Prior to the procedure one of our medical professional with discuss options for numbing the area to find a solution that works best for you. Most times our clients chose a topical numbing agent that will be left on the area for 15-30 mins. When it’s time for your dermal filler procedure, we’ll have you slightly raised on an exam table. We want to make sure you’re as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Then use a non-alcohol solution to clean the specified area.
Although the injections may feel like a quick prick. Based on the amount of injections needed, the process can take around 30 to 40 minutes. At The Med Spot, our professionals will make the procedure simple and easy, so you can rest easy knowing that we have you taken care of.
After the Procedure:
Once your procedure is done, you’re free to go and enjoy the rest of the day.
The great thing about dermal fillers is that there’s little to no recovery time. It’s important to note that you’ll want to avoid taking aspirin, such as ibuprofen, after your procedure. Doing so could cause additional bruising that may be a cause of concern.
One of the best things you can do is stay hydrated. Hyaluronic acid binds to water, so the more hydrated you are, the more youthful you’ll appear.
If you want to maintain your wrinkle-free look, don’t go more than six months - twelve months between your dermal filler procedures. After about two years on this regular schedule, most of our clients find that they need less fillers to achieve the same look!
The effects of fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the product used and the individual.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. At the Med spot we use the SkinPen device.
SkinPen® was awarded “Top Rated Treatment for Acne Scars” and “Top Skin Care Device” in the Aesthetic Everything® 2019 Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards.This microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
This innovative, non-surgical treatment popular amongst celebrities, and Hollywood's hottest beauty secret for gorgeous, glowing, smoother and firmer skin. This is a patented treatment for fast, no downtime results. When PRP is used with Micro-Needling, it penetrates your skin through the tiny channels the micro-needles create.
Microneedling is a procedure where several sterile tiny needles penetrate the skin to create tiny "micro-injuries". This prompts your body’s natural healing powers, creating new collagen and generating other new skin tissue.
• Acne Scarring
• Large Pore
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Uneven Pigmentation
• General Texture Irregularities
• Uneven Skin Tone
A series of 3-6 treatments microneedling treatments spaced 4 weeks apart will significantly improve your skin.
Since you are numbed you are as comfortable as possible. Most of our patients say they don’t feel anything, except a small vibration from the Microneedling Pen
Microinfusion is a more sophisticated drug delivery system. It uses hollow bore needles that are thinner than a human hair to target a specific layer of the skin, the dermis. Microinfusing drugs or vitamins can improve efficacy and decrease side effects. There is less downtime with micro infusion.
SkinPen® works by creating a series of hundreds of microscopic channels into the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping skin to look and feel healthier. SkinPen® needles cycle at 100+ stamps/second, potentially creating 1600+ microchannels per second during the procedure.
A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment. Generally, patients report feeling just the slight vibration of the SkinPen® during the treatment.
The procedure lasts approximately 20-30 minutes.
Before the procedure we will make sure all makeup and moisturizer is removed from the area to be treated.
After your treatment we will apply a calming serum to soothe your skin. There is no major downtime after Microneedling. We recommend waiting 4 hours before washing your face in order to allow any fluids to penetrate deeper into the skin. You will more than likely experience redness (similar to a sunburn), but will subside within a few days after your treatment. It is important to make sure to apply sunscreen to protect your skin during this time. You may experience some peeling of the skin or dryness 3-5 days after treatment. Make sure to use a good non-comedogenic moisturizer after to keep the skin hydrated. Do not use harsh soaps, alcohol based products, vitamin c, retinol/retinoids on your face for 48 hours after the procedure. Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours.
The number of procedures required will be based upon your individual procedure goals and the overall health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of three procedures spaced about four weeks apart.
You’ll see results in a day or two after your initial treatment, but optimal improvements come over time as new collagen and elastin are produced. Your team at at the med spot customizes your treatment for you, so you’ll know how many sessions you’ll need for optimal results. All patients have at least a series of 3. Within four to six weeks, dramatic improvements are visible.
