How It Works:
The VI Peel Original combines a blend of potent yet gentle ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and promote cell turnover. The main ingredients include:
1. TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid):
A key ingredient in chemical peels, TCA helps exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. It’s effective in treating sun damage, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
2. Salicylic Acid:
Known for its acne-fighting properties, salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores, helping to clear acne and reduce inflammation. It’s especially beneficial for people with oily or acne-prone skin.
3. Lactic Acid:
This alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) helps to exfoliate the skin’s surface, remove dead skin cells, and hydrate the skin. It’s gentle on the skin and works to smooth texture, improve tone, and reduce pigmentation.
4. Phenol:
A deep exfoliant that helps to renew the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and age spots.
5. Vitamin C:
A deep exfoliant that helps to renew the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and age spots.
6. Retinoic Acid:
Encourages the turnover of skin cells, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Together, these ingredients work to exfoliate dead skin, improve skin texture, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.

What to Expect:
1. Pre-Treatment:
- Before the treatment, you’ll have a consultation with your provider to discuss your skin concerns and ensure that the peel is right for you.
- You may be asked to avoid certain products (like retinoids or exfoliants) a week before the treatment to ensure your skin is prepared for the peel.
2. During the Treatment:
- The actual procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes. Your aesthetician will apply the peel in layers. You may feel a tingling or mild burning sensation as the acids start to work, but it’s usually tolerable.
The peel will be left on the skin for about 4-6 hours, during which time you’re asked to keep it on and not wash your face. You will receive instructions on how to care for your skin during the first 7 days after the peel.
3. After the Peel:
- Immediate Effects: Right after the treatment, you may experience redness and a warm, flushed feeling. This should subside within a few hours.
- Peeling: Over the next 2-4 days, you’ll begin to experience light to moderate peeling, which is normal. The peeling can be more noticeable around areas with more damaged skin, like the forehead, chin, or jawline. You should not pick or pull at the skin, as this can lead to scarring or irritation.
- You’ll be given a post-care kit with soothing products like moisturizers and sunscreen. It’s crucial to use these to protect your skin as it heals.
