VI Peel® in Union, KY
How VI Peel® Resurfaces Skin, Improves Uneven Tone, & Reduces Dark Spots
Sun exposure, acne, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process can leave skin with uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, rough texture, and fine lines. For patients seeking a VI Peel® in Union, KY, Elite Aesthetics offers this medical-grade chemical peel as a targeted skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve multiple visible signs of skin damage with minimal downtime. The treatment uses a blend of active ingredients to support exfoliation and cellular turnover while helping reveal a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.
At Elite Aesthetics, your VI Peel® treatment is selected according to your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. Whether you want to address dark spots, post-acne discoloration, uneven texture, or early signs of aging, your provider can determine whether VI Peel® is appropriate for your skin and recommend the right treatment approach.
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.
Unlike an over-the-counter peel pad, the VI Peel® is a physician-grade product that can only be applied by a trained provider, and it comes in multiple formulations. Which one you receive is a clinical decision made at your consultation, not a menu choice.

What to Expect During VI Peel® Treatment
At Elite Aesthetics in Union, KY, your VI Peel® experience is designed to be comfortable, efficient, and fully supported from start to finish.
- Consultation: Your provider will perform a comprehensive skin assessment, reviewing your skin type, concerns, medical history, and any medications or topical products you are currently using. This evaluation determines the appropriate VI Peel® formulation and confirms that VI Peel® treatment is appropriate for your needs.
- Treatment: The VI Peel® solution is applied directly to clean, dry skin in a layered process. Application often brings a mild tingling or warming sensation for most patients. The treatment itself generally takes about 30 to 45 minutes, followed by several hours with the solution left on the skin before rinsing at home.
- Peeling Phase: Visible peeling generally begins around day two or three and continues for several days. This is a normal and expected part of the skin renewal process. Your provider will supply you with the VI Peel® post-treatment kit to support your skin throughout this phase.
- Aftercare: Following your peel, your provider will guide you through a clear set of post-care instructions, including sun avoidance, gentle cleansing, and the use of provided aftercare products. Follow-up appointments may be arranged to assess results and determine whether a series of treatments is appropriate for your long-term goals.

FAQs
How many VI Peel® treatments will I need?
For many, one VI Peel® treatment is enough to see real change, though tougher concerns such as melasma or acne scars often respond better to a series of 2 to 3 peels, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Guidance from your provider will follow a skin assessment tailored to you.
Is the VI Peel® painful?
Most patients describe the VI Peel® as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A brief tingling or warming sensation is common during application, and most patients tolerate the treatment well with no anesthesia required.
How long does peeling last after a VI Peel® treatment?
Peeling commonly begins on day 2 or 3 and typically clears within 5 to 7 days. The intensity of peeling varies by individual skin type and the specific VI Peel® formulation used.
Can the VI Peel® treat melasma?
Yes. The VI Peel® offers a targeted melasma peel option specifically formulated to address this persistent pigmentation condition. Improvement is typically progressive, and your provider may recommend combining a series of treatments with a maintenance skincare regimen to achieve lasting results.
Is the VI Peel® safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. The VI Peel® is clinically proven safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper complexions that may be more vulnerable to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with other peel formulations. This makes it a preferred anti-aging chemical peel and hyperpigmentation treatment option for a wide range of patients.
When can I expect to see results from my VI Peel®?
Initial results become visible within seven to ten days as the peeling phase resolves and fresh skin emerges. Continued improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin quality develop over the following four to six weeks as collagen remodeling progresses.
