If you’ve been struggling with acne, pigmentation, or early signs of aging, you may have heard about chemical peels as an option, but not all peels are created equal. At Northstar Dermatology, we proudly offer VI Peel, a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel that delivers real results with minimal downtime.
What Is a VI Peel?
VI Peel is a powerful, yet gentle chemical peel designed to target multiple skin concerns. It combines medical-grade ingredients like TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.
What sets VI Peel apart is its blend of performance and comfort; it’s virtually painless, requires minimal downtime, and is safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick I–VI. It’s even been specifically formulated with skin of color in mind, making it a go-to option for patients who haven’t had success with other peels.
What Can VI Peel Treat?
Our dermatologists recommend VI Peel for a range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne and acne scarring
- Melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage and uneven tone
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Rough or dull skin texture
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The process takes 15–20 minutes, and while the treatment is virtually painless, some patients may experience a mild tingling sensation. After the peel is applied, patients go home with a take-home kit that includes post-treatment instructions, gentle cleanser, recovery cream, SPF, and specific towelettes to enhance results.
Visible peeling typically starts around Day 3 and continues through Day 7, although results—like clearer, brighter, smoother skin can often be seen after just one treatment.
Why Choose VI Peel at Northstar Dermatology?
At Northstar Dermatology, your peel will be selected and overseen by a board-certified dermatologist based on your skin condition and goals. Our team will guide you before, during, and after treatment to ensure a safe and effective experience.
