Brighten Your Skin for the Holidays With a Chemical Peel

Brighten Your Skin for the Holidays With a Chemical Peel

Skin gets dull-looking. It’s just a fact of nature and the process of living. You don’t need to be complacent about it, and at ThriveOB and Women's Wellness in Barrington, Illinois, we recommend chemical peels to help you put your best face forward this holiday season. 

Now is the perfect time to prepare for the holidays, and a chemical peel is a great way to get your skin in shape, ahead of the hustle and bustle. Let’s take a look at why your skin lacks luster and how a Vitality Institute peel can help. 

Causes of dull skin

You may not think of your skin as an organ, a system of its own, with a living, breathing cycle. One of the reasons your skin loses its glow is simply the process of life. 

Your body is constantly making new skin cells as old ones are shed. That shedding process can be inconsistent, and when you’re not turning them over, these flakes can build up, creating a dull, dry, and patchy surface that's visible to the world. 

But that’s not all. Your epidermis may lose sparkle due to: 

A solid cleaning and moisturizing routine can help, as long as you’re not washing aggressively, which can cause more harm than good by stripping natural skin oils and leading to irritation. 

VI peels to the rescue

Dr. Jennifer Moreira recommends VI peels as an excellent way to revitalize your skin. With five levels of peel strength, we can tailor the proper treatment to suit your skin condition and type. Generally, the stronger the peel, the more dramatic the results; however, aggressive peels may require a longer recovery time. 

We offer the following choices of VI peels: 

Original

Advanced

Precision Plus
