Reveal Radiance: Why the VI Peel Is the Secret to Glowing Skin
At CORE Aesthetic, we’re all about giving your skin the love it deserves—and one of our favorite ways to do that is with the VI Peel. Whether you’re battling acne scars, sun damage, or just want a smoother, brighter complexion, the VI Peel delivers powerful results without harsh downtime.
This next-level, medical-grade peel is a game-changer in the world of skin rejuvenation, offering safe and effective treatment for all skin types and tones.
The VI Peel is one of the few chemical peels safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones. While many chemical peels pose a higher risk of hyperpigmentation for darker complexions, the VI Peel’s formula was specifically designed to reduce that risk—making it a trusted option for treating conditions like melasma, acne scarring, and sun damage in diverse skin tones.
What Is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that gently removes the top layers of damaged, dead skin to stimulate new cell production and collagen growth. Unlike traditional peels that often cause heavy peeling or irritation, the VI Peel is formulated to be effective yet gentle, making it a popular choice even for first-time peelers.
It uses a unique combination of:
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) – to exfoliate and stimulate collagen
Retinoic Acid – for cellular turnover and fine line reduction
Salicylic Acid – to deeply clean pores and calm acne
Phenol – to smooth texture and reduce pigmentation
Vitamin C – for brightening and antioxidant protection
This synergistic blend helps treat a variety of skin issues while also improving overall radiance and texture.
What Can the VI Peel Treat?
The VI Peel is a versatile solution that addresses multiple skin concerns, including:
Hyperpigmentation & Melasma: Fades dark spots and evens out skin tone.
Acne & Acne Scarring: Clears breakouts and minimizes scarring.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Softens signs of aging by boosting collagen.
Sun Damage: Reverses signs of sun exposure and dullness.
Rough Texture & Enlarged Pores: Smooths the surface of the skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The VI Peel is safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions that are often more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from traditional peels or lasers. It’s also suitable for younger clients battling active acne or older clients targeting age-related skin concerns.

What to Expect: The VI Peel Experience
Here’s what a typical VI Peel journey looks like:
In-office application – The peel is applied in a few short minutes. You’ll leave with the solution on your skin and rinse it off at home after 4–6 hours.
Peeling begins – Around day 2 or 3, light flaking or peeling will begin. This usually lasts 3–4 days.
Post-peel care – You’ll receive a detailed aftercare kit and instructions to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
Glowing skin! – By day 7, most clients notice brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin.
Downtime is minimal—no need to hide out for weeks. You may want to plan your peel about a week ahead of any big events to allow time for the peeling phase to pass.
How Often Should You Get a VI Peel?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 4 peels, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, especially when treating deeper issues like melasma or acne scarring. For maintenance, we often recommend one peel every few months to keep your skin clear, glowing, and youthful.
Fun Fact:
Many clients say their skin looks even better in the weeks following the peel as collagen production ramps up and fresh, new skin continues to surface.
Pair It With…
For even better results, consider combining the VI Peel with:
Microneedling or PRP (after healing)
Medical-grade skincare, like a brightening serum or retinol
LED light therapy for inflammation or acne
Our providers can guide you on what’s safe to combine and when, based on your skin’s needs.
