VI Peel®

The #1 chemical peel in the world

The VI Peel® is known as the #1 chemical peel worldwide. This unique medium-depth peel is designed to lift pigment, reduce sun damage, improve acne and scarring, and soften fine lines and wrinkles with less downtime compared to traditional deep peels. Formulated with a powerful, synergistic blend of ingredients including TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, the VI Peel delivers visible results safely and effectively in as little as 7 days. It is safe for all skin types and tones and is nearly painless due to its built in topical anesthetic.


 We offer two advanced VI Peel options to target your specific skin concerns. The VI Peel Precision + Peptides is ideal for moderate to severe hyperpigmentation and melasma. It focuses on brightening, evening skin tone, and suppressing excess pigment production at the source. The VI Peel Purify with Precision + Peptides is designed for moderate to severe acne and congested skin. It combines the brightening and pigment correcting benefits of Precision with powerful acne fighting ingredients to clear breakouts and reduce acne related discoloration. 


Both peels are enhanced with Smart Peptide Technology to strengthen the skin over time and help prevent future pigment formation, delivering long term skin health.

Recommended Add-Ons

Dermaplane

Advanced Facial

Advanced Facial

Dermaplaning is a gentle, safe, and effective form of exfoliation that removes dead skin and unwanted hair. This painless procedure uses a scalpel to safely scrape off the top layer of built up dead skin cells, all which can contribute to making your skin look dull or uneven. It is often used as a preparation step before other  treatments, as it aids in enhancing the absorption of skincare products. This increased absorption can maximize the effectiveness of these products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin and provide optimal results.

Adding on a Hydrafacial or Diamond Glow ensures your skin receives a comprehensive treatment, addressing various concerns simultaneously. An advanced facial will gently exfoliate and remove impurities, while infusing your skin with nourishing serums.

Laser Genesis

Advanced Facial

Laser Genesis

 Enhance your VI Peel results with no additional downtime by adding the benefits of a Laser Genesis. This non-invasive laser treatment works beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production, refine texture, accelerate healing, and reduce redness, acne, and inflammation. The combination of collagen stimulation from the Laser Genesis and the resurfacing benefits of the VI peel will give you quicker, more noticeable results, with continued improvement over time, ensuring long-term benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Good candidates are individuals looking to address acne, signs of aging, texture, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.


While VI peel is safe and effective for most people, some individuals may not be ideal candidates due to factors that could increase risks or impact results. Medical clearance may be required for certain conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure. Precautions to consider:


  • Pregnancy.
  • Patients who are undergoing treatment for skin cancer. 
  • Accutane - must wait at least 6 months.
  • Compromised skin (dermatitis, sunburn, open wounds or sores, infection) in the treatment area.
  • Autoimmune conditions that affect skin healing (like lupus or active vitiligo) - consult with your healthcare provider first.


Improvements are often visible shortly after the first treatment, with more significant results after subsequent sessions.


Results often last several months, depending on the individual’s skin care routine and condition.


VI peel can have moderate to severe downtime lasting 7 days or more. There may be redness, dryness, and peeling as side effects. Freckles and sunspots may initially turn slightly darker and then lighten within a few days. This is normal and part of the process. A post-care kit will be provided to help speed up healing.


It involves applying a chemical solution to your skin and leaving it on for a certain period, causing it to exfoliate and peel off. The active ingredients might cause a slight stinging or burning sensation during the application, which usually subsides once the peel takes effect.


Before + After Care

  • Avoid direct sun exposure, including tanning beds, for at least 3 days prior to treatment. Use SPF 30+ if sun exposure is unavoidable.
  • Avoid skin irritants (products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide or acne medications, vitamin C if strong or acidic, hydroquinone, AHAs, BHAs, astringents, depilatories, waxing, shaving, etc.) or any other exfoliating products in the treatment area for at least 72 hours prior to treatment.
  • Avoid facial injections or fillers, lasers, and other facial treatments for 1-2 weeks before receiving a chemical peel.


  • Limited activity and exercise is advised, as well as no sweating, excessive heat, swimming, hot showers, and sauna use for at least 48 hours or until skin is fully healed.
  • Avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure until skin is fully healed. Keep the area covered with a hat or loose clothing and apply a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.
  • Avoid artificial tanning (spray tans, tanning lotions, etc.) and skin irritants (products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide or acne medications, vitamin C if strong or acidic, hydroquinone, AHAs, BHAs, astringents, depilatories, waxing, shaving, etc.) or any other exfoliating products in the treatment area until skin is fully healed. Please use only the products included in your kit for the first few days, unless otherwise advised.
  • Avoid putting on makeup immediately after.
