What Is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel designed to penetrate deeper into the skin than traditional superficial peels. Unlike lighter treatments that only address surface concerns, this peel works at the dermal level—where true skin correction begins.
This means it doesn’t just improve how your skin looks—it improves how your skin functions.
How Is the VI Peel Different from Other Chemical Peels?
Most chemical peels on the market are superficial. They exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, offering a temporary glow.
The VI Peel goes further.
Key Differences:
- Targets the root cause of skin concerns, not just symptoms
- Penetrates the dermis for deeper correction
- Self-neutralizing, meaning safer and more controlled
- Minimal discomfort thanks to built-in numbing agents
- Predictable results with a structured peeling timeline
Unlike older peels that could be harsh, painful, or unpredictable, the VI Peel is designed for comfort, safety, and consistency.
What Skin Concerns Can the VI Peel Treat?
At GC Skin Medspa in Sherman Oaks, we use customized VI Peel formulas to address a wide range of concerns:
Common Conditions Treated:
- Melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Acne and acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven tone and texture
The VI Peel is widely recognized as a leader in pigment correction, making it especially effective for melasma—one of the most challenging skin conditions to treat.
What’s Inside the VI Peel?
The power of the VI Peel comes from a synergistic blend of ingredients that work together to transform your skin:
- TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid): Penetrates deeply to stimulate renewal
- Retinoic Acid: Accelerates cell turnover
- Salicylic Acid: Clears pores and reduces acne
- Phenol: Provides a numbing effect for comfort
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Protects and brightens new skin
This combination allows for maximum results with minimal discomfort—a hallmark of modern, luxury skincare treatments.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During Your Appointment
- The peel is applied in-office in under 30 minutes
- You may feel mild tingling, but it is generally well-tolerated
- You leave with the peel on your skin for several hours
After Your Treatment
- Day 1–2: Skin looks glowing and refreshed
- Day 3–5: Peeling begins (this is normal)
- Day 6–7: Skin reveals a smoother, brighter complexion
Peeling is a side effect—not the goal. Even patients who peel less still experience full benefits beneath the surface.
How Many VI Peel Sessions Do You Need?
For optimal results, we recommend:
- 1 peel: A refresh
- 3 peels: A full treatment
- 4–6 peels: For advanced concerns like melasma or acne scarring
Treatments are typically spaced 4 weeks apart to allow proper skin recovery and regeneration.
Is the VI Peel Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes—this is one of the biggest advantages.
The VI Peel is safe for all skin tones, including deeper complexions that may not tolerate traditional peels well.
It’s also safe to perform year-round, even in sunny climates like Sherman Oaks—as long as proper sunscreen is used.
