UV protection is fundamental for a beautiful complexion but one of the best ways to prevent and remove a
ctinic keratosis and precancerous skin cells is to remove them before they can start/multiply with a medium depth peel!
Superficial peels are not effective on actinic keratosis because the acid doesn’t reach the basal layers where the cell mutation begins. As a result, the skin cell mutation will continue to regenerate over and over again. A medium-depth peel, like the
VI Peel
, will penetrate to the papillary dermis and eradicate the mutated cells and keep them from reforming.
During the summer months, when the UV Index is highest, medical treatments are key. We recommend patients receive two VI Peels during the summer months. This will not only keep those ugly/life threatening barnacles at bay but will also stimulate your own regenerative processes like collagen and elastin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!
