At Head & Heart Health and Wellness, we offer advanced chemical peels to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Our featured options include BioRePeel, VI Peel, and the newly added VI Peel Body. While these treatments share some benefits, they each offer unique formulations and advantages based on your individual skin goals.
Biorepeel
Description: Biorepeel is a unique two-phase, biostimulating, and bio-revitalizing peel that combines chemical exfoliation with skin rejuvenation properties. It typically contains a mixture of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) along with amino acids, vitamins, and other active ingredients.
Key Features:
- Composition: Contains lactic acid, salicylic acid, and a blend of active ingredients like vitamins and amino acids designed to revitalize the skin.
- Mechanism: The dual-phase action provides both superficial exfoliation and deep stimulation, promoting cell turnover and enhancing skin quality.
- Treatment Areas: Suitable for various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and hands.
- Benefits:
- Improves overall skin texture and tone.
- Reduces signs of aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
- Helps with acne and post-acne scars.
- Provides a glowing appearance.
- Downtime: Minimal downtime, with patients often able to return to normal activities shortly after the treatment. Some mild redness or flaking may occur.
VI Peel
Description: The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that typically contains a blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, phenol, and retinoic acid. The VI Peel is designed to provide deeper exfoliation and can effectively target more significant skin concerns.
Key Features:
- Composition: Contains a combination of TCA, salicylic acid, and phenol, along with additional ingredients to enhance penetration and effectiveness.
- Mechanism: The deeper penetration of the ingredients affects the middle layers of the skin, leading to more significant exfoliation and rejuvenation.
- Treatment Areas: Primarily used on the face, but can also be applied to the neck and other areas as needed.
- Benefits:
- Improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
- Reduces hyperpigmentation, including melasma and age spots.
- Helps to clear acne and acne scars.
- Enhances skin texture and tone.
- Downtime: Moderate downtime, with patients typically experiencing peeling and redness for several days after the procedure (usually 5-7 days). The days with the greatest amount of peeling are usually days 3-5.
VI Peel Body
Description: VI Peel Body is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to improve skin concerns on the body, such as acne, stretch marks, discoloration, and fine lines. This treatment reveals smoother, clearer skin by exfoliating damaged layers and stimulating collagen production.

- Non-invasive and pain-free
- Promotes collagen for improved tone and firmness
