VI Peels vs Chemical Peels: What's the difference?

Are you looking to revitalize your skin and achieve a healthy, radiant complexion? With so many different options available in the world of skincare treatments, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is best for you. In this blog post, we will be discussing two popular options – VI Peels and Chemical Peels – and comparing their benefits, unique qualities, and differences. By understanding these factors, you will be able to make an informed decision on which treatment is most suitable for your individual needs.

The Benefits of VI Peels

VI Peel stands for ‘Vitality Institute’ peel and is a proprietary blend of powerful ingredients that work together to deeply exfoliate, renew, and rejuvenate the skin. This peel is suitable for all skin types and can help address various skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. Some of the key benefits of VI Peels include:

  • Improving overall skin tone and texture
  • Stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin
  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizing acne breakouts and reducing scarring
  • Correcting hyperpigmentation and discoloration

What Makes VI Peels Unique?

VI Peels are unique because they are the only peel on the market that contains a blend of powerful ingredients, including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Retin-A, salicylic acid, phenol and Vitamin C. This special combination allows for a more intense peel without causing significant discomfort or downtime. VI Peels also use a patented delivery system to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide more dramatic results with less risk of adverse reactions.

The Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels have been used for decades to improve skin texture and appearance by removing damaged outer layers of skin. They are available in various strengths, from mild superficial peels to deep chemical peels with varying concentrations of active ingredients. Some of the benefits of chemical peels include:

  • Reducing the appearance of acne and acne scars
  • Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improving skin texture and radiance
  • Removing damaged outer layers to reveal fresh, new skin

What Makes Chemical Peels Unique?

Unlike VI Peels, which have a specific blend of ingredients, chemical peels can be customized with different concentrations of active ingredients to meet individual needs. This versatility allows for targeted treatments, making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

The Differences Between VI Peels and Chemical Peels

Now that we have discussed the benefits and unique qualities of both VI Peels and Chemical Peels, let’s take a closer look at the differences between these two treatments.

  • Strength: VI Peels are generally considered to be stronger than most chemical peels, as they contain a blend of potent ingredients. This makes them more effective in treating advanced skin concerns, but also means that they may require more downtime and have a higher risk of adverse reactions.
  • Application: VI Peels are typically applied by a trained professional at a skin clinic, while some milder chemical peels can be done at home with proper instructions.
  • Downtime: Due to their strength, VI Peels may require 5-7 days of downtime for the skin to fully heal and reveal results. Chemical peels, on the other hand, may require 1-2 days of downtime depending on their strength and the individual’s skin sensitivity.
