VI Peel® & Chemical Peels in Las Vegas

VI Peel® is virtually pain-free. You may experience a slight warming or tingling sensation during application. Phenol, one of the ingredients in the peel, has a mild numbing effect that helps make the treatment more comfortable.

Peeling varies from person to person, but it is typically most noticeable around days 3–5. Some clients experience light flaking, while others may experience more noticeable sheet peeling. Even if you do not peel heavily, the treatment is still working beneath the surface.

VI Peel® has minimal downtime, but visible peeling is typically most noticeable during days 3–5. Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear slightly tan or orange with a glow, and you can generally continue normal daily activities.

Yes. Itching is common, especially on the first night. Use your Post Treatment Repair Cream as directed. An oral antihistamine may be taken if needed. Avoid scratching, picking or pulling at the skin.

Avoid intense workouts for the first 72 hours, as excessive heat and sweating may cause unwanted side effects. Light activities such as walking, Pilates and light weights are acceptable. Once most of the peeling is complete, you can resume your regular workouts.

You will wash your face approximately 4 hours after the peel is applied. Afterward, makeup may be applied before the peeling begins. Once active peeling starts, VI recommends waiting until the peeling process is complete before resuming makeup.

Avoid direct and extreme sun exposure for the first 7 days. Apply SPF 50 every morning and wear a hat when outdoors. Normal activities such as running errands, walking or driving are fine when proper sun protection is used.

The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and goals. Regular VI Peels can support ongoing skin health, while a series of 3 peels may be recommended for corrective treatment. More challenging concerns, such as melasma or scarring, may benefit from a series of 4–6 peels.
