About VI Peel

WHAT IT IS

The VI Peel is a chemical peel treatment that uses a blend of potent active ingredients, including:

  • Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

  • Phenol

  • Salicylic acid

  • Vitamin C

  • Tretinoin

This blend works by exfoliating the top skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production, and revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath. VI Peels are known for being virtually painless and requiring minimal downtime

DIFFERENT TYPES OF VI PEEL

The Vitality Institute offers multiple formulations tailored to unique skin needs:

  • VI Peel Original: For early signs of aging, sensitive skin, and rough texture.

  • VI Peel Advanced: For mature skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.

  • VI Peel Precision Plus: For melasma, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

  • VI Peel Purify: For active acne, oily skin, and acne-related discoloration.

  • VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus: For acne with scarring and pigmentation.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Cleanse: Skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils and residue.

  2. Application: Two layers of VI Peel solution are applied.

  3. Frosting: Skin may turn white temporarily, known as “frosting.”

  4. Rinse: After 4–6 hours, the peel is gently rinsed off at home.

  5. Peeling Phase: Skin begins to peel on day 3, continuing for 5–7 days.
