Get answers to common questions about VI Peel.

Most clients experience peeling and redness for about 3–7 days. Social downtime is usually minimal but visible peeling may last up to a week. Plan accordingly and avoid social events for several days if concerned.

VI Peel is formulated for many skin types, including darker tones, when administered by trained professionals. A consultation and test may be recommended to minimize pigmentation risk. Follow pre- and post-care to ensure safe, balanced results.

Many patients see significant improvement after a single VI Peel, but some conditions benefit from a series (2–4 sessions) spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan based on concerns and skin type during your consultation.

Avoid retinoids, glycolic acids, and aggressive exfoliation for at least one week before treatment. Discontinue active topical treatments as advised, and arrive with clean skin. Your aesthetician will review medications and medical history to ensure safe treatment.

Initial brightening and smoother texture are often noticeable within 7–14 days as peeling resolves. Continued collagen stimulation and improvement in tone, texture, and scarring can develop over several weeks to months after treatment.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling; these typically resolve within a week. Rare risks include prolonged hyperpigmentation or irritation, especially without proper aftercare. Disclose medications and pregnancy status to avoid complications and ensure safe treatment.