Microneedling creates channels into the deeper layers of your skin which allows us to use products that target your specific concern. Adding therapies is a great opportunity to deliver therapeutic products to the areas where they can do the most good. You can use Microneedling with:
PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma, which is entirely natural because it comes from your own blood. Your provider injects your plasma, which is rich in growth factors, into the same areas where the tiny pinholes were made during the microneedling process. The regenerative properties of PRP perfectly complement the collagen induction qualities of microneedling. The result is firmer, smoother skin.
Almost every adult can benefit from the skin tightening and rejuvenating effects of microneedling and PRP. Since there are minimal risks and no downtime, you can get microneedling and PRP at any age. It works the same for all skin types and skin colors, too, giving it universal appeal. At your consultation, your provider takes a close look at your medical history and skin profile to ensure that you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
In addition to the vast improvements in your skin, microneedling has many other benefits that make it a go-to choice for facial rejuvenation:
Hair Restoration with PRP is a state of the art, non surgical, totally natural, alternative medical procedure used for the treatment of hair thinning and hair loss. This minimally invasive procedure harnesses the body’s own amazing healing and regenerative properties to stimulate hair follicles and improve hair growth. It works great for women and men.
For those looking to treat hair loss without going under the knife, our team at The Med Spot performs a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that stands above the rest: platelet rich plasma.
The biggest bonus? Platelet rich plasma (PRP) comes from your own body, so you don’t have to worry about rejecting the treatment or having an allergic reaction.
PRP is one of the most advanced, natural ways to regenerate and accelerate tissue repair. It’s produced by your own blood, which is composed of plasma and blood cells. Plasma is the liquid that circulates blood cells, and within plasma are platelets that cause the blood clots that help with wound healing. If you’ve ever noticed that yellow goo from a healing scab—that’s platelet rich plasma.
Other than fast healing, PRP has major growth factors that can enhance the functions of other cells it comes in contact with. The great thing about PRP is that it can be isolated from your blood and injected into other parts of your body, giving you tons of restoration benefits. As a result, wherever PRP works its magic, cellular growth, formation of new blood vessels, and collagen production follows.
Because of this, medical professionals use PRP across different medical fields, including dermatology, sports medicine, orthopedics, and yes, even for hair restoration.
Hair Restoration with PRP is a quick, minimally invasive in office procedure where PRP and growth factors are delivered directly into the scalp. A small amount of blood is drawn and a processed in a special centrifuge. The processing separates the platelets from the blood. Numbing cream is applied the scalp. Through a series of injections with a small needle, the nutrient rich PRP is delivered directly into the scalp to rejuvenate the tissue, make new collagen, new blood vessels, new fatty tissue. The result... hair follicles are nourished and stimulated which lead to hair growth.
Hair Restoration with PRP is very safe. Because we are using the PRP derived form your own blood there is no risk of allergic reaction.
In general, most patients see results after their second treatment or later, due to the nature of hair growth cycles. PRP Hair Restoration therapy works best as a series of treatments, usually spaced a couple of months apart. Patients usually experience some hair shedding before this, which usually indicates that the hair replacing it will be thicker and longer. Standardized photos will be taken before each PRP Hair Restoration treatment so that improvement can be tracked.
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, essentially contains platelets that are key to stimulating hair follicles to generate hair growth. They mainly target the Dermal Papilla, which is a component of the hair follicle. The platelets, when used to regenerate hair growth within follicles, promote healing and the formation of new cell growth. In addition, the platelets also accelerate the rate and degree of regeneration so that you can expect to see results in a timely manner. PRP is an ideal component of hair restoration because it is highly effective in stimulating inactive hair follicles, causing them to revert to the growth phase.
Unlike other hair restoration treatments, PRP comes from your own body, making it more natural than its alternatives. As of now, the main alternatives for PRP are medications and hair transplant surgery.
