What is a VI Peel®?
The VI Peel® is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to address complex skin concerns rather than just exfoliating the surface. Formulated with a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients, it goes deeper to lift pigmentation, clear acne, and smooth out signs of aging.
Best of all? Unlike older generations of deep chemical peels, the VI Peel is virtually painless and safe for all skin types and tones (Fitzpatrick scales I–VI).

Stubborn Pigmentation: Sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
-

What to Expect: The 7-Day Timeline
The VI Peel® is quick, predictable, and fits easily into a busy schedule.
-
Day 1 (The Treatment): The application takes just 20 minutes. You will feel a brief numbing sensation and will leave the office with the peel on your face to wash off at home after 4 hours.
-
Days 1–2 (The Tightening): Your skin will look normal or slightly bronzed. It will begin to feel tight, but no peeling happens yet.
-
Days 3–5 (The Shedding): Visible peeling begins around the mouth and moves outward. Do not pull or pick the loose skin—let it shed naturally.
-
Day 7 (The Glow): Peeling is complete, revealing fresh, smooth, and radiant skin.
