VI Peel
What Are VI Peels?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Using a powerful blend of TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C, the VI Peel exfoliates the skin, stimulates collagen production, and targets common skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Unlike more aggressive peels, the VI Peel delivers dramatic results with minimal discomfort and downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking a smoother, brighter complexion.

The VI Peel Process - What to Expect
- Consultation & Skin Assessment: Your provider will assess your skin and determine if the VI Peel is the best option for your concerns.
- Cleansing & Preparation: Your skin is cleansed to remove oil and impurities, ensuring optimal penetration of the peel.
- Application of the VI Peel: The VI Peel solution is applied in layers and left on the skin for a set period. You’ll be provided with detailed post-care instructions.
- Peeling Phase (Days 3-7): Over the next several days, the outer layer of skin gradually sheds to reveal **smoother, more radiant skin** underneath.
Recovery & Downtime
The VI Peel has minimal downtime, making it ideal for busy schedules. The peel remains on the skin for several hours before being washed off at home. Peeling starts around day three and lasts five to seven days, with flaking, dryness, and mild redness as part of the process.
For best results, avoid sun exposure, apply SPF 30+, keep skin hydrated, and refrain from picking at peeling skin. Your provider will guide you through proper aftercare to ensure optimal healing and results.
