What to Expect During the Procedure

A VI Peel® session is quick and comfortable, typically lasting about 30 minutes:

Cleansing – The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and oil.
Application – Two layers of the VI Peel® solution are applied to the skin.
Activation – The peel begins working immediately, creating a "frosting" effect.
Post-Treatment Care – The peel remains on the skin for 4-6 hours before being washed off at home.

Mild tingling or warmth is normal during the application, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

Aftercare & Recovery

To maximize your results and promote healthy skin renewal, follow these post-treatment guidelines:

Wash Off the Peel – Rinse the skin 4-6 hours after application using a gentle cleanser.
Use Post-Peel Protectant – Apply the recommended hydrating barrier cream to support healing.
Avoid Sun Exposure – Protect the skin with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Expect Peeling – The skin begins peeling within 3 days and lasts about a week.

Following proper aftercare ensures optimal results with minimal irritation.

How Often Should You Get a VI Peel®?

For best results, treatments can be scheduled every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin concerns and desired outcome. A personalized treatment plan will be developed based on your unique skin needs.
