VI Peel® in Crestview Hills, KY
How VI Peel® Improves Hyperpigmentation, Acne Scars, & Uneven Skin Texture
What Is a VI Peel® and How Does It Work?
The VI Peel® is a medium-depth chemical peel from VI Aesthetics (formerly Vitality Institute). Its base formula combines TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C, a blend that works through the epidermis and into the upper dermis to lift damaged surface cells and prompt the skin to rebuild.
Two things happen at once. On the surface, controlled exfoliation clears away sun-damaged, pigmented, and congested skin over the following several days. Underneath, the peel signals the skin to increase collagen and elastin production, which is what continues improving firmness and texture for weeks after the peeling itself is finished.

What to Expect During VI Peel® Treatment
At Elite Aesthetics in Crestview Hills, KY, your VI Peel® experience is guided by clinical precision and a genuine commitment to your comfort and results.
- Consultation: Your provider will carry out a thorough evaluation of your skin type, tone, and specific concerns, and will review your medical history and current skincare routine. This assessment ensures that your VI Peel® formulation is appropriately matched to your clinical needs.
- Treatment: The VI Peel® solution is applied to properly cleansed, prepared skin in a layered technique. Patients typically experience mild tingling or warmth during application.
