VI PEELS
Skinmedica Chemical Peels
The VI Peel Original is a gentle yet powerful treatment that refreshes, rejuvenates, and resets the skin for fast, visible results. Ideal for first-time users, it delivers multiple benefits including firmer-looking skin, a smoother texture, and a renewed, radiant glow.
For people of all ages and skin types.
VI Peel Advanced is a next-level treatment with a specialized blend of ingredients that penetrate deeper to combat signs of aging, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance collagen production. By boosting cell turnover, it helps firm and revitalize the skin for a more youthful appearance.
For more mature clients (ages 40+)
The VI Peel Purify is a multifaceted approach to treating the various causes and signs of acne, including clogged pores, dead skin cells, excessive oiliness, and all forms of imperfections. It eliminates acne-causing bacteria, clears out deep impurities, and balances the skin for fewer breakouts and a smoother, clearer complexion.
For younger clients with acne prone skin.
VI Peel Precision Plus is a medium-depth, powerful peel promotes quick cell turnover for more even and radiant skin tone while suppressing melanogenesis (the creation of melanin) at its source. Results from resurfacing activity include brighter, rejuvenated skin in just seven days.
For people of all ages and skin types.
VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus is a dual-action treatment that targets both acne and the pigmentation or scarring it leaves behind. By clearing clogged pores and addressing excess melanin production, it helps reduce breakouts, fade dark spots, and reveal a clearer, more radiant complexion.
For people of all ages with acne prone skin.
Maximize your glow by pairing a VI Peel with your Neurotoxin Injection—clinically shown to boost wrinkle reduction by 36%! This powerhouse duo doesn’t just smooth fine lines; it also lifts dark spots, evens skin tone, improves elasticity, and enhances overall skin texture.
