Acne & Acne Scarring? Why VI Peels Are a Game-Changer

Jul 13

If you’ve struggled with breakouts or been left with frustrating scars long after the acne clears, you know how deeply it can impact your confidence. The good news? VI Peels are changing the game when it comes to treating acne and acne scarring—safely, effectively, and with real results.

At Core Aesthetic, the VI Peel is one of our go-to treatments for clients looking to reset their skin, clear congestion, and fade those stubborn post-acne marks.

**The VI Peel is one of the few chemical peels safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones.** While many chemical peels pose a higher risk of hyperpigmentation for darker complexions, the VI Peel’s formula was specifically designed to reduce that risk—making it a trusted option for treating conditions like melasma, acne scarring, and sun damage in **diverse skin tones**.

What Is a VI Peel?

A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines powerful yet gentle ingredients to exfoliate the skin, boost cell turnover, and improve texture and tone. What makes it special is that it’s effective on active acne, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation—all in one treatment.

It’s safe for all skin types and tones, and it doesn’t require weeks of downtime, making it perfect for busy, breakout-prone skin.

How It Helps with Active Acne

Kills acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores
Reduces oil production, helping to prevent future breakouts
Unclogs congested skin, targeting blackheads and whiteheads
Calms inflammation for clearer, calmer skin after just one treatment

If your skin feels stuck in a cycle of constant breakouts, the VI Peel can help break that pattern and restore balance.

Fading the Scars (Finally!)

Even when acne is under control, it often leaves behind scars, uneven texture, and pigmentation. VI Peel helps by:

Stimulating collagen to smooth pitted or indented scars
Brightening dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Smoothing skin texture for a more even, refined look

With a series of treatments, many clients see dramatic improvements in tone, texture, and overall clarity—no lasers required.

What to Expect

After your peel, you can expect a few days of mild to moderate peeling (usually around days 3–7), revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath. We’ll walk you through aftercare to keep your skin comfortable and protected during the process.

For best results with acne and scarring, we often recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. Each one builds on the last, leading to long-term transformation.

Why Core Aesthetic?

At Core Aesthetic, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. Our providers will assess your skin and customize your VI Peel experience based on your acne type, skin tone, and goals. You’ll feel supported every step of the way—and walk out glowing with confidence.
