What Is the VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel built on a proprietary blend of active ingredients that work together to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. Unlike many traditional peels that rely on a single acid, this formulation combines several medical-grade ingredients for stronger results with a gentler experience.

Each VI Peel uses a synergistic mix of:

  • Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): Smooths the look of scarring and helps stimulate collagen
  • Retin-A (retinoic acid): Softens fine lines and moderate wrinkles
  • Salicylic acid: Exfoliates the skin and calms inflammation
  • Phenol: Targets deeper lines and creases
  • Vitamin C: A brightening antioxidant that supports a more radiant tone

One of the biggest advantages of the VI Peel is its versatility. The treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that often aren't candidates for stronger peels.

What Does the VI Peel Treat?

The VI Peel addresses a wide range of common skin concerns on the face and body. It is a popular choice for patients who want to refresh their complexion or correct specific issues, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun damage
  • Active acne and acne scarring
  • Uneven skin tone and rough texture
  • Enlarged-looking pores and dullness

The treatment is gentle enough for delicate areas, so Dr. Hazen's team can use it on the face, around the eyes, and on the neck, chest, hands, and back.

Am I a Good Candidate for a VI Peel in New Jersey?

Most adults in good general health who want brighter, smoother, more even skin are candidates for the VI Peel. Because it is safe for all skin types and tones, it suits many patients who can't comfortably have other medium-depth peels.

A VI Peel may be a strong fit if you're bothered by sun damage, pigmentation, early signs of aging, or acne. Patients with active skin infections, certain skin conditions, or those who are pregnant or nursing may need to wait or consider an alternative. The best way to know is through a consultation, where your provider reviews your skin, history, and goals before recommending a treatment plan.

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

Consultation and Cost

Your VI Peel begins with a personalized consultation at Hazen Medical Spa. Your provider evaluates your skin, talks through your concerns, and helps you choose the right VI Peel formulation. The cost of treatment varies based on the formula selected, the area treated, and whether you have a single peel or a recommended series. To make care more accessible, the practice offers financing options that can be discussed during your visit.

The VI Peel Treatment

The peel itself is quick, often taking about 30 minutes. After cleansing your skin, your provider applies the VI Peel solution in gentle layers. You may notice a brief tingling sensation as the ingredients activate, then you'll leave the office with the peel still on your skin and a take-home kit of clear aftercare instructions.

Recovery and Results Timeline

A few hours after your appointment, you'll wash off the solution at home as directed. Light peeling and flaking typically begin around day two or three and finish by about day seven, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath. Downtime is minimal, though sun protection and gentle moisturizing are essential during this window. Many patients enjoy a healthy glow after a single treatment, and a series of about three peels often produces the best results for more pronounced concerns.

VI Peel Formulations

Part of what makes the VI Peel so effective is that it isn't one-size-fits-all. Dr. Hazen's team selects the formulation that best matches your skin and goals:

  • Original VI Peel: Ideal for overall rejuvenation, improving tone, texture, and clarity
  • VI Peel Precision Plus: Targets stubborn pigmentation such as sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • VI Peel Purify: Formulated for active, acne-prone skin
  • VI Peel Purify With Precision Plus: A comprehensive option for acne, paired with scarring and discoloration

Your provider will confirm which formulation is right for you during your consultation.

The VI Peel pairs beautifully with other services at Hazen Medical Spa, and it isn't the only path to refreshed skin. Depending on your goals, your provider may also recommend complementary treatments such as BOTOX and dermal fillers for lines and volume, microneedling for texture, or laser resurfacing like Sciton MOXI and BBL for deeper rejuvenation. Together, these options let Dr. Hazen build a plan tailored to your skin.
