Learn how the VI Peel works and what makes it a trusted choice for skin renewal in Bellevue and Issaquah.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses a special solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin. This process promotes cell turnover, revealing smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin underneath. Chemical peels are used to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne and acne scars
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture and dullness
Depending on your skin type and goals, peels can range from mild to deeper treatments. Our team will help you choose the best option based on your unique needs.
What Makes the VI Peel Different?
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that combines powerful ingredients like TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin C. This peel is gentle on the skin but effective enough to create noticeable improvements across all skin types.
What sets the VI Peel apart is its ability to target multiple concerns at once. Whether you're struggling with active acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun spots, or early signs of aging, the VI Peel can help improve your skin's overall clarity and resilience.