Hair Restoration with PRP is a cutting edge procedure that uses the body’s own natural healing agents, PRP and growth factors that are derived from your own blood. The platelet rich plasma contained in your blood contains growth factors which stimulate the production of collagen and tissue regeneration and importantly for the scalp those growth factors stimulate the hair follicle’s growth. The healing properties of PRP have been well studied, established and used extensively in other medical procedures for years.
In terms of the safety of this product, PRP has been the topic of medical literature from both the United States and Europe. Not only is the product heralded as a revolutionary way to stimulate and restore hair growth, but it is also one of the safest cosmetic hair growth options on the market today.
While there is a prevalent opinion of PRP and its benefits within medical literature.. it is a very promising and realistic option for those that are grappling with hair loss.
One session costs $530. The Med Spot has a current offer for sessions for $1100. Most clients see the best results with 3-4 treatments.
PRP is not covered by insurance.
There may be some sensitivity. However, most physicians utilize effective anesthetic solutions, such as cold ambient air or a topical analgesic to minimize any potential discomfort. Talk to your physicians about the right option for you.
There are only two FDA-approved medications to treat hair loss: finasteride and minoxidil. Steer clear of any other medication that claims to treat balding or thinning hair. For one, they probably won’t work, and secondly, they could do more harm than good.
With both finasteride and minoxidil, you have to take them on a regular basis, and results tend to be inconsistent. Plus, let’s talk about side effects for a moment. Side effects of minoxidil include dryness and itchy scalp, which may lead to itchiness and redness. Finasteride can cause sexual dysfunction in men.
Getting a hair transplant is an effective way to treat hair loss, but it’s also an invasive surgery. During the procedure, a doctor will cut your scalp to implant new hair, meaning you can for sure expect downtime. Plus, most doctors will only perform a hair transplant on severely balding patients. People with thinning hair or minor patches aren’t usually a good candidate.
On the other hand PRP for hair loss only comes with 0 to 5 days of downtime, and this type of hair restoration works for a variety of people, no matter the severity.
PRP works best on the beginning signs of hair loss like thinning. With treatment, PRP can stimulate new growth, leading to the appearance of thicker, more luscious hair.
The PRP process is fairly quick, easy, and comes with minimal pain. Keep in mind that before you go to an appointment, avoid taking NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, Naproxen, etc.) You’ll also want to avoid certain nutritional supplements such as vitamin E, vitamin A, flax oil, garlic, turmeric, and other anti-inflammatory substances. If you can, stay away from alcohol and tobacco for a week before getting hair restoration.
Step One: Draw blood
When you come in for your appointment, the first thing your provider will do is draw your blood. Remember, platelet-rich plasma is part of your blood. You feel a slight prick from the needle, but for most people there’s no pain.
Step Two: Isolate the PRP
Next, it’s time to isolate the PRP from your blood. This is done with a machine called a centrifuge. Blood runs through the centrifuge, effectively separating PRP from red blood cells.
Step Three: Inject the PRP
Once separated, your provider will transfer the PRP into syringes to inject it into your scalp. The amount of injections along with where you’ll get them depends on your specific needs.
As PRP replenishes your scalp with growth factors, you’ll soon notice fuller, thicker hair that is 100% your own.
If you’re bothered by moderate to severe submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” we’ve got something new just for you! Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness.

KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that is used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called, “double chin.”
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
If you’re bothered by submental fullness, or double chin, ask your doctor about KYBELLA®. How many people have been treated with KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies with more than 2,600 patients worldwide, of which over 1,600 have been treated with KYBELLA®.
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area.
Kybella cost $600 per vial normally 2 vials per session. The best results are achieved in 2-4 treatments.
You and your doctor will customize your KYBELLA® treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions.
During these sessions, your medical provider will administer KYBELLA® into the fat under your chin using multiple injections. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.
When injected into the fat under your chin, KYBELLA®causes the destruction of fat cells. Once your fat cell are destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After your desired aesthetic response is achieved, re-treatment with KYBELLA® is not expected.
