If you’re seeking a proven, science-backed approach to achieving smoother texture, clearer skin, and a radiant complexion, the VI Peel has likely caught your attention. This advanced chemical peel addresses a range of skin concerns—from acne and discoloration to fine lines and uneven texture. While a single VI Peel can deliver noticeable improvements, a series of three treatments offers the most comprehensive and long-lasting results. Let’s explore why committing to a series of three VI Peels is the key to unlocking your skin’s best glow.
What is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel, safe for all skin types and tones, is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity. Unlike harsher peels of the past, this modern formulation uses a blend of ingredients like TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), salicylic acid, phenol, vitamin C, and retinoic acid to target multiple skin concerns — all with minimal downtime and no discomfort.
Whether you’re fighting fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, or rough texture, the VI Peel dives deep to:
- Exfoliate dead skin cells
- Stimulate collagen production
- Clear congested pores
- Brighten dull complexions
Why One VI Peel is Great — But Three is Even Better
A single VI Peel will absolutely give you a boost. Most clients notice softer, more radiant skin within 7 days. However, for those targeting deeper issues like acne, fine lines, or uneven texture, one peel simply isn’t enough.
Here’s why three peels are the sweet spot:
- Cumulative Results: The real magic happens with repeated treatments. Each peel builds on the last, progressively removing damaged skin layers and promoting regeneration.
- Improved Texture: Skin becomes noticeably smoother, especially around problem areas like the forehead, chin, and cheeks.
- Clearer Skin: Three treatments can dramatically reduce acne breakouts and help fade hyperpigmentation.
- Brighter Glow: A series of peels brings out a radiant, healthy glow that’s hard to miss.
Think of it like working out — you’ll feel good after one session, but consistency is where true transformation happens.
Timing Your Treatments: What to Expect
To get the most from your VI Peel series, we recommend spacing your treatments 4–6 weeks apart. This timing allows your skin to peel, heal, and regenerate properly between sessions.
A typical 3-peel schedule looks like this:
- Peel #1: Kickstarts exfoliation, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
- Peel #2: Targets deeper skin concerns like acne and fine lines.
- Peel #3: Seals the deal with collagen stimulation and a refined finish.
By the end of your third treatment, you’ll notice a significant improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall glow. Peak skin regeneration will occur over the following weeks.
Aftercare Tips for a Smooth Recovery
Each VI Peel comes with its own aftercare kit and detailed instructions, but here are a few essential tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid touching or picking your skin while it peels. Pro tip: Use small scissors, such as eyebrow scissors, to trim the skin instead of peeling it.
- Moisturize with the provided post-peel protectant if you’re feeling dry.
- Stay out of the sun and use the provided SPF 50+ daily.
- Avoid active skincare products (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) until fully healed.
Most clients begin peeling around day 3 and finish by day 7. Don’t worry — the flaking is part of the process and means the peel is working! Each person’s peeling experience is a little different, and some may peel for more or fewer days, depending on the condition of the skin. If this is your first VI Peel, it’s also normal to peel for a longer period. There are many reasons why you may not see the peeling. Even if you can’t see something with the naked eye, the VI Peel is still working for you and exfoliating at the cellular level to brighten and improve your skin’s appearance.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
After a full treatment series, you’ll notice:
- Reduced acne and inflammation
- Smoother skin texture
- More even tone
- Fewer dark spots and discoloration
- A noticeably glowing complexion
And if you’re someone who wears makeup, you’ll love how much smoother it applies and how little you’ll feel like you need it.
