What is a VI Peel?

A VI Peel is a transformative treatment that can rejuvenate your skin, leaving you with a more youthful and radiant complexion. This medium-depth chemical peel gently exfoliates the top layers of your skin, revealing a smoother, more even tone, and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

How Does It Work?

The VI Peel exfoliates away imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath. But it doesn’t stop there! The special peel goes deeper, stimulating collagen production to plump up your skin and improve its texture over time. It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for a treatment that delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Is a VI Peel Right for Me?

The VI Peel is a fantastic option for anyone looking to boost their skin’s appearance without resorting to more invasive procedures. Whether you’re dealing with uneven skin tone, signs of aging, or pesky acne scars, the VI Peel can deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime—perfect for those with busy schedules who want to look their best without taking too much time out of their day.

Who’s it for? The VI Peel is ideal for anyone in Manasquan who wants to improve their skin tone, texture, and overall health. It’s especially beneficial for concerns like:

Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne and acne scars
Uneven skin texture

If this sounds like you, it might be time to try the VI Peel!

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, hold off on a VI Peel. Due to limited research on their safety, ingredients like TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and salicylic acid aren’t recommended during pregnancy. Always check with your doctor first if you’re unsure.

How Often Should I Get a VI Peel?

The frequency of your treatments depends on your skin’s specific needs and your available budget. Generally, it’s best to wait at least 4-6 weeks between treatments to give your skin time to heal and to see the best results.

What Are The Benefits?

The VI Peel is a versatile treatment that offers many of the same benefits as other light to medium-depth chemical peels. Here’s a closer look at what it can do:

Softens fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical peels, like the VI Peel, break down the top layers of your skin. This process kick-starts your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. These proteins are like the building blocks of firm, smooth skin and when they increase, you’ll notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Remember, while the VI Peel is great for smoothing mild wrinkles, it’s not designed for deep wrinkles or sagging skin.

Lightens sunspots and discoloration

Have you got sun damage or uneven skin tone? The VI Peel can help brighten those areas. One of its star ingredients is phenol, a powerhouse for fading discoloration like freckles, sunspots, or even melasma. If you’re looking for a more even, radiant complexion, this peel might be just what you need.

Improves keratosis pilaris

Ever dealt with those pesky bumps from keratosis pilaris (aka “chicken skin”)? Ingredients like salicylic acid in the VI Peel can help break down the clogged hair follicles that cause these bumps, leaving your skin feeling smoother and more refined.

Tackles acne and acne scars

If you have acne issues the VI Peel might be your new best friend. It’s designed to:

Reduce oil production
Kill acne-causing bacteria
Calm inflammation
Unclog pores by exfoliating the outer skin layer

Salicylic acid, a key ingredient in the peel, is also a top choice for improving acne scars. It helps smooth out the skin’s texture while reducing redness and discoloration.

How To Prepare for a Treatment

To ensure the best possible results from your VI Peel, please follow these pre-treatment instructions:

If you’ve recently used Accutane or isotretinoin, please wait at least a year before your VI Peel.
Avoid hair removal methods like waxing or creams for a week before your treatment.
For three days before your peel, pause any strong skin care products like Retin-A or products containing retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide.
If you’re prone to cold sores, give us a heads-up before your treatment.
If your skin is currently irritated, sunburned, or has any open wounds or sores, please contact us to reschedule your appointment.
VI Peels may not be suitable for you if you have a history of recent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or certain medical conditions like autoimmune diseases, liver conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please consult with our team of New Jersey skin professionals.

What Happens During a Treatment?

It’s a pretty straightforward process! The complete treatment usually takes around 30 minutes and, believe it or not, it’s mostly painless. The VI Peel solution, a special blend of ingredients, works its magic by gently exfoliating the top layer of your skin, revealing a healthier, more radiant complexion underneath.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:

Cleansing – Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, oil, or makeup.
The Peel – The VI Peel solution is applied in two layers. After the first layer, you might feel a minor tingling sensation, but it’s usually tolerable.
The Frosting – Once one of our New Jersey skin professionals applies the second layer, your skin will turn white, known as the “frosting” process.
The Wait – You’ll leave our Manasquan clinic with the solution on your skin. After about 4-6 hours, you can wash it off.
The Peel – In the following days, your skin will start to peel, much like a sunburn.

Aftercare Tips

After about 4-6 hours, it’s time to wash off the VI Peel solution. Use a gentle cleanser and warm water to remove it. You’ll likely notice your skin peeling around 3 days after the treatment.

Here are some of our aftercare tips:

Moisturize your skin often to keep it hydrated and prevent dryness.
Don’t apply creams or lotions until you’ve washed off the peel.
Use the post-peel protectant provided by NJ skin professional 2-4 times daily to soothe and protect your skin.
Steer clear of direct sunlight and always wear sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from further damage.

How Much Does a VI Peel Cost?

A VI Peel typically costs around $314, but you might find prices ranging from $199 to $539, according to RealSelf. Here at Simply.Aesthetics, we offer it for $399.

Risks & Side Effects

The VI Peel is generally well-tolerated, but as with any treatment, side effects can happen. These may include:

Burning or itching
Temporary redness or swelling
Dryness or peeling
Skin discoloration (especially for those with darker skin tones)

If you have dark skin, it’s essential to consult with a professional beforehand to minimize the risk of discoloration. Factors like excessive sun exposure, pregnancy, or estrogen use can also increase the chance of dark spots after a peel.
