The Treatment
The Science of Synergistic Resurfacing
The VI Peel is a physician-directed, pharmaceutical-grade chemical exfoliation system that works by creating a controlled "shedding" of the damaged epidermal layers. Unlike single-acid peels, the VI Peel utilizes a synergistic blend of TCA, Phenol, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid, and Vitamin C. This combination allows for a deeper penetration into the dermis with minimal discomfort. By lifting away years of cumulative sun damage and environmental wear, the VI Peel triggers a profound regenerative response, stimulating the production of high-quality collagen and elastin to fundamentally change the skin's biological density.
This experience is ideal for face, neck, and decollete. Your provider will refine the exact sequence, timing, and aftercare based on your skin, goals, and comfort level.

Prepare
The skin is thoroughly degreased and "prepped" with a medical-grade acetone solution to ensure the peel solution reaches the corrective layers.
03
Treat
The VI Peel is applied in precise layers. You may feel a warm, active tingling for several minutes, which then subsides into a comfortable, numbing sensation.
04
Restore
You leave with the peel on your skin. Your provider provides a "Take-Home Care Kit" and a digital roadmap to manage your 7-day shedding process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Good Questions, Clear Answers
Every facial protocol is refined around your skin on the day of your visit. These treatment-specific notes come directly from the facial guide for this service.
Will I actually peel after a VI Peel?
Yes. This is a "true" peel. Most clients begin to peel on day 3, with the most significant shedding occurring on days 4 and 5. By day 7, the process is usually complete, unveiling a fresh, luminous complexion.
Is the VI Peel painful?
During the application, you will feel a "spicy" sensation for about 30 to 60 seconds. However, the phenol in the peel acts as a mild numbing agent, making the rest of the application virtually painless.
Is this peel safe for dark skin tones?
The VI Peel is famous for being the first medical-grade peel safe for all skin types. Because it is a blended peel, it avoids the risk of "hot spots" and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it the "Gold Standard" for melanin-rich skin.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Discontinue use of Retin-A, Retinols, and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) for at least 3–5 days prior. Avoid direct sun exposure. Your skin must be healthy and hydrated for the best results.
How many VI Peels do I need?
While a single VI Peel provides a dramatic "reboot," we recommend a series of 3 to 4 peels for clients dealing with deep-seated melasma or significant acne scarring.
