Sunday Glow-Up Blog: The Truth About the VI Peel

Sundays are for self-care, Netflix binges, and maybe a face mask or two. But if your skin needs more than a sheet mask can deliver, let’s talk about one of my favorite treatments at The Skincare Studio—the VI Peel.

Spoiler: this isn’t your grandma’s chemical peel.

🌟 What Is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to tackle multiple skin issues at once. It’s like the multitasker of skincare. Think of it as a "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" reset button for your skin.

It works by gently exfoliating the top layers of skin while stimulating collagen production underneath. The result? A smoother, brighter, more even complexion that screams “I woke up like this.”

💡 Why People Love It

Here’s what makes it a Sunday favorite:

Fades dark spots & acne scars (bye hyperpigmentation 👋)
Smooths fine lines & wrinkles without downtime like lasers
Shrinks pores for that filtered-skin look in real life
Calms active acne (yup, even stubborn breakouts)
Brightens overall tone so you can finally ditch the heavy foundation

🕒 The Famous “Peel” Timeline

Here’s what you can expect after getting a VI Peel:

Day 1–2: You’ll feel fine—skin might look slightly red or tan.
Day 3–5: The peeling begins! (Think snake shedding its skin 🐍 …but prettier.)
Day 6–7: Major glow-up reveal—fresh, baby-soft skin underneath.

Pro tip: Don’t pick at the flakes! Let the peel do its thing. Moisturizer is your BFF.

🎉 The Fun Part: The Peel Reveal

Yes, you’ll peel. Yes, it can be satisfying (don’t lie, we all love a good peel-off mask moment). But the best part is the transformation. Patients often tell us they look in the mirror after a week and see brighter, clearer, younger-looking skin.

👩‍⚕️ Who’s It For?

The VI Peel is safe for all skin tones (a huge win in the world of chemical peels). Whether you’re battling acne, early signs of aging, or just want an overall glow, this treatment is for you.
