VI Peel vs Traditional Chemical Peels: What Sets It Apart

Woman receiving anti-aging facial chemical peel with retinol mask at beauty salon, concept of skin rejuvenation and wellness care. If dullness, acne scars, or uneven tone keep your skin from glowing, you’re not alone. Many people turn to chemical peels for smoother, brighter complexions—but not all peels are created equal. The VI Peel stands out for its ability to renew the skin with minimal downtime and impressive results. Understanding what makes it different can help you choose the best path toward healthier, more radiant skin.

At BioHealth Aesthetics & Wellness in Jupiter, FL, Drs. Ilona and Paul Fotek specialize in advanced cosmetic and regenerative treatments. Both have completed post-graduate education at the University of Michigan and advanced training through the International Academy of Facial Aesthetics. Their expertise in medical aesthetics allows them to create individualized treatment plans that combine science and artistry. 

The Science Behind the VI Peel

The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel combining trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. This blend promotes exfoliation while stimulating new collagen production. According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, chemical peels can improve acne, fine lines, and pigmentation irregularities by removing damaged outer layers of skin. 

Unlike older peels that could cause harsh reactions, the VI Peel works gently yet powerfully on all skin tones. It penetrates deeply to encourage cellular renewal without the irritation often associated with traditional formulas.

Comparing VI Peel and Traditional Chemical Peels

While both treatments renew the skin, their approach and comfort level differ. The VI Peel was developed to deliver visible improvement with less peeling and discomfort. Here’s how it stands apart:

  • Ingredients and Formulation: Traditional peels often use a single acid, like glycolic or lactic, while the VI Peel combines multiple active ingredients for broader results.
  • Downtime: Traditional peels can require up to two weeks of recovery. The VI Peel typically involves mild flaking for 3–5 days, allowing you to resume daily life quickly.
  • Treatment Areas: The VI Peel can be safely used on the face, neck, chest, and even the hands, offering versatility for full-skin rejuvenation.
  • Comfort Level: Patients report a mild tingling or warmth rather than the intense stinging sometimes experienced with older peels.
  • Inclusivity: The VI Peel is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, expanding access to those who previously couldn’t undergo certain peels due to pigmentation risk.

Each of these features contributes to why patients prefer the VI Peel for smoother, more even-toned skin without significant downtime.
