The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel formulated with a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients that work together to resurface the skin, address pigmentation, and stimulate collagen — all with minimal discomfort and little downtime. Unlike many superficial peels that deliver only modest results, the VI Peel penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin to create real, visible change after a single treatment.
The VI Peel combines trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and vitamin C in a precise formulation. Applied as a liquid to the skin’s surface, these ingredients work in concert: TCA and phenol break down damaged skin cells and drive the solution deeper into the dermis, while retinoic acid accelerates cell turnover and salicylic acid clears congestion within the pores. The result is controlled, even exfoliation that removes dull, damaged skin and triggers the body’s natural healing response — prompting fresh collagen production and new cell growth beneath the surface.
Patients see meaningful improvement in sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin tone. It is also highly effective for fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, enlarged pores, acne breakouts, and post-acne scarring.
The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, and most patients describe a mild warming or tingling sensation that subsides quickly. No neutralization step is required — the solution is left on the skin and a take-home kit is provided to use over the following days. Peeling typically begins around day three and concludes by day five to seven. Peeling tends to occur in sheets, and most patients are comfortable going about their normal routine throughout the process.
Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in skin clarity, tone, and texture after just one VI Peel, with results continuing to develop over the two to four weeks as new collagen matures. For deeper concerns such as acne scarring or significant hyperpigmentation, a series of two to three peels spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
