The Medi Spa Solution: 3 Vivier Peels

Vivier Peels are more than just a facial; they’re a transformative experience for your skin. These peels utilize a blend of active ingredients to peel away the outer layers, revealing the new, less blemished skin beneath. The peel ingredients are crucial monthly warriors in the fight against acne:

  • Lactic Acid: This AHA exfoliates and hydrates, making it a gentle warrior against rough, acne-prone skin.
  • Salicylic Acid: Known for its ability to penetrate pores, this BHA clears out the blockages that lead to breakouts.
  • Resorcinol: It works to smooth and improve skin texture, also addressing the hyperpigmentation that acne can leave behind.

What about my acne scars?

There are multiple solutions available to treat your acne scars, whether they are pigmented, indented, or both!

Pigmented acne scars: areas of discoloration or hyperpigmentation left behind after an acne breakout.

Atrophic acne scars: characterized by depressions or uneven texture on the skin’s surface caused by the loss of collagen or tissue during the healing process.

Treatments for Atrophic & Pigmented Acne Scars

PicoSure Laser for Pigmented Scars and Texture

  • PicoSure laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin, targeting specific pigmented areas or scar tissue.
  • It is particularly beneficial for addressing pigmented acne scars, as the laser energy breaks down melanin deposits, reducing discoloration and promoting a more even skin tone.
  • By promoting collagen remodelling and surface skin tightening, it can also reduce the size and visibility of pores (and fine lines!) over time, resulting in a smoother and more refined complexion.
  • PicoSure is the most comfortable laser treatment for acne scars.

Microneedling:

  • Uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration.
  • It is effective for treating indented acne scars by encouraging collagen remodeling, filling in the depressions and improving the texture of the skin.
  • Microneedling also helps reduce the appearance of pigmented acne scars by promoting skin cell turnover and fading hyperpigmentation over time.

Fractional Laser for Atrophic & Pigmented:

  • Fractional laser treatments create microthermal zones within the skin, stimulating collagen synthesis and skin remodelling for treating both indented and pigmented acne scars.
  • Laser energy promotes collagen production, plumping the skin to minimize depressions, and targeting pigmentation, reducing discoloration.

    Microneedling and laser treatments for acne scars require multiple sessions (we recommend starting with 3 sessions) to be effective as your skin needs time to undergo natural collagen remodelling triggered by the treatment. Gradual improvement is achieved with each treatment session as the scars gradually fill in and the skin texture becomes smoother after each appointment.

    This allows new, less marked skin to be generated after each treatment until you reach your desired outcome. 

    Should I get Microneedling or Laser?

    Both these acne scar solutions give excellent results. We offer both types to give you options based on your unique skin type and personal preferences. Every treatment begins with a complimentary consultation with an expert skin technician to determine the perfect solution personalized to your skin. 

    Typically, microneedling is ideal for those with milder scarring and seeking a gentler approach while laser treatments suit skin with more pronounced scarring. Although more intensive, laser often yields quicker results.

    The At-Home Regiment: Daily Support Products

    Pairing our peels with an expertly curated selection of products ensures that your fight against acne continues beyond the medi spa.

    • Medicated Wash Cleanser (AM + PM): Begin and end your day with a defense against the acne-causing culprits. This cleanser dives deep into your pores to melt impurities and maintain the clarity and calmness of your skin.
    • Radiance Serum (AM + PM): As a daily ally, this serum targets uneven skin tone while diminishing the visibility of fine lines. Arbutin and Resorcinol encourage cell renewal, which is essential for acne-scarred skin.
    • Retinol 1.0% (PM): A staple for nighttime skincare, this retinol product minimizes blemishes and supports skin texture improvement, working in tandem with the peel for dramatic results.
    • AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream (AM): This exfoliating cream is a triple-threat, promoting a smooth, clear complexion while also offering anti-aging benefits.

    The Power of Synergy

    When combined, these services and products build on each other, creating an effect that is greater than the sum of its parts.

    The peels provide a strong foundation by addressing the skin’s surface and deeper layers, while the daily skincare regimen maintains and enhances these effects. This thoughtfully paired treatment plan ensures that every layer of your skin is nurtured, from the inside out, paving the way to a blemish-free, radiant complexion.
