What is a VI Peel?

The Vitality Institute created the VI Peel, a revolutionary medium-depth chemical peel. The Institute’s researchers created six distinct remedies that address particular dermatological issues. With the VI peel, instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, professional estheticians can analyze your skin’s needs and then apply the optimal solution to help you obtain the best results possible.

Acids used in traditional chemical peels penetrate the skin and remove dead cells. Their chemicals are nontoxic yet abrasive, resulting in visible skin peeling and prolonged recuperation periods.

VI peels penetrate the epidermis, or the skin’s middle layer. They also exfoliate the skin and restore its radiance by removing dead and damaged cells. A VI Peel triggers a protein reaction, which causes your body to increase its synthesis of naturally occurring substances that promote healthy skin growth.

The VI Peel treatment can address wrinkles and fine lines, skin pigmentation, keratosis pilaris, acne, and acne scarring. Thanks to its multifunctionality, lack of invasiveness, and convenience of use, providers have welcomed this therapy with open arms.

VI Peel Blends Comparison

There are six distinct VI Peel mixtures available: TCA, phenol, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and tretinoin and Hydroquinone. All of the peels break down damaged skin cells while stimulating regeneration. All are safe and effective, but each addresses a distinct dermatological issue.

VI Peel Precision Plus

The chemicals in the VI Peel Precision Plus are the same as in the other VI peels, but with a 25% higher concentration. The designers also included hydroquinone and kojic acid to assist with regeneration. The added ingredients also help prevent discolouration as your skin recovers.

The VI Precision Plus chemical peel is very helpful for people who have persistent dark and discolored patches—commonly called hyperpigmentation—because of its specific composition.

When deciding between the VI Peel and the Precision Plus, it’s a good idea to discuss your treatment objectives with your practitioner. A precise assessment of your sun damage and the severity of your discolouration is crucial for selecting the formulation that will most effectively restore the balance and vitality of your skin.
The VI Plus Peel is most likely the best solution for persons who have sun damage, melasma, UV-induced pigmentation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

VI Peel Original

The VI Peel Original is the VI Peel’s standard formulation. It is suitable for all skin types and has several advantages. The Original Peel delivers quick results and a healthy glow while being gentle on the skin.

Individuals in their twenties and thirties who are concerned about the appearance of early indications of aging can try the peel for its capacity to tighten the skin, smooth its texture, and restore its shine.

The VI Original is most likely the ideal place to start for those considering their first peel. Based on your preliminary results, you and your practitioner can assess your reaction to this procedure and then choose the best peel for future treatments.

VI Peel Advanced

This VI Peel Advanced is a more potent alternative to the treatment’s previous formulations, making it especially helpful for noticeable aging symptoms in those over the age of 40. Its revitalizing composition stimulates the body’s healing response to treat deeper wrinkles, and it catalyzes more effective inflammatory responses than the VI Original.

The VI Advanced is also more effective at smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The peel restores suppleness and brightness to your skin by increasing collagen synthesis, which naturally diminishes as you age. Because the peeling process reveals your reinforced skin, the results with VI Advanced are smooth and organic-looking.

VI Peel Purify

The VI Peel Purify was developed by researchers to treat aggressive and chronic acne. While it performs the same duties as traditional chemical peels, the VI Purify goes a step further by targeting the underlying reasons of acne outbreaks.

The treatment cleanses your pores efficiently by eliminating dead skin cells and excess oil that trap impurities. Furthermore, the Purify Peel targets the p. acnes bacterium, which causes skin blemishes and outbreaks.

The VI Peel Purify is used to treat adult acne, excess oil, acne scars, and acne with skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation. If you have persistent acne that has not responded well to conventional topical treatments, the VI Peel Purify is an excellent choice.

VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus

Adults who have uneven pigmentation and acne with scarring can address both issues with the VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus. The combo treatment eliminates dead skin cells and oil from pores, preventing outbreaks.

Simultaneously, the Precision Plus component prevents the generation of melanin. This suppression diminishes the appearance and development of acne scars and skin pigmentation caused by acne healing.

Above all, this treatment results in softer, more luminous skin. Adults suffering from acne, excess oil, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation should choose the VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus.

VI Peel for Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a very prevalent disorder that develops as you get older. It happens when damaged skin cells overproduce melanin, the substance that gives your skin its color. It is also known as sun spots, liver spots, or age spots. Overexposure to the sun, age, genetic predisposition, and/or environmental variables can all cause this phenomenon.

Hyperpigmentation appears on your skin as black, gray, brown, or red spots or patches. VI Peels efficiently address hyperpigmentation by eliminating the damaged cells producing excess pigment and reducing melanin development in the new cells that replace them.

Following the peeling process, the new skin will have little to no discoloration, a more uniform tone, and improved pigmentation.

VI Peel for Melasma

Melasma is a benign skin disorder characterized by the appearance of brown or gray-brown spots on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. It is mainly caused by hormonal changes, although it can also be caused by pregnancy.

The phenol in the VI Peel, which makes up around 10% of the blend, is very good at reducing the appearance of black spots. The substances permeate the skin, causing discolored patches to flake away in the days after the peel.

The eradication of the spots may be permanent, though maintenance peels with the same or other mixes may be required to maintain your skin’s new appearance.

VI Peel Peeling After Treatment

The VI Peel peeling procedure is the most important part of your treatment. Simply removing the damaged skin is insufficient. It must be properly shed in order for the rejuvenating glow to shine through.

