VI Peel in Carson

Q: What skin concerns can VI Peel help improve?

VI Peel may help improve acne, post-acne discoloration, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and rough skin texture. Different VI Peel formulations address different concerns, so your provider will assess your skin before recommending a treatment.

Q: Is VI Peel good for acne and acne scars?

VI Peel may help improve acne breakouts, post-acne dark spots, and superficial uneven texture. However, deeper or pitted acne scars often require other treatments, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing. Results depend on the type and severity of scarring.

Q: Does VI Peel hurt?

Most clients experience mild tingling, warmth, or stinging while the peel is applied. These sensations often settle, although discomfort varies. Your provider will explain what to expect and monitor your skin’s response during treatment.

Q: When does peeling start after VI Peel, and how long does it last?

Peeling typically begins around day 3 and lasts approximately 3-4 days. Some clients experience noticeable shedding, while others have only mild flaking. Avoid pulling or picking peeling skin to reduce the risk of irritation and discoloration.

Q: Is a VI Peel a chemical peel, and how does it compare to other peels at QD?

Yes, the VI Peel is a chemical peel. It uses a blend of acids applied to the skin to resurface the surface layer, and visible peeling follows over the days afterwards. QD also offers the V Carbon Peel, which is a laser-based treatment rather than an acid peel despite the similar name, and Peel and Glow, which is a gentler option. Your provider will explain which suits your skin and your schedule.

Reveal Clearer, Brighter, and More Youthful Skin

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you could simply peel away imperfections like acne scars, stubborn dark spots, or fine lines? Maybe you’ve spent money on skincare products promising clear skin but saw minimal results. You’re not alone. Thankfully, clear, bright, and youthful skin is more achievable than you might think—and QD Skinnovations in Carson, CA has the perfect solution: the VI Peel.

The VI Peel isn’t your typical chemical peel—it’s a revolutionary, medical-grade treatment uniquely formulated to provide significant skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. It’s safe, effective, and delivers visible improvements for all skin types and ethnicities, making it one of the most popular chemical peels among dermatologists and skincare specialists nationwide.

What Is the VI Peel and How Does It Work?

The VI Peel is an advanced medical-grade chemical peel that combines a unique blend of powerful yet gentle ingredients designed to exfoliate damaged skin and stimulate new collagen production. Unlike traditional chemical peels that can be harsh or require extensive recovery, the VI Peel effectively treats multiple skin concerns while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.

This treatment works by penetrating deep into your skin layers to trigger a natural exfoliation process. Within days of the treatment, your skin begins to shed its outer layers, revealing smoother, clearer, and healthier skin underneath. The VI Peel targets specific skin issues including:

Its specialized blend typically includes ingredients like Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, Vitamin C, and a blend of powerful antioxidants, each working harmoniously to repair your skin from within.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your VI Peel

Before Your VI Peel

At QD Skinnovations, every treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Our skincare experts assess your skin’s condition, discuss your skincare goals, and tailor the VI Peel treatment specifically for you.

During Your Treatment

The VI Peel procedure typically takes around 30 minutes. The peel solution is applied evenly to your face, causing minimal discomfort—often described as a mild tingling or warm sensation that quickly subsides. After application, the peel remains on your skin for several hours, continuing its deep exfoliation process.

After Your Treatment

Within two to three days post-treatment, your skin will start to gently peel, typically lasting 3-5 days. This peeling phase reveals visibly healthier skin underneath. During this period, it’s essential to follow the aftercare guidelines provided by our specialists, including using moisturizer, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from harsh skincare products.
Clients generally see clearer, brighter skin within a week, with continued improvements as collagen production increases.
