Q: Is it safe for darker skin tones?

What to Expect: The Process

1. In-Office Treatment (30 Minutes)

Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply the VI Peel^® chemical peel solution in layers. Thanks to a built-in numbing agent, you’ll only feel a brief tingling for the first minute. You will leave the office with the peel on your skin; it will look like a light, healthy tan.

2. The First 48 Hours

You'll wash the peel off at home after 4 hours. Your skin may feel slightly tight or appear flushed. You will use your VI Peel^® Take-Home Kit (included with every treatment) to nourish the skin and prepare it for the shedding phase.

3. The Peeling Phase (Days 3–5)

Visible peeling typically begins around the mouth and nose on Day 3. By Day 5, the peeling moves toward the perimeter of the face. Important: Never pick or pull the skin; let it shed naturally to avoid scarring.

4. The Reveal (Day 7)

By the end of the week, the peeling is finished, revealing fresh, glowing, and more even-toned skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a VI Peel^® hurt?

Most patients rate the discomfort at a 2/10. The formula includes a numbing agent that activates upon contact, making it the most comfortable medium-depth peel available at our chemical peel clinic in Redmond, WA.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. The VI Peel^® is specifically formulated to be safe and effective for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, meaning it won’t cause the “rebound hyperpigmentation” often seen with other peels.

Do I need to stop my skincare before the VI Peel^® facial?

Yes. You should stop using active ingredients such as Retin-A (tretinoin), Retinol, AHAs (glycolic/lactic acid), and BHAs (salicylic acid) 5–7 days before your appointment. Also, avoid waxing or laser treatments in the target area for 1 week prior.

When can I restart my regular skincare routine?

You can typically resume your normal skincare routine—including retinols and acids—once the peeling process is completely finished and your skin no longer feels sensitive, usually around Day 8 to 10.

What is the downtime after a VI Peel^®?

The “social downtime” is about 2–4 days (Days 3–6), when visible peeling is at its peak. You can still go about your day, but you will want to avoid heavy exercise and direct sun during this time.

When will I see the final results?

A “glow” is visible by Day 7. However, the true results for pigment and texture continue to improve over the following 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases.

How many treatments do I need?

While one peel provides a significant refresh, a series of 3 VI Peel^® treatments in Redmond, WA, spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for corrective results (like deep melasma or acne scarring).

What is included in my Take-Home Kit?

Every treatment includes a kit with a gentle cleanser, post-peel towelettes (to boost results), a recovery repair cream, and a broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
