What is a VI Peel and how does it work?

VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C to exfoliate damaged skin layers and stimulate cell renewal. The formula penetrates through the epidermis into the upper dermis, prompting natural exfoliation and revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath. Unlike superficial peels, VI Peel addresses uneven tone, texture issues, and early signs of aging with minimal downtime.

How long is the recovery time after a VI Peel?

VI Peel downtime is minimal compared to deeper chemical peels. Day 1-2: Skin feels tight and may appear slightly red or bronzed. Day 3-5: Visible peeling begins around the mouth and cheeks, spreading outward—skin flakes in sheets or appears dry. Day 6-7: Peeling subsides significantly, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath. Most clients resume work and normal activities immediately, though visible peeling requires some social downtime. Complete healing typically occurs within 7-10 days.

Is VI Peel suitable for all skin types including darker tones?

Yes, VI Peel is specifically formulated to be safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI). The blend of ingredients includes phenol and vitamin C that help address pigmentation without causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when proper aftercare is followed. For darker skin tones, strict sun protection and adherence to the post-peel protocol are essential to minimize any risk of uneven pigmentation.

What skin concerns can VI Peel help improve?

VI Peel helps improve the appearance of sun damage and age spots, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and early wrinkles, acne marks and post-inflammatory discoloration, and dull or lackluster complexion. Different VI Peel formulations target specific concerns: Original for general rejuvenation, Precision Plus for pigmentation and sun damage, Purify for active acne and oily skin, and Purify with Precision Plus for combination concerns.

How many VI Peel treatments are needed to see results?

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin after just one VI Peel, with the glow becoming visible once peeling subsides (around day 7). However, for more significant concerns like deeper sun damage or established texture issues, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart delivers optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 3-4 months help preserve the improvements. Results continue to develop for 4-6 weeks post-treatment as collagen production increases

Can I get a VI Peel if I have active acne?

VI Peel Purify formulation is specifically designed for acne-prone and congested skin. It contains benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that help clear existing breakouts and minimize the appearance of post-acne marks. However, the procedure should not be performed on skin with open lesions, active infections, or cystic acne flares. A consultation helps determine if your skin is ready for the peel or if waiting 1-2 weeks is advisable.

What's the difference between VI Peel and regular chemical peels?

VI Peel is a specific medium-depth peel brand with a proprietary blend of 5+ active ingredients (TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, vitamin C) that work synergistically. Unlike generic TCA peels, VI Peel includes a numbing agent for comfort and is formulated to be gentler than traditional medium-depth peels while delivering comparable results. It requires less downtime than deep phenol peels but provides more significant results than superficial glycolic peels. VI Peel is also safe for all skin types, whereas some traditional peels carry higher risks for darker skin tones.

Reveal Radiant Skin in 7 Days – For Every Tone, Every Concern.

What is VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel from Vitality Institute, blending TCA, salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, vitamin C, and minerals to exfoliate damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen and elastin.

Safe for all skin types, including sensitive areas like eyes, with built-in numbing for comfort. Results show brighter, smoother skin in 7 days, with peeling over 3-5 days.

Helps treat:

Procedure

Applied in layers during a 30-minute session, left on 4-6 hours, then removed at home; minimal downtime.

Face Advantages:

Body Advantages:

Formulated for thicker skin (back/chest) – non-invasive for large areas.

Intimate Areas:

Ideal for post-op or sensitivity without irritation.

Sessions by Goal

For optimal results, 3-6 VI Peel sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are typically recommended, depending on skin concerns like acne, pigmentation, or anti-aging

Frequently Asking Questions:

When do full results appear after VI Peel

Full results from a VI Peel typically appear within 2-4 weeks post-treatment, as collagen production ramps up and new skin fully regenerates after peeling ends around day 7. Initial glow emerges by day 7 with smoother texture, but optimal improvements in tone, fine lines, and pigmentation continue developing through weeks 4-6.

Is VI Peel suitable for sensitive skin types

Yes, VI Peel is suitable for sensitive skin.
Its gentle, multi-acid formula (TCA, salicylic, phenol, retinoic acid, vitamin C) minimizes irritation compared to harsher peels, making it safe for sensitive types with built-in numbing and low PIH risk.

Why It Works for Sensitive Skin

Milder concentrations and soothing antioxidants reduce redness and inflammation.
Effective for reactive skin concerns like acne, rosacea, or texture without excessive downtime.
Always patch test or consult for extremes; ideal for your Beauty Pro NYC clients with diverse needs.

How long does peeling last after VI Peel

Peeling after a VI Peel typically starts around days 3-5 (sometimes day 2 for first-timers) and lasts 3-7 days total, varying by skin type and peel strength—most patients finish by day 7 with flaking like a mild sunburn.

First peels may extend peeling slightly longer (up to 10 days in some cases), but full healing reveals brighter skin; avoid picking to prevent irritation.

What are common side effects and aftercare for VI Peel

VI Peel typically causes mild redness, dryness, tightness, itching (especially night 1), and peeling starting days 3-5, lasting up to 7 days; rare issues include swelling, burning, blistering, or hyperpigmentation (higher risk in darker skin).

Contraindications

Avoid VI Peel if pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to aspirin/salicylates, hydroquinone, or phenol.

What Our Clients Say:

I’m honestly so happy with my plasma pen results. My upper eyelids were starting to feel heavy and crepey, and I wasn’t ready for anything surgical. After the treatment and proper healing time, I can clearly see that my eyelids look tighter and smoother. The skin feels firmer, and my eyes look more open and refreshed without changing my natural look. The healing process required patience (there is some swelling and tiny scabs at first), but it was absolutely worth it. I followed all aftercare instructions carefully, and the improvement is very noticeable. I feel more confident without makeup, and even mascara applies better now because my lids aren’t as droopy. If you’re considering a non-surgical option for mild eyelid laxity, plasma pen is definitely something to look into. For me, it made a real difference.

I went here for a fibroblast procedure around my eyes very happy with the results the work done and the price.

Today I had my first appointment with Beauty Pro NYC for RF Microneedling. Elena was very professional and had so much knowledge. She answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. She's such a nice person. I've had microneedling done in the past but I never received such an amazing treatment as I did today. I'm very impressed. I can't wait for my next treatment. I finally found a place a can trust.

I came to Beauty Pro for Fibroblast therapy for my eyes. I am very happy with the treatment and the service provided by Elena. She explained what I should expect and possible skin reactions, which put me at ease. I have a very sensitive skin so I was concerned. Elena checked on me during the week following the treatment to make sure I was okay and reassured me with her knowledge when I felt anxious about the healing process. The results are visible, the skin is tighter and looks healthier. I will do the treatment again this winter.
