You asked—and we listened! At Phases® Skin Care & Laser Center, we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of a brand-new treatment that’s been one of our most requested: the VI Peel by the Vitality Institute. Known for its impressive results and minimal downtime, this painless, medium-depth chemical peel is safe for all skin types and tones, and it’s quickly become a favorite for treating a variety of skin concerns.
Whether you’re dealing with stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, sun damage, or signs of aging, VI Peels offer visible results in as little as 7 days—and we’re so excited to now bring this powerful solution to our patients in the Indianapolis area.
What Is a VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel developed by the Vitality Institute, designed to rejuvenate the skin by encouraging natural exfoliation and cellular turnover. It works by gently removing the top layers of damaged skin to reveal a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion underneath.
Unlike more aggressive peels that may require heavy downtime or are limited to lighter skin tones, VI Peels are safe and effective for all ethnicities, skin types, and Fitzpatrick skin tones—making it a true game-changer in aesthetic skincare.
What Can VI Peels Treat?
VI Peels are versatile and target multiple common skin concerns, including:
- Hyperpigmentation & Melasma – Helps lift discoloration and even out skin tone
- Sun Damage – Fades age spots and sun spots caused by UV exposure
- Acne & Acne Scarring – Helps clear active breakouts and soften acne scars
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin
- Texture Irregularities – Improves overall tone and texture for a healthy, radiant glow
Whether you’re in your 20s dealing with hormonal acne or in your 50s hoping to reverse the effects of sun damage, there’s a VI Peel formulation designed for your specific skin goals.
What Makes the VI Peel Different?
There are a lot of chemical peels on the market, but VI Peels stand out for a few key reasons:
- Painless Application – Thanks to a unique numbing agent, VI Peels are virtually painless during application—no stinging or burning.
- Safe for All Skin Types – Unlike some peels that carry a higher risk for darker skin tones, VI Peels are clinically proven safe and effective for all.
- Minimal Downtime – You can expect peeling that starts around day 3 and lasts through day 7. No major disruption to your daily life.
- Visible Results in 7 Days – Most patients notice smoother, clearer skin in just one week—with improvements continuing over time.
