As the summer fades and we transition into autumn, many of us notice the toll that sun exposure, heat and alfresco activities have taken on their skin. September, with its cooler temperatures and reduced UV exposure, offers the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate your complexion. Here we highlight the key benefits of our VI Precision Peel for your skin.
Summer is synonymous with holidays and sun-kissed skin. But prolonged exposure to all that sunshine leads to a host of issues for our skin, including hyperpigmentation, sunspots and fine lines. UV rays break down collagen and elastin in the skin, and this in turn accelerates the ageing process. After the peak of summer sun exposure, September is the ideal time to address these concerns, reverse the damage and promote a more even, radiant complexion.
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the top layers of the skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. But remember, this new skin is more sensitive to sun exposure, so it is crucial to avoid excessive UV light during the healing process. With the sun's intensity diminishing in September and people spending less time outdoors compared to summer, there’s less risk of post-peel complications. The cooler temperatures also make it easier to adhere to post-peel care, such as wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing.
The Benefits Of VI Precision Plus
At our Worcester Health & Wellness Clinic we offer the innovative VI Precision Plus Peel - a medium-depth chemical solution that offers significant benefits for all of skin types and concerns. It’s a powerful tool in your skincare arsenal, and here's why:
Reduction of Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation, or dark spots, is a common concern for many of us. We specifically chose use Precision Plus because it is highly effective in treating this issue. Whether you’re dealing with sunspots, melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne, this powerhouse formula effectively suppresses melanogenesis and promotes rapid cell turnover for improved skin tone.
Reduction of Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Sun exposure can make our skin dry as it damages its natural moisture barrier and elastin fibres, leading to dehydration, loss of elasticity and fine lines. Our peel works by removing the outermost layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production as the skin heals. Collagen is a vital protein that gives skin its elasticity and firmness and by increasing production leads to a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion, reducing the visible signs of ageing.
Improvement In Texture & Tone: Uneven skin texture and tone can result from a variety of factors, but sun damage is definitely at the top of the list. We can help improve these issues by exfoliating the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a more uniform complexion. Regular peels - we recommend early autumn and early spring - significantly enhance the overall texture and tone, making skin feel smoother and appear more vibrant.
Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption: After a chemical peel, your skin is more receptive to the active ingredients in your skincare products. With the outer layer of dead cells removed, your serums and moisturisers can penetrate deeper, making them more effective. This enhanced absorption can lead to better hydration, increased effectiveness of anti-ageing ingredients, and a more radiant complexion. Win win!
