In the world of skincare, innovation is key to offering new, effective treatments that cater to the ever-evolving needs of our skin. One of the latest combinations making waves in the aesthetic world is ToxBooster with VI Peel. But what exactly is this treatment, and how does it work? We'll dive into the details of combining neurotoxin treatment with VI Peel, exploring how together they can rejuvenate and refresh your skin.
What is ToxBooster?
ToxBooster is a relatively new skincare treatment that aims to enhance the effects of Botox or similar neurotoxin injections. Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport are injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While Botox injections are incredibly effective, the concept behind ToxBooster is to enhance or 'boost' the results of these treatments using a combination of other skin-enhancing techniques like VI Peel. By combining these therapies, ToxBooster works by not only smoothing out the skin's surface but also boosting collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and optimizing the effects of Botox or other neurotoxins.
What is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a highly effective, medical-grade chemical peel designed to address a wide range of skin concerns. This peel is known for its ability to target everything from acne and hyperpigmentation to fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. The VI Peel combines a unique blend of acids, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and phenol, to exfoliate the skin, promote cell turnover, and encourage collagen production.
Unlike many other chemical peels, the VI Peel is relatively gentle yet powerful, offering noticeable results. It’s suitable for all skin types and tones and can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, and even delicate areas like the under-eye region. The VI Peel can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of pigmentation issues, and leave the skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Why Combine Neurotoxin with VI Peel?
Now that we know what each treatment involves, let’s explore why combining Tox with VI Peel can be so beneficial for the skin.
1. Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation
The VI Peel works to exfoliate and resurface the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When paired with Botox (or similar botulinum toxin injections), the ToxBooster can optimize the effects of Botox, creating smoother, more youthful skin.
2. Better Absorption of Tox
The VI Peel can also improve the texture and health of the skin, which may help Botox or other injectables to settle more evenly. By reducing skin impurities and making the skin surface smoother, the results from your neurotoxin treatment can be enhanced and potentially last longer.
3. Skin Texture & Tone Improvement
While neurotoxins target wrinkles caused by muscle movement, the VI Peel works to treat other skin imperfections like acne scars, pigmentation, and rough texture. This combination helps to improve not just the expression lines but the overall appearance of the skin, resulting in a more even, radiant complexion.
4. Complementary Anti-Aging Effects
Both neurotoxins and the VI Peel have anti-aging benefits, but they address different aspects of skin aging. Botox targets the muscle contractions responsible for creating wrinkles, while the VI Peel focuses on rejuvenating the surface layer of the skin. Together, they can create a holistic anti-aging treatment that smooths, brightens, and tightens.
5. Minimal Downtime with Maximum Results
The VI Peel has a relatively short downtime - typically 5-7 days of light peeling, and when combined with a neurotoxin, patients can enjoy smoother, younger-looking skin without the long recovery time associated with more invasive procedures. Both treatments are non-invasive, making them appealing to those seeking less aggressive options.
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
If you’re considering the combination of neurotoxin with the VI Peel, here's what you can expect during the treatment process:
1. Consultation
Your Sparkle Aesthetics provider will start with a complimentary consultation to discuss your skin goals, assess your skin type, and determine if the combination of treatments is right for you. We offer a no-strings-attached consultation, so you have a judgement-free space to ask all your questions and figure out which treatment or homecare would be best to meet your aesthetic goals.
2. VI Peel Application
If you are ready to move forward with the Toxbooster treatment, we start this treatment with the VI Peel. There are several VI Peels to choose from that can specifically address discoloration/pigment concerns, acne/oily concerns, texture concerns, fine lines & wrinkles, and more! In our consult, we will help determine which peel is the best for your skin and your concerns. The VI Peel is applied to the skin in a series of layers. You will feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the peel works to exfoliate the skin. The treatment typically takes around 20-30 minutes.
3. Neurotoxin Injection
If you’re also receiving Botox (or another injectable), that will be done immediately after the peel. Neurotoxin injections are quick and typically involve a series of small injections into specific areas of the face, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, or frown lines. Again, we will discuss the areas you'd like to focus on in your consultation to ensure we target all desired areas.
4. Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, there may be some redness or mild swelling at the injection sites, which should subside within a few hours. For the peel, your skin may start to peel within a couple of days (typically day 3), revealing fresher, smoother skin. Be sure to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions, which typically include gentle skincare, avoiding sun exposure, and staying hydrated. We send you home with the proper skincare during your peel downtime (7 days) to ensure you're compliant at home & achieve great results. This is included in your Toxbooster treatment.
Is ToxBooster with VI Peel Right for You?
The combination of neurotoxin with the VI Peel is a powerful treatment option for anyone looking to address both wrinkles and skin texture concerns. However, not everyone is a candidate for this treatment. Individuals with certain skin conditions or sensitivities may need to consider alternative treatments.
It's important to consult with one of our experienced providers who can tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs. Your provider will evaluate your skin health, discuss your goals, and help determine if this combination is right for you.
