VI Peel

VI Peel Precision Plus

Our most popular treatment, this medium-depth powerhouse peel works to suppress melanogenesis—the production of melanin—at the source while promoting rapid cell turnover for more even and bright skin tone. Resurfacing action reveals brighter, renewed skin for results in 7 days.

Skin Concerns:

• UV-Induced Pigmentation: Targets dark spots caused by sun exposure.
• Sun Damage: Improves texture and tone affected by sun exposure.
• Melasma: Reduces patches of hyperpigmentation.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Fades discoloration from acne or other skin trauma.
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Promotes cell turnover to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Benefits:

• Exfoliates and diminishes pigmentation and textural damage.
• Penetrates damaged areas effectively.
• Promotes rapid cell turnover for improved skin tone and radiance.
• Gentle enough for delicate areas like the eyes, neck, chest, and hands.

Treatment Details:

• Type: Medium-depth chemical peel.
• Formulation: Features a Lighten Booster and Brightening Booster with active ingredients like hydroquinone and kojic acid to suppress melanogenesis (melanin production) and promote rapid cell turnover.
• Procedure: Applied by a licensed professional in a medical spa or clinic. The peel is left on the skin for a specified period (typically 4-6 hours) before washing off. Patients receive a post-peel kit with instructions, including sunscreen and gentle cleansers, to support recovery. Peeling begins 2-3 days post-treatment, lasting 3-5 days, with full results visible in about 7 days.
• Downtime: Minimal, with 5-7 days of flaking or peeling. Makeup can often be applied the next day, and sun exposure should be avoided for 7-14 days.
• Pain Level: Relatively painless, with some experiencing mild stinging for 1-3 minutes during application.
• Frequency: A series of 3-4 treatments annually is recommended for optimal results, though severe cases may require monthly peels initially.
• Suitability: Safe for all skin types and Fitzpatrick types I-VI, including darker skin tones (e.g., African-American, Asian, Hispanic).

VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus

Pigmentation issues PLUS acne and/or acne scarring? Enjoy two treatments in one! Take on current breakouts and the scars and pigmentation they leave behind. Our superior purifying and smoothing acne treatment clears away dead skin cells and excess oil to speed breakout clearing and purify pores to prevent breakouts. By targeting melanogenesis—the production of melanin—at the source, this treatment helps minimize stubborn post-acne scars and uneven tone for a brighter, smoother surface.

Skin Concerns:

• Excessive Oil: Reduces sebum production and unclogs pores.
• Acne with Hyperpigmentation: Addresses active acne and associated dark spots.
• Acne Scarring: Fades textural scarring from acne.
• Adult Acne: Targets persistent acne in adults.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Reduces discoloration caused by acne breakouts.

Benefits:

• Reduces P. acnes bacteria, comedones, and sebum production.
• Clears dead skin cells and excess oil to prevent breakouts.
• Fades acne scarring and pigmentation while promoting healthy cell regeneration.
• Provides a dual treatment for active acne and residual scarring/pigmentation.

Treatment Details:

• Type: Medium-depth chemical peel, specifically formulated for acne and related pigmentation issues.
• Formulation: Combines the original VI Peel formula with additional ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, kojic acid, and hydrocortisone to target acne and hyperpigmentation. It’s approximately 25% stronger than the standard VI Peel Purify.
• Procedure: Administered by a trained professional, with a similar process to other VI Peels: applied in-office, left on for a few hours, and followed by a post-peel care regimen. Peeling starts 2-3 days after application, lasting 3-5 days, with results visible in about 7 days. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and follow post-care instructions, including using a gentle cleanser and sunscreen.
• Downtime: About 7 days, with peeling most intense on days 4-5. No makeup during the peeling phase, and picking peeling skin is discouraged to prevent scarring.
• Pain Level: Generally painless, with mild stinging possible during application.
• Frequency: Recommended 3-4 times per year for maintenance, with monthly treatments for severe acne or scarring initially.
• Suitability: Safe for all Fitzpatrick types I-VI, ideal for acne-prone skin, including darker skin tones.
