About VI Peel
WHAT IT IS
The VI Peel is a chemical peel treatment that uses a blend of potent active ingredients, including:
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
Phenol
Salicylic acid
Vitamin C
Tretinoin
This blend works by exfoliating the top skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production, and revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath. VI Peels are known for being virtually painless and requiring minimal downtime.
HOW IT WORKS
Cleanse: Skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils and residue.
Application: Four to six layers of VI Peel solution are applied.
Frosting: Skin may turn white temporarily, known as “frosting.”
Rinse: After 4–6 hours, the peel is gently rinsed off at home.
Peeling Phase: Skin begins to peel on day 3, continuing for 5–7 days.
