The Vi Peel is guaranteed to be the finest peel you have ever experienced! The unique blend of ingredients produces powerful results with no pain, no skin preparation and very little downtime. The Vi Peel will:

• Improve the tone, texture and clarity of your skin
• Reduce or eliminate age spots, freckles, and hyper-pigmentation, including melasma
• Soften lines and wrinkles
• Clear acne skin conditions, reduce or eliminate acne scars
• Stimulate the production of collagen, for firmer, more youthful skin

How is the Vi Peel different from other peels?

Obsolete peels of the past, without exception, epitomize the “no pain, no gain” approach to skin care. Before Vi Peel, the deeper the peel, the more painful, the more downtime, the better the results. It is painless, yet produces dramatic visible results in just days with little downtime.

How many treatments are required to show an improved look?

A single Vi Peel will achieve significant repair and add a healthy glow to the skin. It is a true, restorative and painless repair of damaged skin including sun damage and acne. Best of all, it is a true aging preventive for younger skin with no visible damage.

Will results be long lasting?

Like everything else in life, human skin needs maintenance. The Vi Peel’s wonderful results will last as long as skin care is maintained, sun exposure is moderate and preventive aging with the Vi Peel is performed three or four times per year.

What types of skin respond well to the Vi Peel?

The many innovations that created the Vi Peel combine to enable the entire continuum of skin types to enjoy the benefits of the peel. For the first time, African American and darker skin types such as some Asian and Latin skins can experience anti-aging and restorative skin care previously unavailable.

This innovative new laser combines two different wavelengths in one system, allowing us to target and remove hair on any type of skin, on virtually any part of the body. The Elite was chosen as the #1 choice for hair removal on all skin types by Aesthetic Trends + Technologies.

SmartCool® Cooling System - At Mill Creek Skin & Laser, client comfort is one of our top priorities. Our laser hair removal treatments incorporate the SmartCool® cooling system in order to maximize client comfort and minimize side effects. SmartCool® provides a continuous flow of chilled air that protects the tissue and skin.

How does laser hair removal work?

The Elite aesthetic laser combines two different and very powerful laser wavelengths that attack the hair follicle and completely destroy it – making hair regrowth in the targeted area impossible.

Unlike electrolysis, which involves injecting a needle into each and every hair follicle, the Elite laser emits a powerful beam of light that passes through the skin and targets many follicles at once.

This means instead of spending months or even years getting electrolysis treatments, patients can now permanently solve their unwanted hair problems in significantly less time. Laser hair removal treatments are faster, safer and more effective.

How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments is generally determined by the amount of hair, phase of hair growth, area of the body, skin color, hair color and coarseness. Generally, we recommend 4 – 8 treatments at 4 to 6 week intervals between treatments.

Does it hurt?

When being treated with the Elite™ Aesthetic Laser, you may experience a slight prickly or light stinging sensation. Remember that everyone is different and what one person considers bothersome another may not mind at all. It all depends on individual sensitivity or tolerance to the stimulation. Most people tolerate the treatment just fine.

Are there any side effects?

After the treatment, redness and some slight swelling may occur, typically lasting anywhere from 12 hours to 48 hours.

Pre-Treatment

• Limit any alcohol and caffeine consumption for 3 days before and after treatments.
• Avoid non-steroid, anti-inflammatory medicines (Motrin, Aspirin or Aleve) 3-7 days before treatment.
• Avoid as much sun exposure as possible. A minimum SPF30 sun block (UVA/UVB) should be used for any sun exposure during your treatments.
  • We cannot treat sun tanned or self tanner/spray tanned skin
  • Must wait 2–3 weeks until tan coloring fades
• No tweezing, waxing or depilatories 3 weeks prior to treatment.
• Shave the area that is going to be treated the night prior to treatment.
• Makeup, lotion and deodorants must be removed prior to treatment.

Post-Treatment

After laser hair removal, you may experience a slight sunburned or “razor-burned” feeling on the treated areas. This may last several hours. Apply cool compresses to the area for 10-15 minutes each hour for four or five hours if desired.

