What is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that uses a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients—including TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C—to deeply exfoliate the skin and encourage new collagen growth. This peel addresses multiple concerns simultaneously: acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, dull texture, and more. It is safe for all skin types and tones and is especially known for producing beautiful, even-toned results with minimal irritation.

What to Expect During a VI Peel

Your VI Peel treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of the skin, followed by the application of the specially formulated VI Peel solution. The process is quick and virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only mild tingling or warmth. After your in-office treatment, you’ll be sent home with a tailored post-care kit and detailed instructions to support your skin through the exfoliation phase.

VI Peel Recovery and Results

Peeling typically begins 2 to 3 days after your treatment and may last for 4 to 7 days. This process reveals fresh, healthy skin underneath and is a key part of the rejuvenation process. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow all post-care directions for optimal results. After your peel, you can expect a brighter, clearer, more youthful complexion that continues to improve over time. Many patients choose to receive a series of peels for enhanced, long-term results.

Can I combine a VI Peel with other treatments?

Yes, many patients combine the VI Peel with treatments like microneedling, BOTOX, or laser therapy. However, the timing must be strategically planned by our providers to ensure optimal healing and results.

How often should I get a VI Peel for best results?

Depending on your skin concerns, VI Peels can be performed every 4 to 6 weeks. For chronic issues like acne or melasma, a series of 3 to 6 treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement.

Will I need to take time off work or social activities?

Most patients can resume normal daily routines immediately, but visible peeling typically begins within 48 hours and lasts for several days. You may prefer to limit social events during this period.

Can I work out or sweat after a VI Peel?

It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 48 hours post-treatment, as perspiration may interfere with the peel’s effectiveness and increase irritation.

Is the VI Peel safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The VI Peel is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to the active ingredients that may pose risks to the baby. Please consult with your physician before undergoing any cosmetic treatments.

How long will my results last?

Results can last several months, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. However, maintenance peels and a customized home regimen are recommended to preserve your radiant complexion.
