VI Peel in Philly

What Is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a next-generation, medium-depth chemical peel that works below the surface to resurface skin tone, texture, and clarity. It’s formulated to improve concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, pores, and uneven texture — all while promoting collagen production for smoother, firmer, more luminous skin.

Unlike traditional single-acid peels, the VI Peel uses a synergistic blend of multiple acids and antioxidants to safely exfoliate, renew, and restore balance to the skin. Designed for all skin tones, it’s one of the most inclusive and effective chemical peels available today.

What Makes VI Peel Different?

The VI Peel creates a gentle but powerful chemical reaction in the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate cell turnover and collagen renewal.

What happens beneath the surface:

  • Exfoliates and resurfaces dull, damaged outer layers
  • Improves tone by fading dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and acne scars
  • Stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother texture
  • Targets acne and congestion by eliminating acne-causing bacteria
  • Delivers rejuvenating ingredients deeper into the skin for lasting brightness

Each VI Peel formulation includes a numbing component, making it remarkably comfortablecompared to other medium-depth peels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Targeted Skin Correction in Philadelphia

What VI Peels Treat

At Ari Blanc Medical Spa in Old City, Philadelphia, VI Peel is one of our most versatile medium-depth chemical peels. It’s designed to address multiple skin concerns at once — making it ideal for clients who feel like they’re dealing with more than just “one issue.”

If you’ve been searching for a chemical peel for acne in Philadelphia, treatment for melasma, or a solution for uneven skin tone and texture, this is where VI Peel shines.

VI Peels Can Help Improve:

Acne (Active Breakouts + Congestion)
Reduces inflammation, clears clogged pores, and helps regulate oil production.
Dull, Tired-Looking Skin
Restores brightness and helps skin reflect light more evenly.
Melasma & Hyperpigmentation
Targets stubborn pigment and uneven tone with formulas specifically designed for discoloration.
Fine Lines & Early Signs of Aging
Stimulates cellular turnover and collagen support for smoother-looking skin.
Post-Acne Marks & Scarring
Fades dark spots (PIH) and gradually improves shallow textural scarring.
Enlarged Pores & Rough Texture
Refines surface irregularities and improves overall skin clarity.
Sun Damage & Dark Spots
Improves blotchiness and visible UV damage for a more even complexion.

Whether you’re navigating stubborn acne, persistent pigmentation, early signs of aging, or skin that just doesn’t look as clear as it once did, VI Peel offers a strategic reset. Instead of chasing one concern at a time, this treatment works holistically to improve tone, texture, and overall skin clarity in a controlled, medically guided way.

At Ari Blanc Medical Spa, we customize every VI Peel based on your specific skin patterns and long-term goals — so your results feel balanced, intentional, and worth it.

The VI Peel Experience

What to Expect During Your VI Peel Appointment

Your VI Peel in Philadelphia appointment begins with a personalized skin consultation to assess acne activity, pigmentation patterns, texture, and your overall goals. We’ll select the appropriate VI Peel formulation based on what your skin actually needs — whether that’s acne correction, melasma management, or tone refinement.

Once your skin is prepped, the peel solution is applied in layers, and the full visit takes about 30 minutes. You’ll leave with a take-home kit and clear instructions to guide you through the peeling process over the next several days.

Below, you’ll find guidance on preparation, your peeling timeline, and how to maintain and enhance your results.

Treatment Essentials

For best results, schedule your VI Peel at least 3–4 weeks before any major event to allow peeling to fully resolve and your glow to develop. In the days leading up to treatment, we’ll guide you on temporarily pausing retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other active ingredients to prepare your skin properly.

After treatment, peeling typically begins around day two or three and lasts several days. During this time, avoid picking or manually exfoliating and pause workouts, heat exposure, and harsh skincare. Gentle products and daily SPF are essential.

Personalized pre- and post-care instructions — along with your take-home kit — are always reviewed during your visit to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.

