What to Expect Before, During, and After Your VI Peel Treatment
Thinking about getting a VI Peel but not quite sure what to expect? You’re not alone. Whether you’re targeting acne, fine lines, sun damage, or hyperpigmentation, this gentle-yet-powerful chemical peel has become a favorite for delivering real results with minimal downtime. Let’s walk you through the entire VI Peel journey—so you can feel confident before, during, and after your treatment.
Before Your VI Peel: How to Prep Your Skin
Proper prep can help maximize your results:
Avoid exfoliating products (like retinols, AHAs, or scrubs) for at least 3–5 days prior.
Stay out of the sun to minimize sensitivity.
Keep skin clean and makeup-free on the day of your appointment.
Consult with your provider about your skin goals so they can tailor your peel accordingly.
Bonus tip: Hydrated skin always heals better—drink plenty of water in the days leading up!
During the Treatment: What It Feels Like
The application process is quick and comfortable:
Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply the VI Peel solution in layers.
You may feel a slight tingling or warm sensation—this typically fades within a few minutes.
The peel is left on your skin, and you’ll head home with it still active (no need to rinse right away).
You’ll receive aftercare products and instructions to use over the next 7 days.
Treatment time? Usually under 30 minutes—perfect for your lunch break.
After the Peel: The Peeling Process & Recovery Timeline
Here’s what to expect post-peel:
Days 1–2: Your skin might look slightly red or tight.
Days 3–5: Visible peeling usually begins—especially around the mouth and cheeks. Don’t pick or pull!
Days 6–7: Peeling slows down and your fresh, radiant skin begins to shine through.
When to Expect Results
While you may notice smoother skin within a week, full benefits develop over time:
Week 1: Brighter tone and improved texture.
Weeks 2–4: Continued improvement in acne, pigmentation, and fine lines.
Ongoing: Optimal results often require a series of treatments, spaced every 4–6 weeks depending on your skin concern.
Your glow is just getting started!
