VI Peel Beverly Hills

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.

Our team at NassifMD® MedSpa is excited to offer this advanced cosmetic treatment as part of our ongoing commitment to achieving beautiful, luminous skincare results.

What is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is formulated with minerals, salicylic acid, vitamin C, retinoic acid, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and is appropriate for a range of skin ailments. This medium, medical-grade peel is a safe, effective rejuvenation procedure to help remove the outermost layer of damaged skin, revealing a pristine, blemish-free complexion beneath. As the VI Peel is formulated with a built-in topical anesthetic, patients experience no pain or discomfort.

What Concerns can a VI Peel Address?

Lines, creases, and wrinkles
Skin laxity
Acne and acne scarring
Crow’s feet
Enlarged pores
Melasma
Sun damage

What Can I Expect From My Treatment?

A VI Peel typically takes around 30 minutes to complete. The skin is gently cleansed and stripped of any residual oil. The peel is then applied layer by layer. As the solution penetrates the pores, you may feel a slight tingling sensation. After the peel has been completely applied, a layer of sunscreen is then smoothed across the skin. The peel remains in place until the patient arrives home. Within a few hours, the patient can remove the peel using vitamin C-infused towelettes.

Am I a good candidate for a VI Peel?

If you are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and texture, facial redness, hyperpigmentation, or acne, a VI Peel might be the ideal solution you’ve been looking for. The VI Peel can be uniquely customized to your individual needs and is appropriate for many different skin types. Even if your skin is sensitive, the VI Peel might still work for you. The best way to tell for sure is to schedule a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Nassif and his medspa team.

What can I expect after my VI Peel?

After a VI Peel, the complexion may appear bronzed due to the surfacing of pigmented cells. During the healing phase, you’ll need to protect your skin and keep it hydrated using medical-grade skincare products recommended by Dr. Nassif and his team. By day 3, your skin will begin to peel and may feel itchy. This shedding of the skin’s damaged outer layer continues for up to one week. Always wear sunscreen when outdoors to prevent skin damage. Multiple VI Peels may be required to achieve your desired results, with treatments spaced out every 2-4 weeks.

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.
