About the VI peel

Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions that are customized for different skin type and incorporate a variety of active ingredients that work to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin. The VI peel is a light to medium grade chemical peel. A medium depth peel penetrates the epidermis and the top half of the dermis below it. The combination of ingredients in a VI peel helps rid the skin of damage, promotes cell turnover, and renews the skin’s surface.

What it is

How it works

A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new healthier cells grow in its place. 

There are different types of chemical peels that use different types of acids. Some acids are stronger than others, your provider will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.

What to Expect

On average, a VI chemical peel takes 30 minutes to apply. A mild tingling or warmth may be felt, but there is no pain. Immediately after application, the skin may be red and irritated. You will be given a kit along with detailed instructions on post peel care for the next 7 days . You should avoid the sun and any active skin care ingredients (retinol, vitamin c, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
