FAQ
What does a VI Peel do?
The Vi peel is a specially-formulated facial peel that uses a proprietary blend of acids, which are designed to cause your skin to peel. After you have this procedure done and your skin peels, it reveals clearer, smoother, and younger-looking skin underneath.
What is VI Peel?
First, the “Vi” in a Vi peel stands for Vitality Institute. This means that you can expect it to be specially formulated to be safe and gentle to your skin, yet also effective. The Vi peel also contains a unique blend of acids, including trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, vitamin C, and phenol.
Who should get a Vi peel?
You may want to consider getting a Vi peel if you have any of the following skin conditions:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scarring
Acne
Hyperpigmentation due to sun damage or melasma
Rosacea
Redness
Large pores
Keratosis pilaris (or KP, also known as the bumps on your skin that have a pockmarked appearance like chicken skin)
Many other skin conditions can also be successfully treated by a Vi peel. If you want to know if you’re a good candidate, just ask.
What to expect during VI peel?
First, we take a thorough health history to ensure it’s the best and safest treatment for you. Most people respond fairly well to the Vi peel, although the fairer your skin, the more you may react after the fact. This is still considered normal, but it’s something you may want to consider when scheduling it.
Your esthetician cleanses your face with a gentle cleanser. After that, they apply a light coating of the acid compound to your skin for only a few minutes.
Then, they rinse off your face and instruct you to be extremely vigilant about using sunscreen. Vi peel recommends using their sunscreen product, and we do as well to ensure optimal results.
What to expect after VI Peel?
After you have the peel applied to your skin, at first, you wait. Then, your skin begins to peel about 3 days after the procedure is done.
This looks just like the after-effects when you’ve gotten sunburned in the past. As mentioned above, people with fairer skin will peel more heavily, so it may look like you used a fake tanning product.
It’s considered to be a minimally-invasive procedure, but you may want to try to work from home for a few days if possible. The results aren’t permanent, so you may need to schedule an appointment for another peel whenever your skin starts to show new signs of the condition you’re treating.

Is microinfusion facial pain free?
Microinfusion facials a fine touch delivers low doses of injectable product such as botulinum toxin, exosomes, or hyaluronic acid filler at a consistent depth and is almost pain-free. This is a major advantage over the conventional syringe manual injection approach for certain sensitive areas, preventing overdosing or getting the needles too deep into the skin.
What is Monopolar Radiofrequency?
Monopolar radiofrequency (MRF) is a non-surgical treatment that can tighten and contour the skin. It can be used to treat mild to moderate facial skin laxity, and may also be effective for body skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and stretch marks. MRF is a good option for people who want to tighten their skin but don't want to have surgery or experience downtime.
How does Monopolar Radiofrequency work?
MRF uses an electrical current that passes through a monopolar electrode in the handpiece, then through the patient, and finally to a grounding pad. The current generates heat in the tissue due to the tissue's resistance to the movement of electrons
