VI “Medium-Depth” Peels penetrate the top laye of the skin to the papillary dermis. Melanin creates the pigment of our skin and lives within our skin cells. When melanin is overproduced, the skin exhibits hyperpigmentation or spots. VI Peels focus on lifting and exfoliating those skin cells to allow our body to produce new cells that are healthier and less pigmented. The process of exfoliation also smooths the surface of our skin creating softer smoother texture.

Before your peel, stop using prescription strength Retinols and Tretinoins for one week. Expect sheet peeling during the seven-day downtime. Avoid makeup and strenuous exercise to prevent irritation and inflammation. To support your skin's recovery, you will receive an at-home kit containing recommended skincare products for the peeling period. Your esthetician will also provide detailed take-home instructions to assist with the healing process.

Following a VI Peel treatment, you can expect to experience some flaking of the skin starting around day 2, with peeling typically occurring between days 3 to 5. By day 6, the peeling process usually begins to ease off, and by day 7, most patients find that the peeling has ceased altogether. This reveals the rejuvenated, fresh, and glowing skin underneath, allowing you to showcase your radiant complexion with confidence.
