How does a VI Peel treatment work?
A VI Peel is an intermediate-depth chemical peel designed to improve skin texture and diminish signs of aging. It utilizes ingredients like trichloroacetic acid, tretinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C in order to encourage cellular turnover and refine skin’s surface layer.
What Does it Feel Like?
A VI Peel is quick and painless. After cleansing, your provider applies two layers of acid solution. You may feel brief tingling or numbness that fades quickly.
How Long Does a VI Peel Last?
Results can last for several months, depending on your lifestyle and skincare routine. Because cell turnover and collagen slow with age, regular maintenance treatments are recommended.
What is the Ideal Timing to Schedule a VI Peel?
Downtime is minimal, though some redness or itching may last a few days. For sensitive skin, consult with your provider. As a guideline, schedule a VI Peel at least three months before a major event.
VI Peel Precision Plus Benefits
Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
The VI Peel reduces fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging, sun damage, or sagging skin. It exfoliates the outer layers while boosting collagen to firm and tighten.
Treating Sun Spots and Discoloration:
The original VI Peel uses TCA and phenol to trigger regeneration and collagen production, effectively treating hyperpigmentation, including melasma and stubborn dark spots.
Phenol for Fading Dark Spots and Uneven Skin Tone:
The Precision Plus VI Peel includes added phenol to fade discoloration, increase cell turnover, and speed removal of pigmented cells for a clearer, more even tone.
Treating Keratosis Pilaris:
The Precision Plus VI Peel also improves keratosis pilaris (“chicken skin”) by smoothing bumps, reducing redness, and calming inflammation on the arms and legs.
Before & After VI Peel
Results from a single VI Peel can be seen after just one session, but it usually takes three to four treatments for optimal results. It’s recommended to do 3-4 VI peels annually as maintenance and for any deeper rejuvenation; however, we can determine exactly how many you require depending on what condition your skin is in, and what you are hoping to improve.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
What Is It
The VI Peel is a chemical peel made with trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, and phenol. It treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and redness.
What to Expect
Your provider applies the exfoliant, starting with thicker areas like the chin and cheeks, then moving to thinner areas around the eyes and mouth. A slight tingling may occur during treatment.
After Care
Peeling and swelling can last up to one week, depending on peel depth. Follow the post-care instructions and use only the products in the VI Peel kit. Avoid makeup until your skin has fully healed.
VI Peel FAQ
What are the ingredients in VI Peel Precision Plus?
-
Retinoic Acid: Inhibits melanin production to even skin tone, brighten complexion, and fade stubborn sun spots and melasma.
-
Salicylic Acid: Cleanses pores, reduces inflammation, and helps with acne scars, surface breakouts, and keratosis pilaris.
-
Phenol: Provides a numbing effect for a more comfortable treatment while targeting hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, sun damage, and age spots.
Does VI Peel treat acne?
The VI Peel can help clear active acne, prevent new breakouts, and reduce acne scars. Some patients may experience temporary purging as blemishes beneath the surface come to light, but this often leads to clearer skin tone and texture.
Before treatment, avoid acne products and retinoids, as they can weaken the skin’s protective barrier.
What are the side effects of Vi Peel?
Common side effects include light peeling for about a week, similar to a mild sunburn. Avoid picking or scraping to prevent irritation. Temporary itching or swelling (including puffy eyelids) may also occur but usually resolves on its own; ice packs can help ease discomfort.
Less common risks include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where skin may darken or lighten after treatment—more likely in darker skin tones. To reduce this risk, avoid exercise, sweating, or raising body temperature for 3–4 days post-peel.
Though rare, scarring can occur, particularly with deep peels or in thin, damaged skin. If itching or irritation persists, consult your provider.
Is a VI Peel safe during pregnancy?
Livio Med Spa does not treat women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How often should you get a VI Peel?
Frequency depends on your skin concerns and goals, but many professionals recommend a VI Peel every 2–4 months for best results. Multiple treatments may be needed to achieve optimal outcomes, as this is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Can I workout after VI Peel?
You can safely resume exercise about 3 days after a VI Peel, but avoid excessive sweating right after treatment as it may interfere with healing. Protect your skin by avoiding sun exposure for at least 1 week and applying SPF 30 sunscreen daily during recovery.
Can you wear makeup after a vi peel?
Do not wear makeup immediately following VI Peel treatments. It is recommended that you wait for four to six days before applying occlusive makeup.
