Vitalize Peel® in Orange County

Changes to the face occur for a variety of reasons. Wrinkles and fine lines are a normal part of aging, and scarring after acne is not uncommon. The Vitalize Peel® smooths and evens your skin tone to help you feel more confident.

A licensed dermatologist can determine if this procedure is appropriate for your needs. The team at Natural Image OC, led by board-certified cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist Dr. Lenore Sikorski, provides the Vitalize Peel® in Orange County to help interested patients achieve their ideal look.

Benefits of a Vitalize Peel®

Patients in Orange County enjoy several advantages from the Vitalize Peel®, including smoothed wrinkles, fewer lines, and softer skin. The peel is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require interrupting your daily routine.

How the Peel Works

During a Vitalize Peel®, the top layer of dead skin is removed to reveal a brighter, healthier layer. The peel uses lactic acid, salicylic acid, resorcinol, and retinoic acid to improve skin tone and texture. These chemicals have various effects, including exfoliation, conditioning, and boosted collagen production.

Results are visible after a single peel. For even greater results, patients may undergo three to six peels.

Candidates for the Vitalize Peel®

The Vitalize Peel® works on all skin types. It is particularly helpful for patients with mild to moderate skin imperfections from sun damage, freckles, acne scarring, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

People who are pregnant or lactating, have recently undergone cancer treatments, are allergic to aspirin or salicylic acid, or have open wounds, sunburns, or sensitive skin should not receive the peel.

Dr. Sikorski will work with you to determine if the Vitalize Peel® is a good fit for you by discussing your aesthetic goals and medical history.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Results will be visible immediately, with your skin looking tighter and revitalized. The peel exfoliates your skin deeply, allowing the results to last several months.

You may experience peeling or redness for up to five days after the procedure. The retinol may also cause a yellow tint on the skin, but it usually clears up after several hours.

Patients who have received a Vitalize Peel® in Orange County can return to their usual daily routines right after treatment. You can wear makeup but should avoid sweating. It is essential to wear sunscreen following treatment.
