The VI Peel is a skin-resurfacing chemical peel that stimulates collagen and increases cellular turnover to reveal smoother and more radiant skin.

1. VI Peel Original– for tone and texture
2. VI Peel Advanced– for enhanced collagen stimulation
3. VI Peel Precision Plus– for skin discoloration
4. VI Peel Purify– for active acne and oily skin
5. VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus– for acne and acne scarring

Licensed estheticians, aesthetic nurses or medical providers (PA, NPs, Physicians) can administer this peel. It is important that a medical provider prescribes the treatments and the technician has been trained in chemical peeling.

The best time to get a VI peel is when you are planning on being out of the sun for a while, and don’t have any important social gatherings. It is most common to get VI peels in the fall/winter months. 

• Reduction of acne, oliness, clogged pores, and surface acne scarring
• Lightening and reducing sun spots and hyperpigmentation
• Lightening Melasma
• Smoothing fine lines/wrinkles
• Brightening the complexion and proving a more even tone
• Preventing signs of aging through collagen production

Although side effects are minimal with VI Peel, there is a potential for burning skin, itchiness, blistering, skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation), allergic reaction, and severe dryness. There is also a potential risk of scarring if you pick and peel the dry/sloughing skin while healing. It is important to hydrate the skin and avoid any skin picking.

VI peels are comfortable for most clients because of the numbing agent in the solution. At EMA we find that most clients explain the VI peel “tolerable with mild tingling” compared to other chemical peels that may have more severe burning, itching, and hot sensations. Each VI Peel treatment also comes with an aftercare skincare kit that helps the client heal and provide comfortability from the peel.

Aftercare for VI Peel is relatively easy, but your provider will give you instructions to follow, specifically. However, it is important to have realistic expectations of peeling around days 4-5. Resist the urge to pick, peel, or rub the flaking skin as this can cause scarring. Apply the provided skincare products that come with each VI Peel for the following 7-10 days until the skin is healed, and remain out of direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh skincare products such as scrubs, retinol, and acids until skin is fully healed. Makeup can be applied after treatment, but most people let their skin be during the 5-7 days of flaking/peeling.

Before a chemical peel your provider will go through a mini consultation and explain pre and post treatment guidelines. Once “before” pictures are taken and documentations are signed, the treatment will begin. A VI Peel is relatively quick with application. Once the skin is cleansed and prepped with acetone/alcohol the peel application will be applied. Once the skin is well saturated in the solution, you will then take home the post care products and stay out of the sun. 

⭐️ All VI Peels come with post-treatment kits with the proper skincare products to use for the following 7-10 days. 

Even though you may not see visible peeling or shedding of the skin after your VI Peel, you are still getting the benefits of the treatment. Sometimes “well prepped skin” (i.e skin that has used retinols, exfoliants, has had multiple facials treatments) is already in great condition and there is less dead skin to be peeled away.
