An extraction is the process of clearing a clogged or compacted pore by manual or mechanical means. Extractions are often performed as part of a facial. Most people need at least a couple of extractions during each facial, though you may require more extractions if this is your first facial.

What happens during the treatment?

First, the esthetician will cleanse your skin. Often a desencrustation fluid or enzyme is applied to the skin with steam for a few minutes, to soften the skin and prepare it for easier extractions. The esthetician may also use an ultrasonic device known as a skin scrubber, to loosen the impacted pores. Extractions are performed under a magnifying lamp with a bright light, so that your esthetician can easily see the pores that need to be deep-cleansed. Eye pads or protective eyewear will be placed on your eyes to protect them from the bright light. The esthetician wears gloves, and applies gentle pressure around the pore to extract the contents. This may be done using the fingers (wrapped in gauze or cotton) or a special metal implement designed for this purpose.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?

There are no side effects and zero downtime. You may return to normal activities immediately afterwards.

What is a Vi Peel?

A Vi Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to enhance the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin. The solution peels away damaged outer skin layers to uncover new, fresh, and healthy skin. It is a gentle yet effective peel that will work on any kind of skin without long recovery periods in contrast to many other harsh chemical peels.

This peel is well suited for improvement of multiple skin issues like:
‍
1) Fine lines and wrinkles
2) Acne and resulting scarring
3) Hyperpigmentation and damage from the sun
4) Large pores
5) Skin texture of rough or bumpy nature

At Allure Image Enhancement in Upland, we personalize the Vi Peel to you and your skin's needs to get maximum results with minimal discomfort.

4) Peeling: Over the following days, peeling will begin to take effect; however, beneath the peeling skin is the newly fresh and luminous skin. Peeling commonly commences on the 3rd day and can continue for up to one week.

After Your Vi Peel

Peeling of the skin along with some redness is quite common after a Vi Peel at Allure Image Enhancement. The red hue your skin takes on means the procedure is removing the damaged upper layers of skin. Here is a brief description of what to expect:

- Day 1-2: Your skin may feel tight and slightly red, sort of like a mild sunburn.
- Day 3-4: Peeling usually starts from around the mouth and then proceeds to cover the rest of the face.
- Days 5-7: For most people, this is the period during which peeling continues and new, fresher skin is visible.
- Day 7+: At this point most of the peeling will be over with, and a softer skin with more radiance shows up.

It is important to adhere to all the aftercare provided by your skin specialist: the avoidance of direct sun exposure, a gentle cleanser, and application of moisturizer are key elements for skin protection and the best possible results.
