Our licensed skincare professionals provide customized VI Peel protocols tailored to your specific needs — helping you achieve smooth, radiant, and youthful skin you’ll love.
How the VI Peel Works
Not all chemical peels are created equal. The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates through the top layer of the skin (epidermis) and into the upper dermis to stimulate true cellular renewal.
Unlike superficial peels that only treat the surface, the VI Peel works deep enough to lift damaged skin cells, reduce pigment, and promote collagen regeneration — all with minimal downtime.
The Science Behind the Glow
Our skin’s color, texture, and elasticity are largely determined by melanin and cell turnover. When melanin is overproduced (from acne, sun damage, or hormones), dark spots and uneven tone appear. The VI Peel gently exfoliates the top layers while encouraging your body to create new, evenly pigmented skin cellsbeneath.
This dual action of resurfacing and regeneration reveals a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion in just 7 days.

FAQs
-
The VI Peel uses a unique blend of TCA, Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C to exfoliate damaged skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy ones. It works at a medium depth, meaning it penetrates deeper than a surface peel for more dramatic improvement in tone, texture, and clarity.
-
The VI Peel is ideal for treating:
Acne and acne scars
Sun damage and dark spots
Melasma and hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone and texture
It’s safe and effective for all skin tones, including sensitive skin.
-
Minimal. Most patients notice light peeling around day 3–5, similar to mild flaking. You can return to normal activities immediately — just avoid sun exposure, sweating, and makeup for the first 24–48 hours after treatment.
-
A full VI Peel appointment typically takes 30–45 minutes, including cleansing, application, and aftercare instructions. The peel itself stays on the skin for about 4–6 hours, then is rinsed off at home.
-
Results are typically visible within 7 days after the peeling process finishes. Skin appears brighter, smoother, and more even-toned. Continued improvement occurs over several weeks as collagen production increases.
-
For best results, we recommend a series of 3–4 VI Peels spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin goals. Maintenance treatments every few months can help preserve your glow.
-
Not at all — the treatment is virtually painless. You may feel mild tingling or warmth during application, which subsides quickly. No anesthesia or numbing cream is required.
-
Yes! VI Peel pairs beautifully with Neurotoxins (like Botox), microneedling, or facials for enhanced results. We’ll create a custom treatment plan based on your skin’s needs.
(Ask about our upcoming ToxBooster™ Treatment, which combines VI Peel + Neurotoxin for amplified results.)
-
You should postpone treatment if you are:
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Using strong retinoids or Accutane
Experiencing active skin infections or open lesions
A complimentary consultation at Vanity Look Skin Center will determine if you’re an ideal candidate.
-
We provide a post-peel kit and detailed instructions. The essentials:
Avoid direct sunlight and heat
Don’t pick or pull peeling skin
Use the provided VI Peel towelettes and moisturizer
Always wear SPF 50+ sunscreen
Proper aftercare ensures optimal results and protects your fresh new skin.
What are people saying
About our work
“Hands down the best place I've gone so far to get my lip fillers. My nurse was the first person to ever give me the lip shape I've wanted and actually listened to me instead of doing what she wanted.
Keith Finley
“Omg!!! Hands down, Vahe is best injector I've ever dealt with in my entire life. He has that magic touch and he knows exactly what he's doing.”
Avin R.
“I've been going to Vanity for almost 5 years and Karine is the only injector I trust. I've tried a couple other people/places and Karine is by far the best at what she does! She always takes the time to communicate with me and understand what my desire look is and makes sure we never over for it.”
