Have you heard of VI Peels before? Curious whether they can treat your skin concerns and issues? The short answer is….YES! VI Peels are gamechangers! For a much more in-depth answer, keep reading!  

If you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance, consider a VI Peel! Why? A VI Peel effectively improves so many common concerns we notice about ourselves, we hear our friends talk about, and what many of my clients come to me to help with. Skin issues like rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, under-eye crepiness, and hyperpigmentation are many of these, but VI Peels work to improve even more of our concerns than those! Bring on a flawless complexion!

Before we dive into the amazing benefits of the award-winning VI Peel, I want to share the overall process of getting this type of chemical peel so you can better understand what your experience will be like once you schedule a VI Peel with Luminosity!

STEP 1: First, before an aesthetic treatment, your clinician will assess your skin and provide a consultation on how to best meet your skin goals and treat your skin concerns. For my first-time clients, I always offer free skincare consultations so my clients know I am offering my best, professional assessment regardless of whether they choose to receive treatment or services at Luminosity.

STEP 2: If a VI Peel is recommended and you decide to move forward with treatment, the prep is to completely clean the area to be treated. I’ll touch on this later, but in addition to your face, a VI Peel can be applied to any part of your skin on your body. I’ll clear your skin of any dirt, debris, skincare, or makeup to properly prepare your skin for the next step.

STEP 3: Next, the chemical peel is applied. Don’t let the word “chemical” deter you from getting this treatment. The solution is a gel-like lotion that is soothing to the skin when applied. It does consist of a chemical, such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid, to effectively treat your skin, but the treatment is a comfortable experience from beginning to end. 

STEP 4: This is your time to rest and let the VI Peel work its magic! Your skin will begin to soak in the peel, and it will begin to work immediately. Depending on a couple of factors, mainly your skin and the chemical used, the peel will remain on your skin for a specific amount of time, typically four hours for a VI Peel. In the meantime, you can just relax and enjoy some rare peace and quiet as your skin’s health starts improving!

STEP 5: Once your VI Peel’s work is complete (you may have noticed some heat from the chemicals working), the solution will be washed off. This is usually done in the comfort of your home.

Following your treatment, you will experience skin flaking for a couple of weeks afterward as the top layer of dead skin cells begins to fall off. You’ll also most likely notice some redness and slight swelling, which is completely normal. For your skin to heal properly, there are several things to do as well as avoid to enjoy the biggest benefits of your VI Peel. Some key things to remember are to consistently use post-treatment products, keep your skin clean and clear of debris, and stay out of the sun as much as possible during the healing process.

VI Peels treat many different skin conditions and concerns, and clinicians often will recommend a treatment series. If you are looking for a VI Peel to help with maintaining overall skin health, you can schedule this peel about four times per year.

Now, let’s get into the various benefits of a VI Peel! There are several different types of peels the Vitality Institute created decades ago that offer solutions to skin concerns most of us face on one level or another, not only as we age, but also as other factors affect our skin. The leading clinical skincare brand has revolutionized the aesthetics industry with the development of this customizable treatment. Let’s look at how VI Peels can reveal a radiant, new you!

VI Peels are special for many reasons. They are professional grade, uniquely formulated, and widely accepted as a premier treatment due to their effectiveness in dramatically improving wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and more! They also are safe for ALL skin tones and types. The best part might be the fact that patients begin to see results in as little as seven days! Read on to see which VI Peel might best benefit your naturally beautiful skin.  

SKIN CONCERNS: FINE LINES, WRINKLES, AND OTHER SIGNS OF AGING

If aging skin is your biggest concern, then you will see the most significant results from the VI Peel Advanced. This chemical peel addresses all signs of aging on various levels, including small, fine lines to deeper wrinkles. It stimulates the production of collagen, which creates new, healthy cells that create a rejuvenated glow. It’s a skin-tightening, lines-softening treatment that significantly improves the appearance of skin in patients in their 40s and up, although anyone experiencing aging skin can benefit from this chemical peel.

SKIN CONCERNS: ROUGH TEXTURE, SENSITIVE SKIN, EARLY SIGNS OF AGING

The best VI Peel to address some or all these concerns is the VI Peel Original. First, I’ll also mention this is a great option for a first-time chemical peel patient. This peel smooths textured skin, treats early aging concerns, tightens the skin, and is gentle for those with more sensitive skin. It offers exceptional all-around illumination and skin reset.

SKIN CONCERNS: HYPERPIGMENTATION, SUN SPOTS, MELASMA

The VI Peel Precision Plus is the peel best suited for your needs. This is a great peel for those with pigmentation issues because it brightens skin, resurfaces the skin, and promotes rapid cell turnover. It also suppresses the production of melanin, which is the darker pigment than your regular skin that is typically caused by sun exposure. Fun fact: In 2022, this chemical peel won Cosmopolitan’s Holy Grail Beauty Award for Best Chemical Peel.

SKIN CONCERNS: ACNE, BREAKOUT PRONE SKIN, OIL PRONE SKIN, ACNE SCARRING

VI offers two highly effective chemical peels that target acne and related concerns: VI Peel Purify and VI Peel Purifywith Precision Plus.

VI Peel Purify is perfect for balancing skin, unclogging pores, and eliminating bacteria. It offers intense cleansing to treat active acne and prevent future breakouts. Purify gets rid of unhealthy skin, excessive oil, and debris to set your skin up for a healthier, happier environment. This is also a great peel for teenagers!

VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus boasts many of the same benefits as Purify, but its added benefit is for those with acne scarring. In addition to what Purify addresses, Precision Plus provides additional brightness and works to effectively reduce the appearance of acne scarring as well. 

SKIN CONCERN: BODY SKIN ISSUES

I hinted at this earlier, but VI also has a chemical peel that treats the entire body, and it’s appropriately called the VI Peel Body. We often think of peels as beneficial to our faces only, but all 20 square feet of our skin need attention, especially when we have specific issues that concern us. This treatment is safe for the skin on any area of our bodies, and it treats several issues including acne, scarring, stretch marks, sagging, loose skin, pigmentation, and fine lines. It works to stimulate collagen production to increase cellular turnover. The results are glowing, healthy skin all over!

SKIN CONCERNS: COMBO OF MULTIPLE SKIN ISSUES 

The Vitality Institute created this one-two-punch treatment aimed to complement any VI Peel specifically for patients with a variety of skin concerns. It’s called the Toxbooster Treatment, and it is amazing.

In addition to one of the VI Peel treatments highlighted above that specifically targets one or more of your top skin health concerns, the Toxbooster treatment essentially enhances the benefits of your chemical peel. It consists of a Neurotoxin injectable, and the combination of the two creates an ideal pairing for patients. You will get this treatment the same day as your VI Peel to completely customize your experience and maximum results. 

I would love the opportunity to meet with you to provide a skincare consultation to address your skin health goals and concerns.
