Your skin is prepped for the Chemical peel
After a consultation and history, your facialist esthetician or nurse will cleanse your skin. Then the VI Peel, a solution of acid and other active chemical peeling ingredients, is applied.
The second step of your VIpeel
The first phase of applied solution helps penetrate surface-level skin cells. A second phase of the VI Peel is then applied and goes into the deeper layers of your skin to remove toxins and dead skin cells.
VIpeels can be used on face, neck, or chest.
This chemical peel is fast and relatively painless (really, no one complains of pain). You’ll be done in under 30 minutes Keep the peeling agents on for 5 hours and usually you will have visible skin peeling 3-4 days later.
Post-treatment results and skin care
Once your skin finishes peeling, full results take about 2-3 weeks to appear. You can do another chemical peel in just 2-3 weeks if you want more results. This chemical peel improves skin texture, melasma, acne and sun damage.

One VI Peel alone gives dramatic results, but 3-4 peels a year help continually stimulate collagen and elastin, eliminate unwanted pigmentation, and help keep fine lines from becoming deeper wrinkles.
At our Naples, Petoskey, and Traverse City medspas we have multiple chemical peels to choose from. Many chemical peels accomplish similar results without downtime but require more visits.

“I love CSLC. It’s been a long journey from treating acne in my early twenties to cutting edge technologies to help me stay ahead of wrinkles and recover from hormonal changes and pregnancy masks in my mid 30s. It’s been over a decade and I am always excited to see the staff and grateful for the newest technologies that they have on hand!”
