What is a VI Peel?

A VI Peel is a specialized type of chemical peel that combines a powerful blend of acids into a solution that is applied to the face to address a variety of common skin concerns. The VI Peel works by gently destroying the damaged outer layer of skin and other problem areas, like pigmented lesions. Over the course of the next 3 – 5 days, the damaged skin cells will flake away, and patients will be left with a new, healthier, clearer complexion.

What does the "VI" stand for in VI Peel?

The VI Peel was originally created and formulated by Vitality Institute, which is where the name comes from. The experienced professionals at Vitality Institute created the VI Peel as a versatile, medium chemical peel that would be gentle enough to use on a wide range of skin tones while still being effective enough to make a noticeable impact on the skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance.

What can a VI Peel help with?

The VI Peel remains a highly popular skin rejuvenation treatment thanks to its versatility in addressing and improving a variety of common skin concerns, including those associated with aging, sun damage, and more. Some of the specific aesthetic skin flaws that may be noticeably improved with a VI Peel include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sun spots
• Melasma
• Age spots
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scarring
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough skin

Is a VI Peel safe for dark skin tones?

Another exciting benefit of the VI Peel is that almost anyone can be considered a candidate for treatment, as the VI Peel is typically safe, appropriate, and effective for almost any skin type or tone. Still, there may be some factors that could rule a patient out as a VI Peel candidate, like an active infection or skin condition. Prior to treatment, our knowledgeable aestheticians will perform a thorough skin evaluation to determine whether a VI Peel may be suitable for you. Whether or not you qualify for a VI Peel, we will work with you to develop a customized skin rejuvenation treatment plan that can help you achieve the clearer, smoother skin you've been dreaming of.
