Vi Chemical Peels at Messina Esthetic Medicine : Long Island NY.
The medical grade chemical peels offered at Messina Esthetic Medicine are an excellent addition to any skin care program.
We are proud to be one of the first to offer the Vi peel as seen on news 4 and the passion of South Beach.
Chemical peeling has undergone extensive study and research over the past fifty years and deemed to be safe and extremely effective for multiple skin conditions. Long before laser therapy there were chemical peels both superficial involving only the epidermal skin layers and deep involving the papillary dermis. The depth of each is directly related to the Ph or amount of acidity the agent is prepared at and the medium it is mixed in,gel vs liquid. Thus a lower percentage of agent such as Glycolic Acid at 20% will be superficial compared to a Glycolic Acid peel at 70%. They both are glycolic acid but the 70% has a lower Ph thus will go deeper into the skin structure.
Dr. Messina offers both superficial and deeper medical grade peels, the difference being the benefits. Superficial peels have no downtime and refresh the skin. The medical grade peels have a few days downtime but deliver superior results.
- Refresh and Rejuvenate the face by reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Removal of age spots
- Removal of Freckles
- Acne Reduction (especially with salicylic acid)
- Solar Lentiges “sun spots”
