What is the VI Peel?
The VI peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that helps smooth texture, brighten skin, and boost collagen using a unique blend of acids and antioxidants. This treatment is designed to improve skin clarity, reduce pigmentation, and reveal a more radiant, youthful complexion.
While the VI peel can be paired with Botox® or Dysport® as a Tox Booster add-on for enhanced rejuvenation, it also works beautifully as a stand-alone peel. This treatment penetrates deeply into the skin to target damage, stimulate collagen production, and encourage healthy cell renewal, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.
How Much Does the VI Peel Cost?
- Add-on treatment: $199 when paired with Botox® or Dysport®.
- Stand-alone treatment: $300.
This cost includes your in-office treatment and a take-home post-care kit to ensure your skin heals beautifully and achieves optimal results.
How Long Do My Results Last After the VI Peel?
Results from the VI peel typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine.
Here is what you can expect after treatment:
- Initial results: A noticeable glow, smoother texture, and improved clarity within 7 to 10 days.
- Longer-term results: Enhanced collagen stimulation, refined texture, and reduced pigmentation over 4 to 6 weeks.
- Longevity: Results can last 3 to 4 months and may be extended with proper skincare and sunscreen use.
For continued improvement, we recommend scheduling 3 to 4 peels per year to maintain your glow and support long-term skin health.
How Long Will My Appointment Take?
The VI peel treatment is quick and easy. Most appointments take about 15 minutes from start to finish. This makes it a convenient option to refresh your skin during a lunch break or alongside your regular skincare or injectable appointments.
Does the VI Peel Hurt?
Most patients experience little to no pain during the VI peel. Some may feel a mild warming, tingling, or stinging sensation for the first few minutes as the peel is applied, but this typically fades quickly. The treatment is generally well tolerated, and any temporary tightness or sensitivity afterward is completely normal.
Is There Any Prep for This Treatment?
Minimal preparation is needed before your VI peel.
- Arrive at your appointment with a clean face free of makeup, skincare, or SPF.
- Avoid using retinoids or retinols for 3 to 5 days before treatment.
- If you are using prescription-strength skincare or acne medications, let your provider know prior to your appointment.
Is There Any Downtime or Recovery With This Treatment?
The VI Peel involves light peeling but minimal downtime. Most clients begin to notice visible peeling around days 2 to 3, with peeling lasting approximately 3 to 5 days.
During this time, your skin may appear dry or flaky. Be gentle with your skin and use only the recommended post-care products. Avoid heavy sweating, heat exposure, and picking at the skin as it peels.
It is important not to wash your face, get it wet, or apply any makeup or skincare products for at least 4 hours after your peel. By day 7, peeling has typically subsided, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.
