VI Peels Treatment in Houston, TX
Meet today’s game-changing chemical peel that brightens complexion, erases dullness, and unleashes your most luminous skin.
WHAT IS A VI PEEL?
A VI Peel is a medium-deep chemical peel designed to lift skin pigment and treat sun damage, acne, scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles. Its formula contains a mixture of active ingredients, including:
- Salicylic acid
- Phenol
- Vitamin C
- Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and
- Retinoic acid
By removing the top layer of skin (the epidermis) and the uppermost section of the dermal layer beneath, the VI Peel eliminates dirt, bacteria, and congestion that cause acne, offering more dramatic results than other, milder chemical peels.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The combination of its active ingredients (listed above) provides a more powerful, effective acidic solution than at-home chemical peels.
VI Peels can treat a range of different skin conditions, including:
- Acne and scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age and sunspots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Rosacea
- Enlarged pores
- Oil balancing
- Improve overall skin benefits

IS A VI PEEL RIGHT FOR ME?
The VI Peel is considered safe for all skin tones. It’s an ideal treatment option for anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of minor wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and damaged skin.
As a medium-strength chemical peel, a VI peel will not eliminate advanced signs of aging like deep lines or sagging skin. Instead, it’s an excellent option for patients looking to treat minimal wrinkles and rough skin texture who want to restore their skin’s vitality and glow.
Frequently asked questions
To achieve the best possible results and minimize any downtime, it’s crucial to follow these essential steps before your VI Peel:
Before your treatment, refrain from using active skincare ingredients like prescription retinoids, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, and salicylic acid for at least a week. This precaution ensures that your skin is in its optimal state for the peel.
Avoid any hair removal methods like waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, or laser hair removal for at least a week before your appointment. These techniques can weaken the skin’s protective barrier and potentially lead to irritation.
By diligently adhering to these pre-treatment guidelines, you’ll set the stage for an exceptional VI Peel experience, unveiling stunning results and minimizing any potential discomfort.

After the VI Peel solution has worked its magic and fully penetrated your skin, your provider will ensure its protection by applying sunscreen. Once four hours have passed since the treatment, you can rinse off the solution and even apply makeup until the peeling process begins.
In the days following your treatment, expect some downtime as your skin may temporarily appear darker due to pigmentation rising to the surface. To keep your skin calm and moisturized, opt for gentle, fragrance-free products and resist the temptation to pick at the peeling skin.
For optimal results, we recommend scheduling a follow-up treatment every three months to maintain that refreshed and vibrant glow.
