If you want to rejuvenate your skin and address common concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, the VI Peel might be just what you need. This popular chemical peel treatment improves skin tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime. The VI Peel combines powerful ingredients that coordinate together to exfoliate the skin, facilitate collagen production, and minimize the appearance of blemishes and discoloration.
It’s suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile option for anyone seeking a more youthful and radiant complexion. Whether you’re dealing with indications of aging, sun damage, or persistent acne, the VI Peel offers a comprehensive solution to help you achieve smoother, more precise, healthier-looking skin.
What is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a type of chemical peel that combines several powerful ingredients to improve the skin’s appearance. It contains trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. This blend works together to exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and address various skin issues like pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines.
The VI Peel is known for being relatively gentle compared to other chemical peels, making it suitable for all skin types and tones. The treatment typically involves the application of the peel solution in two layers. The first layer numbs the skin, and the second layer penetrates deeper to provide more intensive treatment. After the peel is applied, the skin may appear frosty or white, and over the next few days, it will start to peel away, revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath.
The entire process is quick, usually lasting about 20 minutes, and is generally painless. Most people can return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment, with only minimal aftercare required, such as avoiding heavy sun exposure and using moisturizers and sunscreens as directed. The results from a VI Peel can be quite impressive, often visible within a week, and can last for several months with proper care.
Benefits of a VI Peel
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- The VI Peel enhances the production of collagen and elastin, which aids in diminishing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to smoother and more resilient skin.
- Treatment of Hyperpigmentation
- This peel effectively addresses pigmentation issues such as melasma, age spots, and sun damage. The ingredients work together to inhibit melanin production, leading to a more even skin tone.
- Improvement in Skin Tone and Texture
- The VI Peel improves skin clarity and texture by shedding dead skin cells and fostering the development of fresh, healthy skin. This process results in a more luminous and youthful appearance.
- Acne and Acne Scar Reduction
- The peel’s exfoliating action helps clear out pores, lessen acne outbreaks, and reduce the visibility of acne scars. It is especially advantageous for individuals with acne-prone skin.
- Minimal Downtime
- Unlike many other chemical peels, the VI Peel involves minimal downtime. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, with the peeling process typically occurring over a few days.
- Versatility for All Skin Types
- The VI Peel is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
- Non-Invasive Treatment
- As a non-invasive procedure, the VI Peel provides significant skin improvements without surgery or more aggressive treatments.

The VI Peel Procedure
The treatment begins with the practitioner thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This ensures the peel can penetrate effectively and work on a clean surface.
Once the skin is prepped, the VI Peel solution is applied in two layers. The first layer is applied to numb the skin and begin exfoliation. Some patients may feel slightly tingling or stinging, but this typically subsides quickly. After a few minutes, the second layer is applied. This layer penetrates deeper into the skin, delivering the active ingredients that stimulate collagen production and target specific skin issues like pigmentation and acne. During this stage, the skin may turn white or “frost,” which indicates that the peel is working.
After the application, patients are advised to leave the peel on their skin for about 4 to 6 hours before washing it off. This allows the ingredients ample time to penetrate and start their rejuvenating work. The peeling process usually begins around the third-day post-treatment and can last for up to a week. During this time, follow the post-peel care instructions provided by the practitioner, which typically include using a post-peel protectant, avoiding direct sun exposure, and refraining from picking at the peeling skin.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, as the VI Peel involves minimal downtime. However, to ensure optimal results, they should avoid strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating and should not apply makeup until the peeling process is complete.
