The full treatment takes 45–60 minutes.

Discomfort is minimal. Some patients report a mild tingling sensation during VI Peel application. The peel also contains a mild numbing agent called phenol, helping reduce sensitivity and making the neurotoxin injections more comfortable.

There’s no social downtime, but expect visible peeling from Days 3–7 as your skin sheds and renews.

It’s best to avoid exercise for 3-4 days after your peel. Excessive sweating can interfere with healing and increase the risk of skin irritation or uneven results.

One session delivers visible results, but we typically recommend a series of 3 VI Peels—one of which can be your ToxBooster—for optimal improvement. For best results, schedule VI Peels every 4–6 weeks and Botox or Dysport every 3–4 months.

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7 days post-peel, as your skin will be more sensitive. If you must be outside, wear a wide-brimmed hat and apply the SPF 50+ sunscreen included in your aftercare kit to help prevent irritation and hyperpigmentation.

Yes. VI Peel was originally formulated to safely treat melanin-rich skin when laser treatments weren’t a viable option. It’s effective for all skin types and tones, helping to target discoloration, texture, and signs of aging without compromising safety.

You should avoid treatment if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, sunburned, have open wounds, or have active skin infections. Be sure to inform your practitioner if you have a history of cold sores or allergies.
