What is a Vi Peel?
The Vi Peel is a medical grade chemical peel that resurfaces the skin to improve tone, texture, clarity, and the look of fine lines. It works by using a blend of acids to lift away damaged surface layers so fresher, more even skin can come through. Unlike a light spa peel, this is a clinical treatment with a predictable few days of peeling, and it delivers the kind of visible reset that superficial exfoliation cannot.
How it works
The results come from a controlled wound healing response. When the microneedles create those micro channels, the skin moves through its natural phases of repair, releasing growth signals that recruit new collagen and elastin to the area. Because the injury is controlled and precise, you get the remodeling benefit of healing without meaningful damage to the surface. Over multiple sessions, that repeated, guided repair builds firmer, smoother, more even skin from within.
What is in it?
The Vi Peel combines several active ingredients that work together: trichloroacetic acid and salicylic acid to resurface and clear, retinoic acid to speed cell turnover, phenol to help the peel penetrate evenly, and vitamin C as an antioxidant. That synergy is what lets it address multiple concerns at once, from uneven tone and texture to congestion and the early signs of aging, in a single treatment.
Safe for every skin tone
One of the reasons we trust the Vi Peel is that it is formulated to be safe and effective across the full range of skin tones, including deeper complexions that are often told to avoid peels for fear of pigment changes. The company behind it has invested in education specifically around treating skin of color safely, which matters, because everyone deserves access to effective resurfacing without being turned away. At your consultation we will confirm the right peel and protocol for your skin.
A few things people ask me:
What to expect
The peel itself takes about thirty minutes and involves a tingling or warm sensation as it is applied. Over the next several days your skin will peel, usually starting around day three, and this is the point where the fresh skin underneath comes through. Following the aftercare closely, including sun protection, is essential for a clean result. Most people plan their peel around a lighter social week, and many do a series for cumulative improvement.
What it helps with
The Vi Peel is a strong choice for dullness, uneven texture, sun damage, melasma and other pigment concerns, congestion and breakouts, and early fine lines. There are targeted formulations for specific concerns like pigment or acne, and we will select the one that fits your skin and your goals.
