What Is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a professionally applied chemical peel available only through authorized clinical providers. The treatment uses a carefully formulated blend of exfoliating and skin-renewing ingredients to remove damaged surface cells and encourage a more even, refreshed appearance.
VI Peel offers several formulations designed for concerns such as pigmentation, acne, and visible aging. Your provider will determine which option is most appropriate based on your skin, medical history, current products, and desired outcome.
During treatment, the peel solution is applied in controlled passes. The solution remains on the skin for a period of time after you leave the office, and you will receive detailed instructions for cleansing, post-treatment products, sun protection, and the expected peeling process.
What Can a
VI Peel Improve?
A VI Peel may be recommended for patients who want to improve overall skin clarity or address several concerns at once. Depending on the formulation selected, treatment may help improve:
Helps reduce the appearance of visible discoloration caused by accumulated sun exposure.
Supports a brighter, more balanced complexion when areas of pigmentation make the skin look patchy or dull.
Certain formulations may help improve active breakouts, clogged pores, and excess oil.
Can help fade the appearance of lingering discoloration left after blemishes heal.
Encourages surface renewal for skin that looks smoother, softer, and more refined.
Removes damaged surface buildup that can prevent the skin from looking fresh and luminous.
Not every type of discoloration or acne should be treated in the same way.
Conditions such as melasma and deeper acne scarring require careful evaluation, and a peel may be only one part of a broader treatment plan.
Benefits of a VI Peel
- Improves several common skin concerns in one treatment plan
- Promotes a brighter and more even-looking complexion
- Helps smooth rough or dull surface texture
- Offers multiple formulations for individualized treatment
- Can be used as part of an acne or pigmentation plan
- Professional application in a medical setting
- Predictable at-home peeling process with guided aftercare
- May be repeated as part of a customized series
A Controlled
Renewal Process
The visible peeling that follows treatment is part of the skin-renewal process, but the amount of peeling does not determine whether the treatment worked. Some patients experience noticeable sheets of peeling, while others have lighter flaking.
Peeling commonly begins a few days after treatment and is often most noticeable around the mouth, nose, and chin before progressing to other areas. As the treated surface cells shed, the skin beneath may appear smoother, brighter, and more even.
It is important not to pull, pick, or exfoliate peeling skin. Following the provided aftercare instructions and using daily sun protection are essential for safe healing and the best possible outcome.
VI Peel vs. a
Traditional Facial
A VI Peel and a professional facial can both support healthier-looking skin, but they serve different purposes.
- VI Peel
Uses a professional chemical solution to create controlled exfoliation and address concerns such as discoloration, acne, dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture. Visible peeling and several days of recovery should be expected.
- Professional Facial
Typically focuses on cleansing, hydration, gentle exfoliation, and immediate skin refreshment. A facial generally involves little to no peeling or downtime.
Patients looking for relaxation and routine maintenance may prefer a facial, while those seeking more corrective exfoliation may be better candidates for a VI Peel. Your provider can help determine which treatment aligns with your skin and schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
About VI Peel
What happens during a VI Peel treatment?
Your skin is cleansed and prepared before the peel solution is applied in a series of controlled passes. You may feel mild warmth, tingling, or stinging. The solution typically remains on the skin when you leave the office, and you will be instructed when to wash it off and how to use the included aftercare products.
When will my skin begin to peel?
Peeling commonly begins about two to three days after treatment, although timing and intensity vary. The most visible peeling often occurs over several days before gradually resolving.
How much downtime should I expect?
A VI Peel® typically involves about 3 to 7 days of peeling and skin recovery, although the amount of peeling and downtime varies from person to person and depends on the specific VI Peel formulation.
Most patients can continue normal activities, but visible peeling, dryness, tightness, redness, or sensitivity may make the treatment noticeable for several days. Plan around important events and follow the timeline recommended by your provider.
Can I wear makeup after a VI Peel?
It is generally recommended to avoid makeup immediately after a VI Peel® and allow the peel to remain on the skin for the time directed by your provider. After the peel has been removed, your provider will let you know when it is appropriate to resume makeup.
Can I exercise after treatment?
It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours after a VI Peel®. Heat, sweating, hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise may increase irritation during the early recovery period. Follow the specific restrictions included in your aftercare instructions.
Should I pick or remove peeling skin?
No. Pulling or exfoliating the skin can cause irritation, delayed healing, infection, or unwanted pigment changes. Allow the skin to shed naturally and use only the products approved by your provider.
How many VI Peel treatments will I need?
The number of VI Peel® treatments depends on your skin concerns, goals, and the specific peel recommended for you. Some patients see results after one treatment, while others benefit from a series of peels. Your provider will recommend the best treatment plan for your skin.
Is a VI Peel appropriate for all skin tones?
VI Peel formulations are designed for use across a broad range of skin tones, but treatment still requires individualized evaluation. The formulation, preparation, and aftercare should be selected carefully, particularly for patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Who should not receive a VI Peel?
A peel may need to be postponed or avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infections, open wounds, recent significant sun exposure, certain allergies, or use of medications and skin-care products that affect healing. Your provider will review your history and determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Can a VI Peel treat melasma?
A chemical peel may be incorporated into a melasma treatment plan for selected patients, but melasma is a chronic and complex condition that can worsen with irritation, heat, or sun exposure. A consultation is necessary, and long-term sun protection and maintenance care are essential.
Can VI Peel be combined with other treatments?
Yes. A VI Peel may be alternated or strategically combined with treatments such as microneedling, injectables, laser or light treatments, and medical-grade skin care.
Same-day treatment combinations may include VI Peel + toxins (also known as a “Toxbooster”) and dermaplaning. Other procedures should be scheduled with appropriate spacing to protect the skin barrier and reduce irritation.
