  • The Procedure

    Your VI Peel starts with a short skin assessment so your provider can confirm the right formulation. The peel solution is applied to clean skin in layers, and most patients feel mild tingling or a warming sensation while it's on. The solution stays on for a set time, then is neutralized before you leave.
    The whole visit is quick, with no real downtime afterward. You'll walk out with post-peel care instructions and a clear idea of what the next few days look like.

  • The Results

    A VI Peel works on two timelines. In the first seven to 10 days, the outer layers exfoliate and regenerate, so skin feels smoother and looks brighter. Over the weeks that follow, tone and texture keep improving as peeling and flaking gives way to fresh skin.
    Most patients get the fullest correction from a series of peels, usually three to four treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. Before-and-after comparisons tend to show the clearest change across a full series rather than after a single visit.

Aftercare

After your VI Peel, it’s important to follow proper aftercare to promote healing and get the best possible results. Each patient will receive post-treatment care instructions that walk each patient through post-care procedures. Sun protection is crucial: avoid direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day. It’s also important not to pick or peel the skin manually, as this could lead to irritation or scarring. By following these aftercare steps, your skin should heal beautifully and reveal its full potential.

Reminders

To ensure the best outcome from your VI Peel treatment, it’s important to follow some preparation guidelines. For at least 7 days before your peel, it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds, as well as discontinue using products that contain retinol, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating ingredients to prevent irritation. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment to keep your skin in optimal condition. Also, refrain from scheduling any other skin treatments such as facials, laser procedures, or waxing for at least one week prior to your peel.
