Is a VI Peel Painful?

The VI Peel is applied topically and typically does not cause pain or discomfort. At most, you may experience mild tingling during the application process, which usually resolves quickly. There is no downtime after your session, but you may be asked to follow a series of aftercare guidelines to ensure the best results.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

While many patients can enjoy marked improvement in their complexion after a single session, our team usually recommends 3 to 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. This is especially true for those struggling with acne scars or more serious hyperpigmentation issues.

How Long Until I See the Results?

The initial peeling process usually takes about 7 days to complete, at which point you will begin to notice a more youthful, radiant glow emerging. Within a few weeks, your skin will look smooth, firm, and revitalized.

Can I Combine a VI Peel with Other Procedures?

Yes, absolutely. It is safe and effective to combine the VI Peel with other surgical and non-surgical treatments to ensure you look and feel your best. During your initial consultation in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, our providers can review your options and determine the best course of action to achieve your goals.

What Are the Risks Associated with a VI Peel?

When administered by credentialed, experienced providers, such as those at the Motykie Medical Spa in Los Angeles, the VI Peel is considered safe and effective for most skin types. Side effects may include mild redness, flaking, or skin irritation. Rarer risks include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or allergic responses.

Introduction to VI Peel

At the Motykie Medical Spa in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, Los Angeles, we strive to incorporate today’s most innovative and progressive treatments to take your skincare results to the next level.

What Is a VI Peel?

A VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel formulated with potent ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, and vitamin C. It is engineered to exfoliate dead skin cells, increase collagen output, and enhance overall skin clarity and brightness. Unlike other more conventional chemical peels, the VI Peel is a gentle option that still delivers notable results. It is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile solution for those in and beyond Los Angeles seeking customized skin rejuvenation.

A VI Peel is suitable for healthy individuals dealing with emerging signs of aging or poor skin tone and texture. It can also benefit those with persistent acne. Our team in Los Angeles will conduct a thorough consultation to ensure a VI Peel is the best choice for achieving your cosmetic goals. In general, the VI Peel is recommended for those with the following concerns:

Melasma
Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation
A dull complexion
Mild skin laxity
Wrinkles and lines

Your VI Peel Journey at MOTYKIE Medspa

What’s the First Step?

If you are in the Beverly Hills, Hollywood, or greater Los Angeles area and considering a VI Peel, your first step is to book a private consultation with our expert aestheticians, who will perform a thorough medical assessment and skin evaluation. During your first visit, we will discuss your concerns and goals and answer all of your questions with precision and authority.

From there, we will craft a personalized treatment plan that is well-suited to your complexion concerns, lifestyle, and comfort levels. Whether you are new to chemical peels or are seeking to maintain a youthful, revitalized glow, we can guide you through every step of the process.

What to Expect on the Day of a VI Peel Treatment

On the day of your appointment, you will be greeted by our friendly team and placed in one of our well-equipped, comfortable treatment rooms. You can expect your session to last around 30 minutes. After thoroughly cleansing your skin, we will apply the specialized VI Peel in layers. For most patients, the treatment journey is painless, with only mild tingling. The peel remains on the skin for several hours and then can be rinsed off at home. Over the next few days, you can expect mild flaking as the outer layer of damaged skin cells gradually sloughs off, revealing a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.

The recovery process for a VI Peel in Los Angeles is seamless and stress-free when you follow all of our aftercare instructions carefully and attend any scheduled follow-up visits. Most patients experience peeling for the first few days, a mechanism that completes by day 7. To prevent irritation and inflammation, avoid harsh skincare products and picking at your skin. Within one week, you will begin to notice a smoother, more even complexion, with enhanced skin texture and tone. To maintain your results over time, consider undergoing a series of sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
