Are you frustrated with stubborn skin issues that regular treatments can’t seem to fix? Many people struggle with uneven skin tone, fine lines, acne scars, or sun damage that affects their confidence daily.
Beauty Vault in Los Angeles offers specialized VI Peel treatments that can transform your skin by improving texture, evening out pigmentation, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Our board-certified team has helped countless clients achieve remarkable skin renewal with this effective treatment.
What Makes VI Peel Different
VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines powerful ingredients to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
This specialized treatment works through both the epidermis and uppermost dermal layers to promote smoother, brighter skin growth.
Key Ingredients in VI Peel Formula
The power of VI Peel comes from its proprietary blend of ingredients:
- Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, and salicylic acid
- Vitamin C for collagen production
- Tretinoin for cell turnover
This unique combination works together to target various skin issues. The phenol component delivers deep exfoliation and toning benefits, while vitamin C helps boost collagen production. Salicylic acid provides both exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties, making it especially effective for acne-prone skin.
Treatment Areas and Skin Concerns
VI Peel’s versatility makes it stand out from traditional chemical peels. The treatment safely addresses skin concerns on several areas, including:
- Face and neck
- Chest and décolleté
- Hands and arms
- Back and shoulders
- Eyelids
The treatment effectively targets many skin conditions, such as UV-induced pigmentation, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You’ll see remarkable results in improved acne scarring, reduced fine lines, and better skin texture. Unlike many other chemical peels, VI Peel works well on all skin types and tones.
The VI Peel Experience at Beauty Vault
Pre-Treatment Skin Assessment
Our board-certified practitioners at Beauty Vault start with a detailed skin evaluation to determine if VI Peel matches your needs.
The consultation allows us to review your medical history, current medications, and skincare goals. We examine your skin type and condition to create a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Prior to your treatment, we’ll provide guidance on preparing your skin, including when to stop using retinoids and exfoliating products.
During Your VI Peel Session
The treatment takes about 30 minutes and follows several precise steps:
- Your practitioner cleanses your skin to remove impurities
- The VI Peel solution is applied in two distinct phases:
- First Phase: The solution penetrates the surface skin cells
- Second Phase: The formula reaches deeper into the dermis
You might feel a mild tingling sensation during application, but most patients find it comfortable. The solution dries quickly on your skin, and you can resume daily activities right after your appointment.
Post-Treatment Care
Your VI Peel treatment success depends on following specific aftercare guidelines:
- Wait 4-6 hours before washing your face
- Apply the post-peel towelettes from your take-home kit
- Use a gentle cleanser and cool water
- Apply the provided repair cream to soothe skin
- Stay out of direct sunlight and use broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily
Your skin starts peeling around day three and continues for about six days. Our Beauty Vault team remains available to answer questions or concerns throughout your recovery process.
Results You Can Expect
First 48 Hours After Treatment
Your skin might look slightly flushed and feel like a mild sunburn right after the VI Peel application.
The treated area usually turns darker within the first day and shows some redness and swelling.
Your skin adjusts to the treatment during this time and feels tight as the peel starts working.
Week 1-2 Transformation
Days 2 through 7 bring the most visible changes:
- First signs of flaking on day 2
- More significant peeling starts around day 3
- Top layer of skin naturally sheds between days 3-7
- Most patients finish peeling by day 6
- New, glowing skin becomes visible by day 7
Long-Term Skin Benefits
Your skin continues improving after the peeling phase ends. VI Peel results typically last 3 to 4 months and provide these lasting benefits:
- Better skin texture and tone clarity
- Less visible pigmentation issues
- More collagen production for firmer skin
- Reduced appearance of fine lines
Beauty Vault suggests maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal results. This schedule helps create ongoing improvements in your skin’s appearance. Your unique skin concerns and care routine will influence how your skin responds to the VI Peel.
Preparing for Your VI Peel
Good preparation helps you get the most out of your VI Peel treatment. Our team at Beauty Vault will guide you through specific pre-treatment steps:
One Week Before Treatment:
- Stop using retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and vitamin C products
- Stay away from waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal
- Stop all exfoliating products or procedures
We recommend focusing on gentle cleansing and moisturizing during this time. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF every day, even when it’s cloudy, to protect your skin from UV damage. You should also avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before your appointment.
When you come for your VI Peel treatment, arrive with:
- A clean face without makeup, oils, and lotions
- A full list of your current medications and supplements
- Details about your recent cosmetic procedures
Plan your VI Peel at least two weeks before any major events to give your skin enough time to complete the peeling process and reveal its refreshed appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I leave the VI Peel solution on my skin?
The VI Peel solution should be left on for 4-6 hours after application. It’s important to follow the specific instructions provided by your Beauty Vault practitioner to ensure optimal results and avoid potential skin irritation.
What can I expect during the days following my VI Peel treatment?
The most noticeable peeling typically occurs between days 3-7 after treatment. You may experience some redness and tightness initially, followed by visible skin shedding. By day 7, most patients see their refreshed, glowing skin.
When can I shower after receiving a VI Peel treatment?
You can shower approximately 4-6 hours after your VI Peel treatment. Use lukewarm water and gentle cleansers to avoid irritating your skin. Always follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your Beauty Vault practitioner.
Is it normal if I don’t see visible peeling after my VI Peel?
While most patients experience visible peeling, it’s not uncommon for some individuals to have minimal or no visible shedding. This doesn’t mean the treatment wasn’t effective. The extent of peeling can vary based on individual skin condition and the depth of the peel.
Can I combine VI Peel with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes, VI Peel can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. It works well with injectables like Botox and dermal fillers, and can be performed the same day as microdermabrasion. However, it’s important to space out certain treatments, such as microneedling or laser procedures, to ensure optimal skin healing and results.
