What Is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a skin-resurfacing chemical peel that stimulates collagen and increases cellular turnover to reveal smoother and more radiant skin. The peel combines a blend of powerful ingredients, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. These components work together to exfoliate the skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall skin texture. Over the past 15 years, the VI Peel has gained immense popularity, with over 10 million treatments performed worldwide.Â

How VI Peel works
Each component of the peel plays a specific role to renew your skin. Here’s how it works:
- Retinoic Acid:Â This powerhouse ingredient penetrates deep into the skin to inhibit melanin production and increase cell turnover. It helps reduce hyperpigmentation and promotes smoother skin.
- Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA):Â TCA targets signs of aging by boosting collagen production and exfoliating the skin. This leads to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Salicylic Acid:Â Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, salicylic acid kills bacteria, suppresses sebum production, and cleanses pores. This makes it particularly effective for treating acne and preventing future breakouts.
- Phenol: Phenol acts as a numbing agent, ensuring a painless application of the peel. It also contributes to the peel's deep penetration, enhancing its overall effectiveness.
- Ascorbic Acid:Â This powerful antioxidant, also known as vitamin C, reverses free radical damage, evens skin tone, and helps prevent future skin damage. It leaves your skin looking brighter and healthier.
These ingredients work together to address your skin concerns, making the VI Peel a great choice for noticeable improvements in your skin’s health and appearance.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
The VI Peel treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin to remove any oils or impurities. Once your skin is prepared, we apply the VI Peel solution in layers.Â
During the application, you might feel a mild tingling sensation, which is normal and temporary. The entire process typically takes about 30 minutes.
After the peel is applied, we’ll give you post-treatment instructions. The peel will remain on your skin for a few hours or overnight, depending on your specific skin needs and the type of VI Peel used. You can expect your skin to start peeling within a few days, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath.
Benefits of VI Peels
The VI Peel offers numerous benefits, including:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Diminished acne and acne scars
- Evened skin pigmentation and reduced sun damage
- Enhanced collagen production for firmer skin
VI Peel and Microchanneling
If you’re looking to change to skin tone and texture, we recommend combining VI Peel and microchanneling treatments, each a month apart. Your provider will talk to you about the benefits of each of these treatments during your aesthetic consultation, but when these two treatments are used in conjunction with one another, the results are astounding! We offer packages for combining these treatments to help keep you on track!
VIPeel as a ToxBooster
VI Peel for Different Skin Types and Colors
The VI Peel works well on all skin types and tones. Some peels aren’t suitable for darker skin, but the VI Peel safely treats hyperpigmentation, making it a great option for deep skin tones that are prone to dark spots. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin but still effective for all skin types. The balanced blend of ingredients minimizes the risk of irritation and pigmentation issues.
VI Peel as Acne Treatment
If you’re dealing with acne or acne scars, the VI Peel can help. It contains salicylic acid, which clears out clogged pores, reduces oil, and targets bacteria that cause breakouts. This addresses current acne and helps prevent future ones. The peel also has retinoic acid, which speeds up cell turnover and boosts collagen production to help fade acne scars. With regular treatments, the VI Peel can improve your skin’s clarity and smoothness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions. The best candidates include individuals with:
- Early signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne and acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Sun damage and keratosis pilaris
Those with sensitive skin can also benefit from the VI Peel, as it is formulated to be gentle yet effective. However, it’s essential to have a consultation with a qualified provider to determine if the VI Peel is right for you, especially if you have certain medical conditions or are taking specific medications that may affect your skin’s response to the treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects or Downtime Associated With the VI Peel?
Common side effects of the VI Peel include mild redness, peeling, and flaking, which usually subside within a week. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. However, it is important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow post-peel care instructions to protect your skin.
How Many VI Peel Treatments Are Recommended for Optimal Results?
For optimal results, it is generally recommended to undergo a series of VI Peel treatments. The number of treatments varies depending on your specific skin concerns and goals. Typically, a series of three to four peels spaced four to six weeks apart can provide significant improvements.
Can the VI Peel Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes, the VI Peel can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. It is often paired with treatments like microchanneling, neuromodulators (Botox, Xeomin), and other aesthetic procedures. Combining treatments can help address multiple skin concerns simultaneously and achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation.
What Are Your Post-Treatment Skincare Recommendations?
After your VI Peel, follow these simple steps to get the best results:
- Stay out of the sun: Your skin will be more sensitive, so use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when you’re outside.
- Keep your skin hydrated: Apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin calm and comfortable as it heals.
- Avoid exfoliants: Skip any scrubs or exfoliating products until your skin has fully healed to avoid irritation.
- Follow your provider’s advice: Stick to any additional aftercare tips we give you to help your skin recover.
What Makes VI Peel Unique Compared to Other Chemical Peels?
The VI Peel stands apart from other peels like glycolic, Jessner, and salicylic peels because it uses a blend of ingredients that can treat multiple skin concerns.
While glycolic and salicylic peels focus mainly on exfoliation, the VI Peel also includes retinoic acid and vitamin C, which help with skin tone, texture, and signs of aging. It’s also milder than Jessner peels, which can be too harsh for sensitive or darker skin.
What Are the Long-Term Benefits of VI Peels?
Getting regular VI Peels offers lasting benefits for your skin. Multiple treatments can help:
- Prevent skin damage and aging by promoting collagen production and cell turnover.
- Keep issues like pigmentation and acne at bay.
- Reduce fine lines for a more radiant, youthful look.
Can I Wear Makeup After Getting a VI Peel?
It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after your VI Peel. This gives your skin time to recover and absorb the treatment’s benefits. Applying makeup too soon could interfere with the healing process and reduce the peel's effectiveness.
Will I Experience Any Pain or Discomfort During the VI Peel?
Most people feel a mild tingling or slight stinging sensation during the VI Peel, but it’s usually brief and well-tolerated. The peel also contains phenol, which acts as a numbing agent to minimize any discomfort. If you’re concerned, your provider will make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process.
Is There Anything I Should Do to Prepare My Skin Before the VI Peel?
Before your VI Peel, it’s important to keep your skin clean and hydrated. Don’t use exfoliating products or retinoids for at least a week before your appointment, as they can increase sensitivity. Your provider may give you additional guidelines based on your skin type and concerns to help you prepare for the best possible results.
How Long Does It Take to See Results From a VI Peel?
You can expect to see some improvement in your skin within the first seven days after your VI Peel. As your skin continues to heal and regenerate, you’ll typically start to see the full results within two to four weeks.
