microdermabrasion ashevilleThe goal of skin resurfacing at Virtu is to super exfoliate the outer layer of the skin to minimize acne and other scars, age lines and wrinkles. We have several options from which to choose – Micro-Dermabrasion, Chemical Peels or Pintra Skin Rejuvenation.

Before deciding on a skin resurfacing treatment, we will recommend a skin care regimen prior to the treatment. If you have extensive damage from aging or injury, more than one treatment may be necessary.

CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical Peel involves the application of a variety of chemical solutions to remove the damaged outer layers of dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.  It is extremely beneficial for many skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, sun damage, and photo aging.  By removing the build-up of dead skin cells and stimulating the regenerative process, you will notice marked improvements in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, texture and tone of the skin, hydration, reduced pore size, clearing of blemishes and more balanced oil production and an overall healthier skin appearance.

Progressive Peel – This refers to a treatment that does not usually cause immediate exfoliation and only removes the outer layer of skin.  As treatments are repeated, the skin will experience a mild sloughing.
$150 – 45 min

Mid-Depth Peel – These peels affect the intra-epidermal layer, and exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application.  The skin goes through very little down time.  Peeling consists of light flaking similar to a sunburn peel.
$225 – 45 min

Deep Peel – These peels affect the deepest intra-epidermal layers.  The skin becomes brown and crusty then undergoes considerable peeling, which occurs three to four days after application.  The skin peels in large segments as opposed to flaking.  The entire process takes about seven to ten days.
$250 – 45 min

Image result for tca crossWhat is TCA CROSS and how does it work?
TCA CROSS is the Chemical Reconstruction Of Skin Scars (CROSS) using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It is used mainly to treat acne scars. We understand that acne scars can cause significant psychological stress with social impact.

Image result for tca crossAmazing results are seen after one treatment and yet further treatments may be required up to two or three.  The photo at above-left shows what the skin will look like immediately after the treatment. The white frosting appearance will last a couple of hours. After two to three days, the spots will take on a deep brown color. This is a result of the chemical burn to the deep scars. See photo at right.

The TCA CROSS procedure involves depositing small amounts of TCA at the highest concentration into the acne scar. It feels like mosquito bites. This causes a local inflammatory reaction leading to the Image result for amazing results with tca crossformation of new collagen fibers. The aim is to reduce the depth of the scar by increasing collagen and thereby reducing shadows cast over scar depressions. If you have any type of acne scaring such as ice pick, boxcar or rolling acne scars, you are a great candidate for the TCA cross.
1-5 scars $95
6-10 scars $125
11-15 scars $155
16-25 scars $195
26/up scars $250
