Chemical Peels with VI Peel®: Clearer, Brighter, Healthier Skin

Chemical peels are a powerful way to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by accelerating cellular turnover. At Metzner Aesthetics, we exclusively use VI Peel products—a family of medical-grade peels designed to deliver consistent results with minimal downtime.

VI Peel treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, making them one of the most versatile and effective skin-renewal options available. You go home with a kit including all the products you will need for the following week. By day 7 your skin will be glowing!

What Is a VI Peel®?

A VI Peel is a medium-depth corrective chemical peel that uses a synergistic blend of exfoliating acids, vitamins, and skin-brightening agents to safely penetrate the skin and stimulate renewal.

Unlike older, harsher peels, VI Peels are:

Predictable and controlled
Safe for all skin tones
Designed to improve multiple skin concerns at once
Backed by clinical experience and research

They are performed in-office and followed by a structured post-peel regimen to optimize results.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Over time, dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, contributing to:

Dullness
Uneven tone
Acne congestion
Fine lines and texture irregularities

VI Peels work by:

Removing damaged outer layers of skin
Stimulating cellular turnover
Encouraging collagen production
Revealing smoother, brighter, healthier skin underneath

Peeling typically begins a few days after treatment and progresses gradually.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

VI Peel treatments may be ideal if you:

Struggle with acne or acne scarring
Have uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation
Want brighter, more radiant skin
Are noticing early signs of aging
Want visible improvement without aggressive downtime

VI Peels can be safely used on many skin types when properly selected and guided.

Skin Concerns That Can Be Treated

VI Peels are commonly used to address:

Acne and acne-prone skin
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Melasma
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rough texture and enlarged pores
Dull or uneven complexion

Treatment selection is based on your skin type, sensitivity, and goals.

What to Expect From Treatment

Treatment time: ~30 minutes
Downtime: Minimal; peeling typically starts day 2–3
Peeling duration: About 3–5 days
Results: Brighter, clearer skin within 1–2 weeks

Most patients resume normal activities quickly while allowing the skin to peel naturally.

Chemical Peels + Other Treatments

VI Peels pair exceptionally well with other treatments, including:

Microneedling for texture and collagen stimulation, along with treatment of hyperpigmentation.
PRP or PRF-m for regenerative skin support
Neuromodulators and fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation

This layered approach allows us to treat skin quality, structure, and movement together.
