VI Peel: The Gentle Chemical Peel That Delivers Big Results
Kasey BennettHi there! I’m a nurse practitioner passionate about helping you achieve your best skin—and one treatment I often recommend for visible, real results with minimal downtime is the VI Peel. Whether you're dealing with acne, sun damage, uneven tone, or want a brighter, smoother complexion, this medical-grade chemical peel can help reset your skin.
What Is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to exfoliate the top layers of skin to address common skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, breakouts, and rough texture. It’s formulated with a powerhouse blend of ingredients—TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and more. These work together to boost cell turnover, clear pores, and brighten your overall skin tone.
And the best part? It’s safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive and deeper skin tones.
Benefits of the VI Peel
This peel is a favorite for a reason. Here’s what patients typically notice after a series:
-
Smoother, more even skin texture
-
Brighter skin with a healthy glow
-
Fewer acne breakouts and reduced acne scarring
-
Minimized fine lines and wrinkles
-
Less visible sun spots and hyperpigmentation
-
Smaller-looking pores
If you're searching for a chemical peel for acne, discoloration, or dull skin, the VI Peel is a tried-and-true option—and it can even enhance your Botox results.
The ToxBooster Treatment
Want even better results from your Botox? The ToxBooster combines a VI Peel with your neuromodulator treatment in the same visit. Since Botox is best known for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, adding a VI Peel beforehand helps prep the skin and amplify your results. It’s a great option for anyone looking to get the most out of their anti-aging treatments—and research supports that this combo can increase Botox’s effects on fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30%.
What to Expect
The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes. After cleansing your skin, I apply the peel in layers. Most patients feel a light tingling sensation, but it’s brief and manageable.
Once we’re done, you’ll leave with the peel on your skin and keep it on for at least 4 hours before rinsing it off at home. Don’t worry—I'll walk you through every step and send you home with a post-peel kit to make it easy.
The bulk of peeling typically occurs between days 3–5, with some light shedding or dryness that may continue for a few days after. You might notice visible flaking—this is completely normal and a sign that the old, damaged skin is making way for a smoother, more refreshed complexion. The full process generally lasts about 7 days from start to finish, leaving you with brighter, healthier-looking skin by the end of the week.
