Different Types of VI Peel for Different Skin Concerns

If there is one chemical peel that you can trust for improving the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin, it probably is VI Peel. This medical-grade peel from Vitality Institute contains a special formulation that can target multiple conditions. There are also different types of VI Peel that are specially formulated for different skin concerns.

Continue reading as we explore this chemical peel and the different types of VI Peel treatments. 

The basics

With VI Peel, a chemical solution is applied to the skin surface, creating micro-damage and causing the outermost layer to peel off. The solution also exfoliates the treated area, while promoting new tissue growth and stimulating collagen production. After the peeling process, you’ll notice healthier, clearer, and more radiant skin. 

VI Peel is a medium-depth peel that is commonly used on the face but can also be applied to other areas of the body. It is also safe to be used on delicate skin around the eyes, which is not the case for certain types of chemical peels. VI Peel, furthermore, is suitable for all skin types with no preconditioning or special skin preparation needed.

What are the different types of VI Peel?

At Cutis, we have four different types of VI Peel. These include the regular VI Peel, VI Peel Purify, VI Peel Precision Plus, and VI Peel Advanced. Read on to find out which one is right for your skin concerns. 

VI Peel

The basic VI Peel contains a synergistic blend of ingredients that can remove the damaged skin layers, as well as stimulate the production of new skin cells. It can help improve your overall skin texture, as well as offer benefits for those with aging skin, acne, and sun damage. 

Benefits:

• Softens lines and wrinkles
• Reduces age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation 
• Smooths away rough skin
• Reduces the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris (tiny bumps on the skin)

VI Peel Purify

If you’re worried about acne and blemish-prone skin, VI Peel Purify may be the right solution for you. It has a unique formula that can fight breakouts by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing comedones, and balancing the skin. It is ideal for active acne, oily skin, and other skin concerns caused by acne symptoms. 

Benefits: 

• Eliminates P. acne bacteria
• Clears pores
• Soothes redness and inflammation

Benefits: 

• Effectively penetrates damaged skin areas
• Brightens areas with discoloration and hyperpigmentation 
• Evens skin tone and texture
• Promotes rapid cell turnover

VI Peel Advanced

This VI Peel is the ideal peel for aging skin 40+ or those with fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. VI Peel Advanced has a deep penetrating power that can combat signs of aging and soften fine lines and wrinkles. It helps enhance collagen stimulation and reduce the appearance of loss of skin elasticity. 

Benefits: 

• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Penetrates more mature skin
• Smooths away rough skin texture
• Restores a more even skin tone

What results to expect with VI Peel

VI Peel is non-invasive and virtually painless. You may feel a slight tingling sensation when the chemical peel solution is applied, but there is no need for topical anesthetics or pain medication. Below are a few other things you can expect:

• Potential side effects include redness, temporary discoloration, and some inflammation. 
• Peeling happens after two to three days and continues for up to six days.
• Unusual skin color changes (brownish, yellowish, and reddish tones) are normal during the peeling process.
• Healthier and more radiant complexion once the peeling is over.
• One treatment can produce dramatic results, but multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your skin concerns.

Take note: You may come across VI Peel kits or recipes online, but never attempt to do the treatment on your own. VI Peel is a medical-grade peel that should only be administered by trained and licensed professionals. Incorrect use may lead to harmful effects and skin damage.
