Retinoic acid, alpha hydroxyl acids with resorcinol and other active ingredients are combined to create the Vitalize Peel, making it one of the safest and strongest peels available.
Clinically proven to help pigmentation problems like age spots and freckles fade, while stimulating the production of collagen in the cells underneath the skin, the Vitalize Peel offers predictable results that are noticeable after just one peel. Whether you’re seeking a treatment to reduce the signs of aging or the effects of sun damage or acne, the Vitalize Peel is a wonderful way to lay the foundation for your healthy skincare routine – and each treatment takes only about 20 minutes.

Obagi Blue Peel Vancouver
Smoother, healthier and more youthful looking skin can be achieved with the Obagi Blue Peel. This peel mixes the patented Blue Base by Obagi with Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) to improve the appearance of your skin, with the strength of the peel being customizable based on your individual needs and skin condition.
Upon consultation, Dr. Rai will evaluate your level of damage in conjunction with your desired level of transformation to determine both the strength of the peel and how many treatments are recommended. The Obagi Blue Peel is usually applied to the face and neck, with the whole procedure taking less than an hour. You will experience a mild burning sensation that generally lasts just a few minutes and your skin may have a bluish tint that normally washes off within 12 to 24 hours. You will also experience some light swelling depending on the strength and depth of the treatment and within two to three days your skin will begin to peel. By the seventh to tenth day your skin should be healed and your complexion will be visibly improved with continuous improvements occurring over the following four to six weeks.

TCA Peels Vancouver
The TCA Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid) is a medium peel that is ideal for minimizing the effects of sun-damaged skin, dry or flaky skin, keratosis (thick skin patches), age spots and dark spots. Acne and blackheads are also improved through the process of shedding away the outer layer of skin that blocks infections in the pores, thereby helping the infection to clear and the pores to heal. Scars and tattoos can be faded with each peel, lip creases can be reduced and large pores can be decreased.
The upper layers of the skin are damaged by factors such as sun, wind and neglect and the TCA Peel works by causing sloughing or removal of these upper layers of skin. TCA Peel treatments can be used in varying concentrations from as low as 10 percent to as high as 50 percent, with higher concentrations creating a deeper peel.
After treatment you will shed the dead, outer layer of skin for about three days and your skin may peel one more time after that. You can then expect your skin to be completely healed within 10 to 14 days, after which you will see improvements such as fewer wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation problems – not to mention a wonderfully healthy and radiant glow. An antibacterial ointment will be used while your skin is peeling and healing, and a quality sun block should be worn for at least 30 days after your skin has healed.
