Skin resurfacing does just that; resurfaces. It helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by resurfacing the patient’s skin. There are two types of skin resurfacing treatments: ablative (requires downtime) or non-ablative (requires no downtime), these procedures are effective to treat skin issues like sun damage, acne scarring and more.

Chemical Peels – Chemical peels are a great skin resurfacing option for many patients and are typically broken up into three categories: Superficial peels, Medium peels, and Deep peels.
Microdermabrasion – Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing or exfoliating procedure that improves the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, melasma, dull skin, large pores, hyperpigmentation, acne, and scarring.
Preparing for Skin Resurfacing
3-5 days before your VI peel is advised to stop using exfoliating products, tretinoin (Retin-A), acids and bleaching creams/products. Do not wax or have a skin treatment like a chemical peel or IPL 2 weeks prior to your treatment. Please discontinue Accutane 6 months prior to having any skin treatment or procedure due to skin sensitivity.
What to Expect During Skin Resurfacing Procedure
VI Peel – Patients’ skin will be cleansed and prepped for the peel. The selected peel will be applied over the face and neck until all of the liquid has been used and absorbed by the skin. This peel is self-neutralizing, it will not be cleansed from the skin while they are in our office. Patients may feel mild tingling and warmth during the peel application.
SkinCeuticals Peels – The patient’s skin will be cleansed and prepped for the peel. Each of our SkinCeuticals peels is done as part of a facial, so it will include multiple steps: deep cleanse, peel application, soothing mask, and customized products to nourish and protect the skin.
Skin Resurfacing Recovery Time
VI Peel – When a patient leaves our office, their skin may look a little yellow. This is the peel. The peel self neutralizes over several hours. 4-6 hours after the peel, patients will cleanse the peel from their skin.
SkinCeuticals Peels – There is no downtime with any of these peels. Patients are able to apply make-up immediately following treatment.
It is always recommended to keep the skin well hydrated and nourished following all skin treatments and if patients will be out in the sun, we advise them to wear sunscreen.
Skin Resurfacing Consultations
We believe consultations are very important when considering any skin treatment. Our consultations give us the opportunity to get to know our patients and understand exactly what they are looking to achieve with their skin. At the consultation patients will meet with one of our medical aestheticians who will put together a treatment plan along with product recommendations for them to consider.
