Before Vi Peel, the best results were obtained with deep, painful peels and involved a lot of downtime. With Vi Peel, you will experience minimal discomfort, but see dramatic visible results in just days with little downtime!

A single Vi Peel will achieve significant repair and add a healthy glow to the skin. It is a true, restorative, and painless repair of damaged skin including sun damage and acne. Best of all, it is a true aging preventive for younger skin with no visible damage. A series is recommended for best results.

Like everything else in life, human skin needs maintenance. The Vi Peel’s wonderful results will last as long as skin care is maintained and sun exposure is limited.

We believe in skin care that we should treat our skin with the same care that we treat our teeth. Regular visits to a medical professional coupled with daily maintenance allow us to enjoy what life has to offer, in moderation, without the fear of damaging our skin, the same way we may eat a little chocolate and drink coffee between visits to our dentist!

All skin types can enjoy the benefits of the peel. Does it burn? Not really. You will feel a slight stinging sensation for a few seconds which subsides completely almost immediately. The peel is applied topically, numbing of the skin takes place after the first pass. Some may feel more comfortable using a fan or cold air breeze.

You should begin to experience peeling on day three and this usually continues for a day or two.

The skin will look slightly tan to red immediately after the peel. On days one and two the skin will feel slightly tighter with no visible signs of having had a peel other than looking slightly tan, as if one had just returned from a relaxing weekend at a resort. Any pigmented areas might appear slightly darker, which is a good sign. Usually on day three, one begins to peel. The first signs of peeling usually begin around the mouth area and continue for a day or two. With the use of the Vi Derm™ moisturizer, one can go about their usual daily routine. By day six, the peeling is complete and the results are dramatic!

There are no restrictions. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the peel.

It tackles skin problems at the cellular level rather than just burning skin off. Thanks to the concerted actions of its many acids and vitamins, it will help erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink enlarged pores and build collagen and elastin which tighten skin. It is extremely effective in practically eliminating hyper pigmentation including melasma, the most difficult pigmentation issue to address. The Vi Peel also provides excellent results for those with acne.

The peel may be repeated as often as every four weeks, if necessary, for skin with hyper pigmentation or acne scarring. Our recommendation for average skin would be three to four times a year to prevent damage and the underlying aging of the skin. The aesthetician will evaluate the skin damage, your goals and expectations, and make an appropriate recommendation for ongoing skin care.

While the long term goal is to eliminate the need to use any makeup, it may be worn at any time after the peel solution has dried. Makeup should not be applied on the days that the skin is peeling, just moisturizer. Makeup can then be resumed at any time after the skin peels.

Of course! The Vi Peel is incredibly effective in removing sunspots from the neck, hands, and chest and eliminating the wrinkles associated with sun damage.

Sun exposure should be limited and adequate protection with good sunscreen should be used. As part of the Vi Derm™ Skin Care System, sunscreen is provided along with a moisturizer. However, the Vi Peel was created to be practical. The only days where exposure to the sun should be seriously avoided are days three and four, when the skin is peeling, to avoid uneven exposure. After that, one can enjoy moderate sun exposure, continuing regular skin care maintenance.

Dr. Kalil originally formulated the Vi Peel for his 15-year-old daughter, an acne sufferer. The peel is excellent for both adult and adolescent acne. Results are quick and very impressive. Combined with a daily skin regimen, almost all acne cases can be managed. Does the Vi Peel help with precancerous cells? Yes, the Vi Peel, like many other peels, helps to remove precancerous cells. Of course, a patient with a history of skin cancer should always see their dermatologist or surgeon on a regular basis.
