Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about VI Peel.

A VI Peel session is quick—about 20–30 minutes. You may feel tingling or warmth during application and brief stinging. Skin may appear red afterwards. Most clients experience light peeling over several days and can return to normal activities with simple aftercare.

Downtime is minimal for most clients. Expect light flaking and peeling for 3–7 days, with noticeable improvement after peeling. You can usually resume daily activities immediately, though avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and sun exposure while skin heals.

Many clients achieve visible improvements after a single peel, but a series of 3–4 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended for lasting, cumulative benefits and deeper correction of pigmentation and texture.

Yes — VI Peel is formulated to treat a variety of skin types, including darker tones, when administered by experienced providers. It can safely improve hyperpigmentation, but a consultation is important to customize peel strength and minimize pigmentary risks.

Most clients report only mild to moderate tingling or stinging during application. The peel includes neutralizing steps and topical comfort measures; many find it well tolerated. Any discomfort is short-lived and manageable with our pre- and post-care guidance.
