Chemical Peel

Chemical Peel


Don’t let the term “chemical peel” scare you: we’re not talking about a snake shedding its skin or Samantha the day of Carrie’s book launch from Sex and the City. Peels have come a long way since then! Our peels can be used the day of a special event for a pre-event glow, in a series of peels for a more progressive approach to rejuvenation OR as a part of our trademarked 1228 protocol.  


Chemical exfoliation is a safe and effective way to rapidly exfoliate your skin to reveal healthy, glowing skin and encourage new collagen and a smoother, brighter complexion. 


Our skin naturally exfoliates every 30 days until our 30s when it slows down. This is the reason that there is a day in our 30s when we wake up and notice our skin looks dull, blotchy, and our lines are starting to show. This is an indicator to start chemical exfoliation to get you back on that monthly schedule. Monthly chemical peels will literally melt the years away. 


Get ready for fewer brown spots, refined pores, tighter, brighter, and firmer skin! Regular treatments will transform your skin back to the more youthful version of YOU. 


What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are an effective solution to common skin issues including pigmentation, acne, scars, and fine lines. What is sometimes referred to as “chemexfoliation” has been used for hundreds of years for both clinical and aesthetic purposes. But what makes VI Peel the best choice for chemexfoliation?


VI Peel’s version of a chemical peel offers you a safer alternative to mechanical or physical exfoliation. Our peels also can address multiple skin issues simultaneously, from texture, to pigment, to acne, all in one in-office visit.


If you are someone who is hesitant to try medical aesthetics procedures (Hi, Mom!), our peels are a great place to start. Get ready for fewer brown spots, refined pores, tighter, brighter, and firmer skin! Regular treatments will transform your skin back to the more youthful version of YOU.

Not all chemical peels are created equal.

Chemical Peels are classified based on how deeply they penetrate the skin layers and include Superficial, Medium-Depth and Deep Peels. The deeper the penetration the greater the overall exfoliation and cellular regeneration. The depth of the peel is determined by several factors that include acid type(s), percent concentration of the acid(s), the pH of the solution, as well as the time on the skin.


There are many superficial peels on the market that, as the name suggests, only address surface issues. Deep peels are available, but downtime exists and can be significant. For true correction, VI Peel offers six medium-depth peel formulations that make the most impact, with the least amount (if any) of downtime.

How does a VI Peel work?

VI “Medium-Depth” Peels penetrate through the Dermal-Epidermal Junction to the papillary dermis as shown in this graphic.


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.

Just the beginning for what VI Peel can do!

 The 1228 Protocol alternates these two procedures to increase cell turnover.  This can be done for 4, 6, or 12 months.  By creating faster cell turnover, we create better skin.  Your skin is your scaffolding.  By doing these procedures in a timely manner, you will need less neurotoxin, less filler and less procedures because youthful skin doesn’t need as much of these.  Call to make an appointment today and get ready to fall in love with yourself again!
