VI Peel
A medical-grade chemical peel that improves tone, texture, pigment, and acne with only a few days of light peeling — comfortable, and for most skin types.
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that improves tone, texture, and clarity with only a few days of light peeling. It’s a versatile, comfortable treatment for sun damage, uneven pigment, melasma, acne, and early fine lines — on nearly all skin types.
The VI Peel — Reveal Clearer Skin
The VI Peel uses a synergistic blend of ingredients to exfoliate damaged surface skin and stimulate renewal underneath. Over about a week, the treated skin lightly peels to reveal fresher, brighter, more even skin.
It’s one of the more comfortable peels available — the application takes only minutes with minimal stinging — and there are targeted formulations for different concerns, including versions for acne and for stubborn pigment and melasma.
Unlike stronger ablative resurfacing, the VI Peel is a lighter-downtime option that suits a wider range of skin tones, making it a great entry point or maintenance treatment for skin quality.
- Sun damage and brown spots
- Uneven tone and texture
- Melasma and stubborn pigment
- Acne and acne scarring
- Early fine lines
Most people peel lightly for about 3–5 days, then reveal brighter, smoother skin — an easy fit around a normal schedule.

A VI Peel is quick to apply, with the results unfolding over the following week.
Application
The peel solution is applied in the office in about 15–30 minutes; you go home with the solution still working.
The Peel
Over the next 3–5 days the skin lightly flakes and peels. Don’t pick — let it shed naturally and keep it moisturized.
Reveal
Fresh, brighter skin emerges. A series every few weeks builds cumulative improvement in tone and texture.
Is the VI Peel Right for You?
The VI Peel is a versatile choice for a wide range of skin concerns and tones. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want to improve tone, texture, or clarity with light downtime
- Have sun damage, uneven pigment, or melasma
- Are managing acne or acne scarring
- Prefer a gentler option than ablative laser resurfacing
The VI Peel pairs well with microneedling and a good home regimen; we’ll build a plan for your skin.
VI Peel Variants & Aftercare
The VI Peel comes in several formulations so we can target your specific concern. The original VI Peel refreshes tone and texture and is a great first peel. VI Peel Precision Plus steps up the treatment of stubborn pigment, sun damage, and melasma. VI Peel Purify is formulated for active, acne-prone skin, and Purify Precision Plus targets acne together with the pigment and scarring it can leave behind. There’s even a body formulation for areas beyond the face.
Aftercare is easy but matters: let the skin peel naturally over about 3–5 days without picking, keep it moisturized with the provided kit, and be diligent with sun protection — especially when treating pigment or melasma, which can rebound with UV exposure. A series every few weeks builds the strongest, longest-lasting improvement.
- Original — tone & texture refresh
- Precision Plus — pigment & melasma
- Purify — active acne
- Body — chest, back & more
