CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels have a long and trusted history of resurfacing and enhancing the skin’s appearance. Conditions like acne, uneven pigmentation, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles can be addressed and improved. Vivier’s Medical-Grade Chemical Peels offer an immediate solution by safely removing the outermost layer of skin. This process reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and improves common concerns like uneven skin tone, dullness, scarring and fine lines.

Vivier’s commitment to innovative skincare, backed by over 20 years of pharmaceutical expertise, aligns perfectly with our vision at Prairie Bliss. Vivier is our trusted partner and as a Prairie Bliss patient, you can relax knowing we have teamed up with experience and professionalism. You can choose a single peel treatment or our packages to achieve more significant results. Prairie Bliss proudly offers two types of Medical-Grade Chemical Peels by Vivier Pharma to help every patient look and feel their best.

Jessner peel

The Jessner Peel contains a blend of active ingredients, each with its unique benefits. It uses lactic acid to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, salicylic acid to penetrate and unclog pores, and resorcinol to break down uneven skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. This treatment is considered medium to deep and is highly effective for various skin concerns. These include scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation and sun damage as well as acne and rosacea breakouts. For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced at least 4 weeks apart, is recommended. This approach allows for proper healing and regeneration, ensuring long-lasting and noticeable improvements with each subsequent peel.

14% Lactic Acid:
The one responsible for firmer and thicker skin which reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. It helps make your skin look smoother and brighter while keeping it hydrated
14% Salicylic Acid:
This is the ingredient that helps reduce the swelling and redness of the skin caused by acne. It also helps unclog the pores decreasing the chances of clogging in the future.
14% Resorcinol:
It disinfects the skin which prevents any infections. The high percentage of resorcinol is what makes our Jessner Chemical Peel effective in treating acne and other breakouts. It also stimulates collagen production for fresher- looking skin.

Vivier peel

While the Vivier Peel, is a modified peel that combines lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol at lower concentrations to deliver outstanding results. This minimally invasive yet highly effective peel is designed to target various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and acne scarring. This peel reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the look of dilated pores, and brightens the skin with no downtime.

10% Lactic Acid: helps improve moisture levels in overly sensitive or dry skin.
2% Salicylic Acid: helps ease acne, reduce oiliness, improve texture and ease post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH). Also encourages the removal of debris that can clog your pores and dull the upper layer of your skin.
14% Resorcinol: helps ease inflammation, redness and acne.