Following a VI Peel, the most common inquiry from clients is, “When does the peeling begin?” The process usually begins on the third day following your treatment. Before the dead and damaged cells may be expelled, the formula must penetrate the skin and break them down.

The treatment is virtually painless, with most patients feeling only a slight tingling or burning as the chemicals work to eliminate harmful cells beneath the skin. As long as you maintain your post-care regimen and protect your skin from the sun, the peeling will last for seven days.

Every VI Peel formulation contains chemicals that promote skin development. As a consequence, the peel is rather subtle. You’ll be able to go to work, school, and social events without feeling self-conscious about flaky skin or obvious redness.

VI Peel Healing Process

The two phases of a VI Peel are the removal of dead skin, which exfoliates the surface, and the healing process, which rejuvenates the skin to restore its vibrancy and gloss. The VI Peel’s rapid turnaround and brief downtime are two of its most significant advantages.

VI Peel Recovery

Despite its capacity to penetrate deeper into the skin than other peels, VI Peel’s unique composition makes its application painless and its post-treatment soreness minimal. During your early recuperation, the most important thing to remember is to avoid doing anything that could cause the peel to wash away.

Excessive perspiration from activity or heat should be avoided, and you should avoid washing your face for at least several hours after your treatment.

VI Peel Timeline

When compared to standard chemical peels, the peeling with a VI Peel is relatively moderate. The dead skin usually peels off in a gentle peel that starts on the third day and lasts until the seventh.

The peeling is usually so subtle that it can be concealed with moisturizer, reducing your downtime even further. Your peeling even may be undetectable to some individuals.

However, depending on your treatment objectives and the formula you select, your peeling may be more pronounced.

VI Peel Healing Process

Your skin will seem moderately tanned, yellow, or red immediately after this treatment. It will then tighten between days one and two. There will be no outward signs of having had the procedure. Initially, pigmented regions may darken. On day three, you will start peeling.

Peeling normally begins around the lips and spreads throughout the face over the course of four days. Your regenerated skin will be visible by the end of day seven.

VI Peel Recovery Time

Your recovery will be dictated by your body’s inflammatory response to the VI Peel and the collagen formation that occurs. Four days after you finish peeling, your final results will be noticeable. But before the final results appear, your skin’s PH level will need to be rebalanced.

Your restored skin will gleam with youth. Hyperpigmented regions will be rendered more muted, if not completely returned to their original pigmentation. There will also be a noticeable improvement in the tone and texture of your skin.

VI Peel Aftercare

Boosting the impact of your VI Peeling necessitates a thorough aftercare regimen. Your provider will give you guidelines based on the type of peel you underwent and the type of skin you have. Deviating from these aftercare guidelines may reduce the peel’s effectiveness and/or cause redness, irritation, and/or burning.

VI Peel Recovery Time

Avoiding sun exposure is the most crucial component of VI Peel maintenance. Due to the chemicals in the VI Peel, your skin will be more susceptible to UV rays after the procedure. Furthermore, removing the outer layer of dead skin cells exposes you to greater UV damage.

VI Peel Post-Care

You should not apply anything to your skin soon after applying the peel. You’ll need to wash the peel away with a gentle cleanser and water four to six hours after your treatment. In general, you’ll be able to treat your skin regularly, but make sure to avoid scratching, rubbing, and picking at your face.

Your provider will offer you a Post-Peel Protectant which you should use two to four times each day. In addition, for the four days when you’re peeling, use moisturizer generously. During the first seven days of shedding and peeling, you must avoid direct sunlight. The Vitality Institute suggests using an SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning.

VI Peel Aftercare Kit

Your therapist will instruct you on how to utilize an aftercare package, which will contain post-peel towelettes and post-treatment repair cream. These solutions are designed to maximize cell removal and the rejuvenating effects of the peel in order to shorten your recuperation time.

Neglecting the aftercare package might cause your peeling time to be extended and your results to be compromised.

VI Peel Directions

Following your provider’s guidelines is essential for a good peel. It is also essential to stop your usual skin care routine and follow the aftercare instructions you are given. Certain topical solutions’ alcohol levels or chemical compositions may harm your skin, halt the exfoliation process, and hinder you from efficiently shedding.

Because their compositions are both deep-reaching and delicate, VI Peels offer the quickest recovery time and the easiest aftercare regimen of any chemical peel. You should have no post-treatment issues as long as you follow your provider’s instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does VI Peel take?

The in-office treatment, which includes cleansing your skin and applying the product, takes around 20 to 30 minutes. You can resume your usual routine after leaving the office as long as you avoid sun exposure and sweat and keep your face dry.

How long do you peel after a VI Peel?

Peeling occurs on the third day following treatment and lasts until the end of the seventh day. Individuals who receive more powerful solutions, such as VI Peel Precision, may be susceptible to a secondary peel beginning on day seven.

How long do VI Peel results last?

How long your benefits endure will be determined by your type of skin, the level of your skin damage, the formulation of the VI Peel, and your overall health. Following your aftercare recommendations and then continuing a proper skincare routine will allow you to prolong your effects.

In general, VI Peels can be used every four weeks until your desired results are obtained. To preserve their results, most people undergo three peels every year.

What do the VI Peel towelettes do?

The active components in the post-peel towelettes fight acne, smooth the skin, and encourage rejuvenation. They also improve exfoliation and aid in the removal of dead skin cells.

Using the towelettes ensures that you peel rapidly and lose as much skin as possible. Neglecting the towelettes can jeopardize your results and/or extend your peeling time, potentially costing you your desired glow.
