Are you considering Botox to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines? At Timeless Youth MD in West Des Moines, IA, we believe in offering the most effective and safe treatments for our clients. While botox is a popular choice, pairing it with a VI Peel can significantly enhance your results. We call this treatment combination GlowTox! Here’s why you shouldn’t opt for botox without the simultaneous benefits of a VI Peel.
Understanding How Botox Works
Botox is a type of neurotoxin, and works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles with expression, resulting in smoother skin. It’s an excellent choice for treating dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines. However, botox alone cannot address all skin concerns like pigmentation and overall skin texture.
What is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a medical-grade medium depth chemical peel that penetrates deep into the skin (all the way to the dermis). It acts by deeply exfoliating the skin. It effectively addresses issues like sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. By promoting cellular turnover, the VI Peel enhances skin tone and texture, resulting in radiant skin as well as improved overall skin health.
Combining Botox and VI Peel: A Power Duo
In an effort to improve standards of care in treating sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles, a recent scientific study investigated the effects of using VI Peels and Botox in combination. The study enrolled 30 patients across different skin types and used various scales to evaluate skin improvements, such as the Wrinkle Severity Scale and Skin Tone Scale. Patients received a VI Peel followed by Botox. The results were impressive:
Wrinkle Severity Scale: Average rating dropped from 1.46 to 0.59, representing a 60% improvement.
Uniformity of Pigment Scale: Average rating dropped from 2.27 to 0.92, representing a 59% improvement.
Skin Tone Scale: Average rating dropped from 2.35 to 0.71, representing a 70% improvement.
No adverse events were reported, confirming the safety of the same-day combination. Patient satisfaction was high, correlating with the objective findings.
Why You Should Combine Treatments
Enhanced Results: Combining botox with a VI Peel ensures comprehensive skin rejuvenation. While botox targets muscle-induced wrinkles, the VI Peel improves overall skin health, texture, and tone. This combination provides a more youthful and radiant appearance compared to botox alone.
Proven Safety and Efficacy: The study confirmed that the same-day combination of VI Peel and Botox is both safe and effective. With no reported adverse events and significant improvements across various skin evaluation scales, you can trust in the enhanced results and safety of this treatment combo.
High Patient Satisfaction: Patients in the study reported high satisfaction levels. The combination treatment not only delivered noticeable improvements but also boosted confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
