The VI Peel is among the most requested chemical peels, thanks to its impressive anti-aging properties and ability to address a wide array of cosmetic concerns, ranging from acne scarring and sun damage to enlarged pores and melasma.
How long does it take to see results after a VI Peel?
Many patients notice improvements in skin tone and clarity within about one week, once peeling has completed. Collagen stimulation continues beneath the surface, so skin texture and firmness often continue to improve over the following weeks.
Can a VI Peel be performed on areas other than the face?
Yes. In addition to the face, VI Peels can be used on areas such as the neck, chest, hands, and back, depending on your concerns. Your provider can determine whether these areas are appropriate during your consultation.
Is a VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
The VI Peel is widely regarded as a safe option for many skin tones, including darker complexions, when performed correctly. Customization and proper aftercare are essential to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Should I stop using certain skincare products before my VI Peel?
You may be advised to discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, or certain active ingredients prior to treatment. Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions to help prepare your skin and optimize results.
Can I wear makeup during the peeling process?
It is generally recommended to avoid makeup while your skin is actively peeling to allow proper healing and reduce irritation. Once peeling subsides, makeup can usually be resumed as directed by your provider.
How does a VI Peel compare to lighter chemical peels?
The VI Peel penetrates deeper than superficial peels, allowing it to address more advanced concerns such as melasma, acne scarring, and visible signs of aging, while still maintaining a strong safety profile when properly administered.
Is there an ideal time of year to get a VI Peel?
VI Peels can be performed year-round, but many patients prefer fall or winter when sun exposure is easier to limit. Consistent sun protection is essential regardless of the season.
