As erasing summer skin damage is more than likely a large part of your patient’s yearly routine, particularly after the summer months, we are now deeming autumn “peel season” – a time to expunge the skin damage inflicted over the summer. As sun damage impacts each person’s skin differently, at VLS Pharmacy & New Drug Loft we are pleased to offer a multitude of peel options to enhance skin health, even its appearance, and reduce future breakouts.
While considering the dermatological needs of women, in particular, we also consider the changes in skin that occur throughout the years, in addition to the implications of environmental factors. What worked for a woman when they were younger might no longer apply. Generally, women’s skin’s ability to recover from sun damage decreases with age (Ganceviciene et. al., 2012). Luckily, chemical peels are a great way to counteract these effects. VLS Pharmacy & New Drug Loft makes it simple for you to offer your clients custom-made and effective chemical peels for any age, skin type, or skin condition.
Intelligent Aging
To thwart the skin’s aging process, we offer a range of compounded anti-aging solutions including antioxidant creams and serums as well as bleaching agent options such as kojic acid, hydroquinone, arbutase, tranexamic acid, and azelaic acid. At VLS Pharmacy & New Drug Loft, we compound dermatologic formulas allergen and preservative-free so you, or your patient for at-home treatments, are only applying the active ingredients necessary to combat signs of aging, nothing more.
Skin Brightening + Renewal
Recommending an excellent compounded solution for skin brightening and skin renewal begins with customized formulations for each of your patients. You are able to choose the vehicle for the solution and the active ingredients to make sure you get exactly what you want.

What We Offer
We will work with you to choose a base and the perfect blend of anti-aging ingredients for your patient’s skin type, texture, and concerns. Our offerings include an impressive breadth of peel strengths and multi-ingredient blends for in-office use without lengthy or complicated order requirements.
Here are a few of your peers’ favorites when it comes to compounded solutions:
TCA 10-50%
TCA is available in various strengths and concentrations, depending on your patient’s goals and skin type. As TCA removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth, it benefits those looking to combat aging, acne scarring, and melasma and can be used on the face, back, shoulders, and any other skin surface.
The perfect time for a TCA peel? After the summer – when the patient is looking for a quick (30-minute in-office procedure) to achieve fresh, healthy, and younger-looking skin.

Glycolic Acid 20-70%
An alpha-hydroxy acid derived from the sugar found in sugar cane or beets, glycolic acid acts as an anti-inflammatory with beneficial antioxidants. As the glycolic acid breaks down the lipids on the skin’s surface it promotes the destruction of dead skin cells and also combats excess oils in these areas.
A useful treatment for those who suffer from acne and acne scarring, dark spots, stretch marks, melasma, photoaging, and in-grown hairs, glycolic acid can act as a one-stop solution for many of your patients’ post-summer skin concerns.
Our Glycolic Acid is also available with Hydroquinone 2%.

Salicylic Acid Peels 20-30%
A chemical peel belonging to the beta-hydroxy acid family, salicylic acid is commonly found in willow bark, wintergreen leaves, and other naturally occurring substances. As salicylic acid breaks down dead skin cells and unplugs excess oil on and within the skin, it creates an exfoliating result with natural anti-inflammatory benefits.
Beneficial for those suffering from acne, acne scarring, photoaging, freckles, melasma, and sun damage, salicylic acid can be used throughout the year.

Azelaic Acid Peel
Found naturally in grains such as barley, wheat, and rye, azelaic acid combats against microbes and bacteria in the skin and promotes cellular turnover. In conjunction with the Fitzpatrick Scale as a reference tool, VLS Pharmacy & New Drug Loft are able to compound this formulation to treat acne, rosacea, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation, and skin lightening for a range of skin types, textures, and needs.

Treatments for Hair Loss
We offer a range of potential solutions for hair loss that utilize potent ingredients. As each individual case is different, compounding is an excellent strategy to address a patient’s specific type of hair loss or hair thinning, including the duration and severity.
Effective treatment requires that the prescriber considers more than two dozen variables, which is why we offer a multivalent approach that addresses all the known factors that contribute to hair growth. Our pharmacists are experts at creating custom compounds that address both medical skin conditions and aesthetic concerns. We collaborate with prescribers to develop formulas to provide effective treatments at affordable rates. Read further about our hair loss and hair hyperpigmentation treatment options.
