Get answers to common questions about VI Peel (Face) - 1 session ONLY.

Most clients experience mild redness and peeling for 3–7 days; complete cellular turnover occurs over two weeks. Downtime is minimal—avoid sun, heavy exfoliants, and intense exercise initially. Your clinician will provide aftercare instructions to optimize healing and results.

One VI Peel session can noticeably lighten hyperpigmentation and sun spots, though deeper discoloration may need additional treatments. Results improve over several weeks; combined topical regimens and sun protection maximize outcome. We'll assess your concerns during consultation and recommend a personalized plan.

Most clients feel a brief stinging or tingling during application, which typically subsides quickly. We can use cooling and topical anesthetic if needed. The procedure is generally well tolerated and lasting discomfort is uncommon.

Initial exfoliation begins within days, with visible smoothing and brighter tone often apparent after 1–2 weeks. Skin continues to renew over several weeks, with full benefits typically evident by 4–6 weeks. Results vary by skin condition and adherence to aftercare.

Common side effects include redness, peeling, dryness, and temporary sensitivity. Serious complications are rare when performed medically. Inform us of pregnancy, recent isotretinoin use, active infections, or allergies prior to treatment so we can determine safety and the best approach.

Ideal candidates are adults seeking improvement in uneven tone, texture, and fine lines who have not recently tanned or used contraindicated medications. A brief consultation determines suitability, medical history, and expectations to ensure safe, effective single-session treatment or recommend an alternative plan.
