What Should I Expect during a VI Peel?
During a VI Peel treatment, you can expect a straightforward, relatively quick procedure that typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. The process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort during the treatment. Once the numbing cream takes effect, a professional will apply the VI Peel solution to your skin. The peel contains a blend of active ingredients, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamin C, designed to exfoliate the skin and promote collagen production. The solution is applied evenly to your face, neck, or other areas as needed, and you may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this time, which is normal.
After the peel is applied, you will likely feel a slight sensation of tightness or heat, but it usually subsides quickly. The treatment is non-invasive, with minimal discomfort, and requires no downtime, although some mild redness and swelling can occur immediately afterward. Depending on your skin type and the specific concerns being addressed, you may be advised to avoid sun exposure and apply a gentle moisturizer for several days following the procedure. The VI Peel promotes skin cell turnover, improving skin tone, texture, and reducing signs of aging, pigmentation, and acne scarring. Results are typically visible within a week, with full improvements occurring after several weeks as the skin continues to renew.
