Get answers to common questions about VI Peel.

The VI Peel uses a medical-grade blend of acids and nutrients to exfoliate surface layers, target excess pigment, and stimulate renewal. Over days of light peeling it fades discoloration, refines texture, and reveals a more even, luminous complexion.

Most clients feel a mild tingling or stinging during application; topical numbing or cooling can be used. Post-treatment discomfort is minimal and short-lived, managed with gentle skincare and avoiding sun exposure.

Downtime is typically light: expect visible peeling for about 3–7 days. You can usually resume normal activities quickly but should avoid heavy makeup and sun exposure. Skin continues to improve over several weeks.

Many clients achieve visible improvement after one treatment, but a series of three peels spaced four to six weeks apart often provides the best cumulative results. Your provider will recommend a plan based on skin concerns and goals.

Yes—VI Peel is often combined with injectables or light laser procedures, but timing matters. Your clinician will sequence and space treatments to reduce irritation and optimize healing. Disclose all recent procedures to create a safe, effective plan.

Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, recent isotretinoin use, active cold sores, open wounds, or uncontrolled skin infections. Certain darker skin tones require experienced assessment to reduce hyperpigmentation risk. A consultation ensures suitability and personalized care.