Multiple small injections depending on the amount of fat you have under your chin & your desired profile.
Number of treatments vary patient to patient
Are you unsatisfied with the natural decline in your skin’s firmness? Is your facial skin beginning to sag and droop due to the natural aging process? Do you find yourself pulling the skin on your cheeks or neck back wishing it was tighter like it used to be? Overtime, our skin continues to lose hydrating properties such as collagen, which keeps our complexion looking firm and youthful. In the past, an invasive procedure such as a facelift was needed to lift and tighten skin. Thankfully, there is now a minimally invasive treatment for lifting and rejuvenating loose and sagging skin. The Revolutionary PDO Thread Lift can effectively lift and smooth skin while building collagen without the need for invasive surgery.
If you are experiencing facial volume loss or aging signs and want to achieve a natural-looking lift without the need for invasive surgery, a PDO thread lift could be the solution for you. Reach out to the professionals at The Med Spot to learn more about this revolutionary treatment. Contact us today and schedule your consultation towards a youthful complexion! Complimentary consultations available. Financing Available .
PDO Thread Lift is one of the most popular and highly effective non surgical means to lift & tighten loose, sagging skin tissues. It is performed through the use of specialized threads made up of Polydioxanone (PDO), which instantly works to tighten skin for a redefined and younger looking appearance. The most common areas to lift are the Cheek or Jowls, Neck and Brows. This is a non-surgical remedy that is changing what it means to get a “face lift.”
The threads used in this procedure are FDA-approved for the correction of aging signs in common problem areas. They work beneath the surface of skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue and skin with safety and precision in mind. This is effective at creating a source of support for loose tissue and repositions sagging skin. If you are like many of our patients struggling with facial volume loss, the revolutionary PDO thread lift could benefit you.
During treatment, specially designed PDO threads are used. These FDA approved sutures are recognized as one of the safest to be used within the body as the PDO material does not create scar tissue. During the procedure, the threads are gently inserted into precise areas beneath the skin. The skin is then tightened and re-positioned for a more youthful appearance. Once the threads are in place, your skin gently reacts to the threads on a cellular level by encouraging restoration and collagen production. The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes to perform and local anesthetic is used to make it very comfortable.
Following treatment, you may experience slight discomfort – which can be managed with over-the-counter pain reducers. You will instantly notice results from your PDO thread lift, but it will continue to improve for 2-3 months following your procedure.
The results from treatment last longer than the life of the threads. However, continued treatments may be suggested in order to maintain optimal results. With this revitalizing remedy, you can say goodbye to aged skin, and hello to a youthful and vibrant complexion.

VI Peel is a chemical peel that addresses fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and melasma, and promotes overall smoother skin texture by refining pores, controlling oil, and stimulating collagen production. All this with minimal downtime and discomfort. Described by its founders as a “Great first-time peel for all age groups who want fresh, healthy, radiant skin,” the VI Peel seems to be a fix-all for a variety of skin types and conditions.
The secret? It all comes down to the synergistic blend of active ingredients including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, vitamin C, and a blend of minerals. All have wonderful benefits, like improving texture and tone, rejuvenating the skin, and helping to prevent further damage. It also contains pain-numbing ingredients to lessen the burning sensation. The Vi Peel is less about actually making the skin peel and more about infusing it with ingredients that will have beneficial effects.
The VI Peel is made up of a blend of ingredients that include:
VI Peels are gentle enough that they can safely be used on your face, chest, eyelids, hands, and back.
There are five different versions of the VI Peel available, each tailored to a specific concern; however, the overall benefits include:
While the original VI Peel covers all the above bases, there are other versions deliver more intense, specialized treatments, such as the VI Peel Purify Precision Plus, used on acne-prone skin and acne scarring. Once you schedule your VI Peel consultation, your Medical Provider will help you decide which version of the VI Peel is most suitable for your needs.
