A youthful complexion doesn’t have to be complicated. At Skin Deep Medical Spa, our VI Peel treatments are designed to tackle the most stubborn skin concerns—whether it’s acne that just won’t quit, sun damage, or those fine lines that seem to appear out of nowhere. If you’re looking for a way to refresh your skin without invasive procedures or weeks of downtime, a VI Peel might be exactly what you need. We’re dedicated to helping you feel confident in your skin, and a VI Peel does just that by peeling away imperfections and revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. It’s not magic, but it’s pretty close.
The VI PEEL is a professional medical grade chemical peel treatment designed to achieve dramatic results. We offer a variety of VI PEELs to address various concerns such as acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, melasma and sun damage. Treatments are highly effective and virtually painless with minimal downtime.
How Does VI Peel Work?
VI Peel is more than just your average chemical peel. This medical-grade treatment is designed to penetrate deep into the skin to address damage at its source. While other peels often stop at the surface, VI Peel goes deeper by stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover. The result? A brighter, more even complexion that feels as fresh as it looks.
Each peel is a unique blend of powerful acids, vitamins, and exfoliants that work together to fade discoloration, smooth out wrinkles, and even clear up acne scars. The process is surprisingly gentle, making it a great choice for almost anyone, regardless of skin type.
What Does VI Peel Address?
If your mirror has been highlighting things you’d rather not see—like dark spots, fine lines, or breakouts that seem to linger—VI Peel is designed to address all of that. It’s a great option if you’re dealing with:
By encouraging your skin to shed old, damaged layers, the VI Peel helps restore your complexion to its clearest, healthiest state.
Who is a Good Candidate for VI Peel?
If you’ve been wondering whether VI Peel is right for you, the answer is likely yes. It’s one of the few treatments that works well for most skin types and tones. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn acne, early signs of aging, or lingering sun damage, VI Peel offers a gentle yet effective way to get your skin back on track.
During your consultation at our Highland Park or Glenview locations, we’ll assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Some patients see results after just one peel, while others benefit from a series of treatments spaced out over several weeks.
Each VI PEEL takes only about 30 minutes which allows you to return to normal daily activities immediately.
The exact treatment course will be determined by your skincare professional based upon your individual skin care goals. Some patients receive a series of three to four VI PEELs spaced four weeks apart while other patients do one or two VI PEELs in conjunction with other treatments.
VI Peel Results You Can Expect
One of the best parts about VI Peel is how quickly you’ll start seeing changes. Within a week, most patients notice brighter, clearer skin with fewer blemishes. The texture improves, and that “glow” everyone talks about starts to show through.
For long-standing issues like acne scars or deeper pigmentation, results continue to build over time. After two to four peels, many patients report significant improvements in tone, texture, and clarity. And with each session, the skin becomes healthier and more resilient.
What is the VI Peel Recovery Like?
Peeling is part of the process, but it’s not as dramatic as you might think. Most patients start to notice peeling about 48 hours after treatment, and it typically lasts for 3 to 5 days. You won’t need to hide away during this phase—just keep your skin hydrated and avoid picking at any flaking areas.
A good moisturizer, sunscreen, and gentle skincare routine will keep your skin looking its best as it heals. Once the peeling subsides, you’re left with smoother, more even skin that continues to improve over the following weeks.
