VI Peel
The VI Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel formulated to target a range of skin concerns including acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, and overall texture. This advanced peel works by stimulating cellular turnover and increasing collagen production, resulting in clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin.
Suitable for all skin types and Fitzpatrick levels, the VI Peel is a trusted clinical solution for patients seeking visible results with minimal downtime. Peeling typically begins 2–3 days post-treatment and continues for up to one week, revealing a fresher, healthier complexion underneath.
Clinical Benefits:
– Reduces acne and inflammation
– Lightens pigment and melasma
– Softens fine lines and rough texture
– Improves clarity, tone, and radiance
– Supports long-term skin health through collagen stimulation
Indicated for: Active acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, aging skin, rough texture, and enlarged pores
Before Your VI Peel (Pre-Care)
To ensure the safest and most effective results, please follow these guidelines prior to your treatment:
- Discontinue use of retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliants, and Vitamin C for 7 days prior
- Avoid waxing, laser, microneedling, or other resurfacing treatments for 2 weeks prior
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least 7 days before your peel
- If you have a history of cold sores, let us know—antiviral medication may be recommended
- Let your provider know about any active skin infections, open lesions, or recent cosmetic procedures
After Your VI Peel (Post-Care)
Proper aftercare is essential to achieve optimal results and prevent complications:
- Do not wash your face or apply any products for 4 hours after the peel

- Use only the post-peel towelettes and products provided in your VI Peel kit as directed
- Avoid sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
