Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a customizable treatment to patients seeking skin rejuvenation. Whether you want to treat acne, look younger, or just improve skin texture and tone, there is a chemical peel treatment for you. Dr. Anh Vu offers chemical peels and other skin care treatments for men and women in Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and St. Augustine.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a non-invasive treatment that is designed to exfoliate the skin and reveal the healthy, beautiful skin underneath. These are highly customizable, allowing patients to receive the treatment that will best benefit their skin. Chemical peels can address a range of skin conditions, including wrinkles, sun damage, acne, and scars.
What Kind of Chemical Peels Are Available?
At Anh Vu, M.D., we offer a range of chemical peel treatments so our patients can achieve the results they want. These treatments include:
VI Peel
Our standard treatment, the VI Peel, improves skin tone, texture, and clarity. It reduces and eliminates age spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation, including melasma. It also reduces pore size, softens lines and wrinkles, and stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer skin. Medical dermaplaning is recommended immediately prior to the VI Peels. At 6 weeks post-peel, we recommend the Harmony Rejuve Facial.
VI Precision Peel
With a higher concentration of the synergistic blend of ingredients in the VI Peel, Precision is 25 percent stronger than a basic VI Peel. Precision is an excellent addition for treating stubborn hyperpigmentation, including melasma, actinic keratosis, and age spots on the hands, arms, or chest. Use the Precision Peel in conjunction with the VI Peel. Medical dermaplaning is recommended immediately prior to the VI Peels, and a Harmony Rejuve Facial is recommended 6 weeks post-peel.
Glycolic Peel
Reduces active acne, eliminates blackheads, and stimulates natural collagen production to improve the appearance of light wrinkles. The Glycolic Peel also evens out skin tone, brightens skin color, and fades hyperpigmentation.
VI Acne Peel
With the power of Benzoyl peroxide, you can see an improvement in your acne-prone skin in just seven days. Effective for patients as young as 12, the peel is virtually painless. Medical dermaplaning is recommended immediately prior to the VI Peels, and a Harmony Rejuve Facial is recommended 6 weeks post-peel.
VI Precision Plus Peel
The VI Precision Plus Peel is a powerful booster and pad system with effective ingredients. Hydroquinone and Kojic acid make the Precision Plus perfect for correcting pigmentation issues. Medical dermaplaning is recommended immediately prior to the VI Peels, and a Harmony Rejuve Facial is recommended 6 weeks post-peel.
Salicylic Peel
A series of light salicylic peels is recommended for patients with acne concerns, reducing the appearance of acne and helping prevent future breakouts.

How Are Chemical Peels Administered?
Before a chemical peel, the skin is washed to prepare it for treatment. Then, the chosen treatment is applied. These treatments are not painful, but they can cause a stinging sensation. The skin absorbs the chemicals, which cause it to exfoliate over the next week or two. Chemical peels are generally performed in about 30 minutes.
What Can I Expect After My Chemical Peel?
After a chemical peel, you can expect redness and mild sensitivity for a few days. The skin will crust and peel for one to two weeks after treatment. We recommend that patients limit sun exposure as much as possible, as the newly revealed skin will be highly sensitive to sunlight. After approximately two weeks, you will start to notice the results of treatment as healthy, vibrant skin becomes visible.
