Skin Treatments (Chemical Peels, IPL, Laser Resurfacing)

Broad skin treatment menu including chemical peels, IPL photo rejuvenation, Fraxel fractional laser, CO2 fractional laser resurfacing, Erbium laser, Ruby laser, Fotona laser, and Excel V+ vascular laser. Addresses pigmentation, sun damage, redness, visible vessels, acne, uneven skin tone, and surface texture. Delivered under doctor supervision with VISIA Skin Analysis tracking at every appointment.

Victorian Cosmetic Institute Melbourne offers an extensive skin treatment portfolio covering energy-based devices and topical resurfacing modalities, all overseen by the medical team under Dr Gavin Chan. Chemical peels at VCI use medical-grade acids (alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy, trichloroacetic acid, and combination agents) at concentrations requiring doctor supervision to accelerate epidermal cell turnover, treat superficial pigmentation and acne, and improve overall skin texture with minimal downtime at lighter peel depths or more significant resurfacing at medium-depth settings. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photo rejuvenation targets melanin-based pigmentation — solar lentigines, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — and oxyhaemoglobin in broken capillaries and vascular redness, delivering broadband light filtered to specific wavelength windows through the skin surface. For deeper resurfacing, the clinic offers Fraxel fractional laser (1550 nm and 1927 nm wavelengths for collagen remodelling and superficial pigmentation), CO2 fractional laser resurfacing (ablative microcolumns for deep skin renewal and acne scar correction), Erbium laser (gentler ablative resurfacing with faster healing than CO2), and Fotona laser (4D and other protocols for skin rejuvenation and tightening using Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths). Excel V+ provides targeted vascular and pigmentation treatment using 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths for broken capillaries, facial redness, rosacea, angiomas, and pigmented lesions resistant to IPL. All laser treatments at VCI are performed under doctor supervision with VISIA Skin Analysis to quantify pre-treatment skin conditions and track clearance and improvement across sessions — a particularly important benchmark in the Australian market where solar UV exposure is the primary driver of the pigmentation and photoageing concerns treated by this device suite. Melbourne patients across the eastern suburbs, Templestowe Lower, and surrounding Victorian areas have access to this multi-device capability in a single doctor-led clinic.