Enhancing & Maintaining Results

To optimize and extend results:

  • A series of VI Peels (typically 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart) builds cumulative correction for acne, melasma, texture, and pigment
  • MOXI® or BBL HEROic may be layered strategically for deeper pigment or tone correction
  • Hydrafacials between peel sessions maintain hydration, supports barrier function, and keeps skin balanced while corrective work is underway
  • Daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable for protecting results — especially when treating melasma or sun damage
  • Medical-grade skincare supports clarity, enhances cellular turnover, and helps prevent recurrence of discoloration

At Ari Blanc Medical Spa in Philadelphia, VI Peel is part of a larger skin strategy — personalized, paced correctly, and built around long-term skin health.

Results & Timeline

Most clients begin seeing visible improvement within the first week, with continued refinement over the following month.

Day 1 (Treatment Day)

Your skin may appear slightly bronzed, tight, or mildly pink. Most clients leave looking completely presentable — no immediate dramatic peeling.

Day 2–3

Peeling typically begins around the mouth and chin first, then may extend outward. This stage varies from light flaking to more visible sheet peeling depending on your skin condition and peel strength.

Day 4–6

Active peeling phase. Skin may feel dry or tight. This is the intentional resurfacing window — allow it to shed naturally.

Day 7+

Peeling resolves. Fresh, clearer skin is revealed. Tone often appears brighter and more even immediately after the shedding phase.

Weeks 2–4

Collagen stimulation and pigment correction continue beneath the surface. Skin gradually looks smoother, more refined, and balanced. Acne activity often continues to calm during this period.

When You’ll See the Biggest Improvements:

  • Acne & congestion: improvement may begin after the first peel, with clearer skin building over a series

  • Pigmentation & melasma: gradual fading over multiple treatments

  • Fine lines & texture: progressive smoothing as collagen remodeling develops

For acne, melasma, or deeper discoloration, a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended. More advanced concerns may require additional sessions.

Results are cumulative. Each peel builds on the last, creating stronger correction over time.

Text Ari Blanc

Is VI Peel good for acne?

Yes. VI Peel is an excellent treatment for active acne and congested pores. It helps reduce inflammation, eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and improve post-acne marks. Many clients searching for “acne treatment in Philadelphia” choose VI Peel as part of a corrective series.

How much peeling should I expect after a VI Peel?

Peeling typically begins around days 2–3 and lasts about 3–5 days. Most clients experience peeling around the mouth and chin first.

Some peel lightly, others more visibly — both are normal. The level of peeling depends on your skin condition and the formulation used.

Can VI Peel help with melasma or dark spots?

Yes. VI Peel has specific formulations designed to target melasma, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Because melasma is hormonally driven, maintenance and proper homecare (especially SPF) are essential for long-term control.

How many VI Peels do I need?

While some clients see improvement after one peel, a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for acne, melasma, or deeper pigmentation concerns. Results are cumulative.

When will I see results from VI Peel?

You’ll notice brighter, clearer skin once peeling resolves (around day 7). Texture and pigment improvements continue to develop over the next several weeks as collagen production increases.

Is there downtime after a VI Peel?

There is visible peeling, but most clients continue normal daily activities. We recommend scheduling your VI Peel at least 3–4 weeks before a major event.

Is VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. VI Peel is safe for a wide range of skin tones, including melanated skin, when performed by experienced providers. Proper formulation selection is key.

Does a VI Peel hurt?

Most clients describe mild tingling during application. The peel includes a built-in numbing component to improve comfort, and the treatment is completed in about 30 minutes.

What’s the difference between VI Peel and laser treatments like MOXI or BBL?

VI Peel resurfaces skin through controlled chemical exfoliation. MOXI and BBL use light energy to target pigment and texture at different depths.

During your consultation in our Philadelphia office, we’ll determine which treatment — or combination — best fits your goals.

How often should I get a VI Peel?

For correction, treatments are typically spaced 4 weeks apart. For maintenance, many clients schedule 2–3 peels per year depending on their skin goals and sun exposure.

Can I get a VI Peel year-round?

Yes, treatment timing depends more on lifestyle and sun exposure than season. With proper sun care, VI Peel can be performed any time of year.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

VI Peel is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We’ll review your medical history during consultation to ensure safety.

Can I combine VI Peel with other treatments?

Yes. VI Peel pairs well with Hydrafacial, medical-grade skincare, and select laser treatments like MOXI or BBL HEROic when planned strategically.
