VI Peel is a medium-strength, medical-grade chemical peel that helps to minimize signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma and uneven skin texture, dullness and tone. VI Peel also targets acne and acne scarring and helps minimize pore size.

Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine. Stick with a mild, non-exfoliating skincare routine to avoid over-drying or irritating the skin before the peel.

Arrive with Clean Skin. Make sure your face is free from makeup, lotions, oils, and sunscreen. Clean skin ensures the peel can fully penetrate and be effective.

Consult About Medications. If you are using any acne treatments, retinoids, or other prescription skincare, inform your provider. You may be advised to discontinue these products for several days leading up to your treatment.

Shave if Needed. If you plan to have a peel on areas like the chin or upper lip, it may be helpful to shave the area 24 hours before the treatment but avoid waxing or plucking.

No Sun Exposure or Tanning. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanners for at least 1-2 weeks before your treatment. Suntanned or recently tanned skin is more sensitive and can increase the risk of irritation.

Stop Using Active Skincare Ingredients. Discontinue retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating products at least 3-5 days before the peel to avoid over-exfoliating or irritating the skin.

No Chemical Peels or Other Exfoliating Treatments. Avoid other facial treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, for 2 weeks before your VI Peel to allow the skin to heal and avoid excessive exfoliation.

Avoid Waxing or Threading. Avoid hair removal methods such as waxing or threading 1 week before the treatment to prevent skin irritation.

Limit Alcohol & Caffeine. Reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before the treatment to help minimize any risk of increased sensitivity or redness.