The VI Peel is a unique blend of 5 acids designed to target multiple conditions.
Retinoic Acid
Retinoid acid is a derivative of vitamin A. It helps to regulate growth and differentiation of skin cells, resulting in a reduction in acne, inflammation, and oil production. It’s also where the Vi Peel’s anti-aging benefits come in.
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)
The combination of TCA and phenol creates a controlled injury of the skin, leading to regeneration and resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. TCA clears away dead skin cells to reveal the new skin layers below to treat concerns like skin discoloration, scarring, and wrinkles.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid prevents inflammation by killing bacteria, suppresses sebum production and cleansing the pores.
Phenol
This is the secret weapon that numbs the skin allowing for a painless application and is often used to treat deeper concerns like sun damage, pigmentation, and facial lines.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Vitamin C is included in the VI Peel as “a powerful antioxidant that counters some of the damaging effects of the sun and pollution, reducing pigmentation and improving the appearance of the skin. It also has collagen-boosting properties which is KEY in plumping the skin and smoothing over wrinkles.
A VI Peel only takes about 30 minutes and is usually painless. It uses a blend of ingredients to break down your top layer of skin and reveal healthy skin underneath.The peel is considered non-invasive, and most patients agree that it's painless. Some patients experience mild tingling like pins and needles.
Your exact procedure may differ slightly, but here’s what you can generally expect:
For wow results, VI Peels are often alternated with micro-needling, botox and fillers. Micro-needling breaks pigment down and the VI Peel lifts it. It is recommended patients wait at least 14 days after the peel before undergoing a micro-needling treatment. Fillers and Botox are also regularly combined with the VI Peel and can be done in the same visit leaving the VI Peel to improve fine lines, tighten the skin and address texture and pigmentation.

a single treatment will last easily 3 or 4 months, after which you will need to get another treatment. Do keep in mind though, a single treatment may only last this long as you follow the aftercare instructions provided.
About 4 to 6 hours after your procedure, and at least an hour before bed, you should wash off the peel using a mild cleanser and water. Your skin will likely start to peel 3 days after treatment.
You can take care of your skin after your procedure by:
Overall, VI Peels are generally tolerated well and the side effects tend to be minimal. As we said, skin will peel—a lot—afterward. Patients must understand the importance of resisting the urge to pick or peel away at the skin to avoid scarring. This is especially important for those with darker skin tones. Some patients might experience some skin discoloration around three days after treatment, though it dissipates independently.
The frequency that you should get a VI Peel depends on your budget and the specific skin condition you’re trying to treat. Peels should be at least 4 to 6 weeks between treatments to see continuous results.
The average price of a VI Peel tends to hover between $250-$350 a session; however, the final cost depends on how many treatments you are recommended based on your skincare goals. If you're looking for an overall refresh that’s a few steps above what you can get at home, then one VI Peel session may be all you need. Depending on the level of advancement of your skin concern, it can take three-to-four sessions to achieve the desired outcome.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak with a doctor before getting a VI peel. Due to a lack of research, chemical peels that contain TCA or salicylic acid are not recommended while pregnant.
While the long term goal is to eliminate the need for makeup, it may be worn at any time after the peel solution has dried completely (two hours or more post peel).
No. By sloughing off the old skin and 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.
The skin will be more sensitive during the peeling process itself. You may experience up to four days of sensitivity until PH of the skin is replenished.
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. The peeling process and results are different from the face.
The neck, arms, hands and chest all respond well to a Vi Peel.
Sun exposure should be limited and SPF 30+should be used liberally. 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 skin care maintenance and daily sun protection.
Again, the Vi Peel was created to be practical. The solution must be left on the skin for two hours prior to exercising, washing it off immediately before commencing exercise. Please avoid heavy sweating for the first few days after the peel.
Of course. In some cases, the physician may recommend premedication 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.
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 successfully managed. Your provider has access to advanced protocols. Please note that treating acne scars will require a series of peels.