Keep the area clean with gentle washing two times a day with a mild soap. Follow with a light application of aloe gel if desired. Do not use glycolic products, exfoliation products or Retin-A for at least 4-5 days following your treatment

You will notice some singed hairs and hairs that are working up out of the follicle. This is the shedding process that takes place after the laser treatment, and may last more than two weeks. You may shave the area until the dark hairs have been shed.

Use sun protection with a SPF 30 or greater prior to going outdoors for at least six weeks after each treatment. Sunblock is preferred to sunscreen.

What are the benefits and how does it work?

The Affirm™ laser is the gold standard in the field of non-invasive skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, sagging, and aging skin. This exciting new laser technology combines two different wavelengths and fractional technology to help skin appear younger, smoother and tighter.

Similar to Fraxel®, the Affirm™ Multiplex™ stimulates new collagen production and helps smooth superficial lines and scars in the skin. A second simultaneous wavelength delivers heat directly to the deeper skin layers to produce instant contraction of the collagen and firmer, tighter skin with reduced sagging over time. The combined wavelengths and lower energy levels maximize effectiveness and translate into greatly reduced discomfort as compared with Fraxel® treatments. Since the skin between the laser microspots remains intact, the healing process is much shorter compared with traditional skin resurfacing.

Unlike Fraxel®, the Affirm™ laser requires minimal to no downtime. Patients generally experience sunburn like redness, which can be easily covered with make-up. Affirm™ treatments also take less time than Fraxel®, since no dyes are needed to mark the skin. It can be used on the face, neck, and sagging areas of the body including upper arms, knees, stomach and inner thighs. After the last treatment, new collagen will be produced for an additional 4-6 months. The outcome is firmer, tighter skin, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, filling and smoothing out of acne scars, reduced pore size and younger looking, revitalized skin.

What are the benefits of IPL?

• Shrinks Pores
• Improves Texture
• Reverses Sun Damage
• Fades Age Spots & Freckles

How does skin rejuvenation work?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation skin treatment applies a broad spectrum of light to the skin. The light penetrates deep into the skin, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections. The multiple wavelengths of light reach different levels of the skin to lighten hyperpigmentation, shrink blood vessels and stimulate collagen.

When can I expect to see results?

Gradual and cumulative improvement of skin tone is typically achieved between 5-6 treatment sessions. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on your skin’s condition. Schedule a complimentary consultation to establish your personalized treatment schedule.

Does it hurt?

Cooling of the skin surface ensures patient comfort and additional safety during treatment. Most patients experience little or no discomfort. Some patients may feel warmth or a slight stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Remember that everyone is different and what one person considers bothersome another may not mind at all. It all depends on individual sensitivity or tolerance to the stimulation. Most people tolerate the treatment just fine.

Is there any downtime?

This is a no downtime procedure. Many patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effects are reddening of the skin and mild swelling.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“We came to the Mill Creek Skin and Laser Center looking for a miracle……..” - Randy & Sheri
 

Laser Treatment for Acne Scars

The Affirm laser has quickly moved to the forefront as the first choice of laser technology to treat acne scars. Through a series of treatments which require minimal or no downtime, you can expect your scars to become smoother and less noticeable. The Affirm™ Multiplex™ stimulates new collagen production and helps smooth scars in the skin. A second simultaneous wavelength delivers heat directly to the deeper skin layers to produce instant contraction of the collagen and firmer, tighter skin over time.

What is Blue Light Therapy?

The BLU-U is a unique blue light that can kill the P. acnes bacteria in your skin. Treatments are simple - you sit with your face close to the light for a short time at a schedule set up by Dr. Lin, approximately a 16-minute session about once or twice per week. The treatments may go on for five weeks or so. It’s safe, it’s not hot, it’s not painful. After some weeks, the blue light can help control your acne.

Is the BLU-U® a laser?

The BLU-U is not a laser. Lasers deliver light as coherent beams, while the BLU-U delivers incoherent light scattered over a larger area.
