Introduction
VI Peel
VI Peels are medical-grade chemical peels that address common, yet often difficult to treat skin concerns, including acne, acne scarring, scarring, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, discoloration, pore size, and fine lines and wrinkles. VI Chemical Peels also improve skin texture, remove excess oil, and improve the appearance of stretch marks. Unlike some laser and energy treatments, VI Peels are generally considered safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I- VI) and skin tones. VI Peel can also offer overall radiance improvement by promoting rapid cellular turnover for those seeking a brighter, more even, youthful complexion.
VI Peels are available in six formulations—five designed for the face and one designed for the body. The five VI Peel facial formulas are available and designed to address the skin of the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, whereas the body formula is most often applied to the skin of the back, arms, buttocks, and thighs. Whatever your goal or skin concern, there is a VI Peel option for you!
At New You Plastic Surgery in Long Island and Manhattan, we customize each VI Peel treatment to address your unique skin type and concerns. As the experts in plastic surgery and aesthetics, we know that your best treatment is not just about the product but also the application and the provider. During your consultation, you will receive a tailored treatment plan designed specifically for you and your skin care concerns, helping you reach your aesthetic goals and maintain your results for years to come.
What is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a specially formulated, medical-grade, mid-depth chemical peel that is available in six formulations to treat the face, neck, decolletage, hands, and body. VI Peels combine exfoliating acids and nourishing vitamins to rejuvenate the skin by exfoliating and promoting cellular regeneration. Unlike over-the-counter or superficial chemical peels that only scrape the surface, these mid-depth VI Peel treatments go deeper to remove damaged skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and promote healthy new skin growth, making the most impact with the least amount of downtime, if any.
These powerful formulas smooth uneven skin texture, lift and even out discoloration, combat active acne and acne scarring, and erase fine lines and wrinkles. Because it’s customizable, the VI Peel strength can be dialed in from mild to moderate, depending on your skin’s needs, lifestyle, affordability of downtime, and comfort level.
What Are the Benefits of a VI Peel?
Patients love VI Peels because, quite simply, they work! VI Peels improve a variety of common skin concerns all in one treatment. Patients find:
- Smoother skin texture: Say goodbye to rough, patchy, or flaky skin. VI Peels leave your skin silky and fresh.
- Even skin tone: Sunspots, discoloration, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and uneven pigmentation fade with repeated treatments, giving your complexion a brighter, more uniform look.
- Reduced fine lines: By stimulating collagen, VI Peels help soften fine lines and wrinkles and keep your skin feeling firm.
- Improved acne and scarring: VI Peels help clear clogged pores, treat active acne breakouts, and smooth out mild acne scars.
- Tightened, more youthful skin: Collagen stimulation also means your skin looks and feels tighter and more resilient.
- Minimal downtime: You’ll see peeling and redness for a few days, but most people bounce back fast enough to keep their social calendar intact. Completely tailored to your concerns and lifestyle, VI Peels can be customized to afford you the greatest impact and result with as little downtime as your social and professional life can afford!
VI Peels are versatile, effective, and the go-to treatment for patients seeking noticeable improvements in their skin without the recovery time of more aggressive treatments.
Who Are the Best Candidates for a VI Peel?
Not everyone needs a heavy-duty peel or complicated procedure. VI Peels are the perfect lunch-time treatment for people who want to hit “reset” on their skin’s texture and tone with little to no downtime!
Ideal candidates include:
- Anyone with early signs of aging, like fine lines and mild wrinkles
- People dealing with uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, PIH, and/or sun damage
- Those who want to improve acne-prone skin, combat active acne breakouts, and/or reduce mild acne scarring
- Anyone looking to refresh dull or rough skin texture
- Patients wanting to rejuvenate aging skin on the neck, chest, hands, and/or body
Since they’re highly customizable and safe for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-VI, VI Peels are the perfect addition to your skincare plan. However, a professional evaluation is always important before proceeding, especially if your skin is very sensitive or if you have certain skin conditions. At New You Plastic Surgery in Long Island and Manhattan, your safety and satisfaction are priorities, so we’ll always make sure this is the right fit for your skin and aesthetic goals.
What’s the
first step?
VI Peel Treatment First steps
Everything starts with a detailed consultation with our expert estheticians. This is where you and your esthetician will get on the same page. We’ll assess your skin’s condition, discuss your concerns, set realistic goals, and design a treatment plan that will achieve them.
We’ll review your medical history and skin type to tailor the peel strength and treatment plan specifically for you. Expect honest, clear advice—no overpromising or hype here. You’ll leave with a plan that fits your lifestyle and skin goals, whether a single treatment for a quick refresh or a series of peels for deeper improvement.
What to Expect on the Day of a VI Peel Treatment
Your provider will start by cleansing your skin thoroughly and prepping it for the peel.
Next, the customized VI solution is carefully applied to the targeted areas. You might feel a mild tingling or warming sensation—that’s the peel working; there is nothing to stress about. The whole treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes – an easy lunch break visit.
After the peel, we’ll soothe your skin with calming products and walk you through a tailored post-peel aftercare routine. Following these steps closely is important because your skin will be sensitive and healing over the next few days.
VI Peel Recovery
Recovery is one of the best parts—minimal downtime, with impactful and visible results. Most people experience mild redness, mild tightness, and peeling for 3 to 5 days after treatment. The severity of peeling will depend on the specific peel applied and treatment protocol. While the peeling might look intense, it’s just your skin shedding dead skin cells and lifted pigment to reveal the fresh and bright layer underneath.
Keep your skin hydrated, avoid picking at peeling areas, follow your post-peel protocol, and use sunscreen like your skin’s life depends on it (because it kind of does). Avoid heavy makeup and direct sun exposure while healing.
Generally, people feel confident returning to work or social activities within a day or two, depending on how their skin reacts and the peel strength chosen.

In Long Island and Manhattan, the VI Peel typically costs $450 to $650 per session, but packages are available for best results. The total cost will ultimately depend on the specific formula selected, the treatment area, and the number of sessions needed to achieve your skin goals.
