VI Peel
A medical-grade chemical peel that works beneath the surface.

The VI Peel Formulas
Several formulas are available, each designed for a specific concern and level of intensity. Cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Neely will evaluate your skin and select the right formula based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
What to Expect from the VI PEEL
Before Your Appointment
No preparation is required before a VI Peel and patients do not need to pause any part of their current skincare routine beforehand. If needed, the skin can be cleansed in-office prior to treatment.
The VI Peel Treatment
The VI Peel is a quick, in-office treatment with the full visit lasting approximately 30 minutes. The peel itself is applied in just 5 to 7 minutes, with most patients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation during application.
The Peel Process
Over the following days, the skin will begin to flake and slightly peel, typically starting around day three and completing by day seven. There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after their appointment.
After Your VI Peel Appointment
Dr. Neely provides detailed post-peel instructions to support the skin through the peeling process. Gentle cleansing, consistent moisturizing, and strict sun protection are essential in the days following treatment. All active skincare products and prescriptions are paused until the skin has fully recovered, typically around day 5-7 days post-treatment.
The Results
Smoother, clearer, more even skin. Most patients see some improvement after a single treatment, with continued improvement over subsequent sessions.
