A Vivier Professional Peel is suitable for anyone with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV wanting to achieve healthier, more radiant skin. It is generally recommended to avoid chemical peels if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, actively taking oral acne medication or have extremely sensitive skin or compromised skin barrier.

Your skin care professional will verify if you are a good candidate for a professional peel during your consultation. They will evaluate which Vivier Professional Peel is right for your needs and may recommend a series of treatments to achieve your desired results.

3 to 5 days prior to your peel you should stop using any exfoliating products that may be drying or irritating to the skin. Avoid products containing retinoids, acids (salicylic acid & AHAs) or benzoyl peroxide. You should also avoid doing electrolysis, waxing, laser, or other hair removal procedures on your face.

A peel appointment can range anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour.After the peel is applied you may experience a slight warmth or mild stinging sensation as the peel activates on your skin.It only takes 3-5 minutes for the peel to self-neutralize and these symptoms will subside.

Vivier Professional Peels have little to no downtime depending on the strength of peel chosen and condition of your skin. You may see some redness or light peeling approximately 48 hours after the treatment and this may last up to 5 days. The amount of sloughing experienced will vary depending on the condition of your skin and the home care products used. It is not an indication of the effectiveness of the treatment.

As any redness or peeling subside you will begin to see the youthful, glowing results of a Vivier Peel!
