If you’re looking for a glow-up that tackles uneven tone, dark spots, acne, and fine lines—without weeks of downtime—the VI Peel is a proven, in-office chemical peel that delivers visible results in about a week. At HoneyHued MediSpa in Newburgh, NY, our trained providers use the VI Peel to brighten and smooth skin safely and effectively for a wide range of skin tones.
What is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel created by the Vitality Institute. It combines well-studied actives—trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamin C—to exfoliate, even pigmentation, and stimulate collagen for smoother, clearer skin. It’s designed to be performed in-office by trained providers only.
Key Benefits
-
Evens skin tone & fades dark spots (including sun damage, PIH, and melasma when appropriate formulations like Precision Plus are used)
-
Softens fine lines & smooths texture
-
Helps clear acne and minimize the look of acne scars
-
Boosts radiance with minimal downtime
These benefits come from the peel’s blend of acids and brighteners and, for pigmentation-focused versions, boosters that suppress melanogenesis (pigment formation) and increase cellular turnover.
Is the VI Peel safe for my skin tone?
Yes—VI Peel formulations are developed to be safe and effective for all skin tones when applied by a trained practitioner, an important advantage over older peels that could be risky for deeper complexions. Your provider will choose the right formula for your goals and skin history.
What to Expect: Treatment & Downtime
A typical appointment takes about 30 minutes. After application, you’ll leave with the peel on and follow simple home instructions. Most people notice mild redness followed by peeling that starts around day 2–3 and lasts about 3–7 days as fresh skin is revealed. You’ll usually see visible improvement within the first week, with continued refinement over several more weeks as your skin renews.
How many treatments will I need?
You’ll see benefits after a single peel, but many clients choose a series for deeper concerns like acne scarring or stubborn hyperpigmentation. VI recommends spacing peels ~every 4–6 weeks when a series is advised; your practitioner will tailor the plan to your skin. Maintenance peels a few times per year help keep results.
Who is a good candidate?
Most healthy adults seeking improvement in tone, texture, acne, and early signs of aging are good candidates. As with any peel, a consultation is important—especially if you’re pregnant/breastfeeding or have conditions/medications that increase photosensitivity—to ensure timing and aftercare are right for you.

VI Peel FAQs
How long does peeling last?
Most clients peel for 3–7 days, with noticeable improvement around the one-week mark.
Can a VI Peel help melasma and dark spots?
Yes. Targeted formulations like VI Peel Precision Plus are designed to address pigmentation by suppressing melanogenesis and accelerating turnover—often used in a series for best results. Daily SPF is essential to maintain gains.
Is the VI Peel good for acne and acne marks?
VI’s acne-focused formulations can help active acne, PIH, and textural scarring, especially when combined with a consistent home routine.
How often can I repeat the peel?
If recommended as a series, peels are typically scheduled every 4–6 weeks, followed by maintenance a few times per year. Your provider will personalize the cadence.
