Collagen-Stimulating Treatment
The VI Peel
If you have spent years layering products at the bathroom mirror and still see the same dark spots, the same rough patches, the same dullness staring back, the issue is not your willpower. Topical products live on the surface. The VI Peel goes underneath it. In a single 30-minute appointment, a blend of clinically proven acids resurfaces the skin and reaches into the layer where pigment, texture, and collagen actually live.
- All skin types and tones
- Visible results in about a week
- Built-in numbing for comfort
- Performed by licensed nurse practitioners
What Is the VI Peel?
Think of the VI Peel as the multitasker of the chemical peel world. Where most peels lean on a single acid to chase a single problem, the VI Peel combines five active ingredients that work together, so one treatment can address tone, texture, breakouts, pigment, and early signs of aging at the same time. That blend includes trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, each doing a specific job: TCA and salicylic acid lift away damaged surface cells and clear congestion, retinoic acid speeds up cell turnover, phenol numbs the skin and helps fade discoloration, and vitamin C brightens while defending against free-radical damage.
VI Peel vs. a Standard Surface Peel: Which Is Right for You?
Both clear away dead skin and leave you brighter. The difference is how deep the treatment reaches and how much correction you are actually after.
Standard Surface Peel
- Light, single-acid exfoliation (often glycolic or lactic)
- Best for a quick refresh and ongoing maintenance
- Little to no peeling, return to your day immediately
- Great gentle starting point or between-event glow
VI Peel
- Five-ingredient medium-depth formula reaching the upper dermis
- Targets melasma, sun damage, acne scarring, and fine lines
- About 5 to 7 days of light, manageable peeling
- Safe across all skin tones, including deeper complexions

Sound Like You?
If any of that hit close to home, you are exactly who this peel was built for. The VI Peel is safe and effective across the full range of skin tones, which is not something every peel can claim, and each treatment is selected and applied by a licensed nurse practitioner based on what your skin needs the day you walk in. You do not have to arrive with the right vocabulary or a list of ingredients. Come in with the result you want, and we will choose the formulation that gets you there.
How the VI Peel Works
The VI Peel is performed by a licensed nurse practitioner and takes about 30 minutes in the office, though the treatment continues working for hours after you leave. There is a short, predictable peeling phase over the following week, which your provider will walk you through so it never catches you off guard.
Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your provider reviews your concerns, skin type, and history to confirm the VI Peel is the right fit and to select the specific formulation for your goals before anything is applied.
Cleanse and Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased so the peel can absorb evenly, which is what prevents the patchy, unpredictable results that single-acid peels are known for.
Layered Application
Your provider applies the peel solution in two to three thin layers. You will feel a brief warming or tingling sensation that fades within a few minutes, eased by the phenol built into the formula.
Take-Home Activation
You leave the office with the peel still on your skin and rinse it off at home a few hours later, following the simple timeline your provider gives you. This extended contact is part of what makes the results so thorough.
The Peeling Phase
Around day two or three, the skin begins to flake and shed, continuing through roughly day five to seven. Fresh, even-toned skin emerges underneath as the old, damaged layers fall away.
VI Peel Before and After Results
See how a VI Peel improves clarity, evens tone, and softens texture and discoloration over a complete treatment cycle. Results vary by skin type, concern, and how many peels are in your series, and your provider will give you a realistic, honest expectation at your consultation rather than a promise.
Individual results vary. Photos shown reflect real progression over several months as new collagen develops.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions About the VI Peel
Does the VI Peel hurt?
Far less than most people expect from a medium-depth peel. The formula contains phenol, which acts as a built-in numbing agent, so during application most patients feel only a brief warmth or light tingling that settles within a few minutes.
How many days will I actually be peeling?
The visible peeling typically runs about five to seven days. It usually starts around day two or three as light flaking, becomes more noticeable mid-week, and tapers off by the end.
Is the VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, and this is one of its biggest advantages. The VI Peel is formulated to be safe across the full range of skin tones, including deeper complexions that are often poor candidates for traditional single-acid peels because of the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How many VI Peels will I need to see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin after a single peel. For deeper concerns like melasma, acne scarring, or significant sun damage, a series of treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart produces the most meaningful, lasting change.
How does the VI Peel compare to a HydraFacial or a lighter peel?
They serve different purposes. A HydraFacial and lighter surface peels are excellent for hydration, gentle exfoliation, and routine maintenance with essentially no downtime. The VI Peel is a corrective, medium-depth treatment that reaches the upper dermis to address pigment, texture, and scarring that surface treatments cannot touch, in exchange for about a week of peeling.
What should I do to prepare for my VI Peel?
If you use retinoids or strong exfoliating acids like glycolic or salicylic acid, your provider will likely have you pause them a few days before your appointment. Make sure any active skin issues in the treatment area, such as cold sores or irritation, are under control beforehand, and avoid significant sun exposure in the days leading up to your peel.
How do I care for my skin after a VI Peel?
The two essentials are sun protection and patience. Freshly resurfaced skin is highly vulnerable to UV damage, so daily SPF is non-negotiable while you heal. Keep the skin hydrated, avoid makeup during the active peeling days, and never pick or pull at flaking skin, as that is what causes most complications.
Can the VI Peel be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and a thoughtful combination is often the most effective path to a specific goal. The VI Peel pairs well with neurotoxins, facials, and other corrective services, but sequencing and timing matter so the skin is never overworked.
