The VI Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that uses a synergistic blend of powerful acids and vitamins to safely and effectively resurface the skin. This pain-free treatment promotes rapid cellular turnover to address signs of aging, sun damage, and acne, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin in as little as seven days.
For many of our patients, achieving “wholeness” includes feeling confident and healthy in their own skin. The VI Peel is a cornerstone of our wellness-focused aesthetic treatments, designed to correct underlying concerns like pigmentation and texture, restoring your skin’s natural vitality and glow.

The VI Peel is a highly versatile treatment suitable for all skin types and tones. It is designed for patients seeking significant, visible improvement in their skin’s health without the extensive downtime associated with deeper peels. We often recommend this peel to address a wide range of concerns, which we categorize as follows:
- Pigmentation & Sun Damage: This includes concerns like melasma, stubborn sun spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone.
- Signs of Aging: The VI Peel is highly effective at softening fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing rough skin texture, and restoring a youthful luminosity.
- Acne & Scarring: This treatment can clear active acne, reduce breakouts, minimize pore size, and fade the appearance of acne scars.

You are a health-conscious individual looking for a powerful, corrective treatment to reset your skin’s health.

Our Guiding Philosophy for VI Peel
At DRC360, the VI Peel is far more than a simple skin-resurfacing treatment; it is a vital tool in our mission to help patients achieve wholeness. Our practice views skin health as a direct reflection of internal wellness. Dr. Cavazos’s philosophy, rooted in over 30 years of medical practice with a focus on nutrition and prevention, guides our approach. We understand the complex biochemical changes that occur during aging and how they manifest in the skin.
The VI Peel’s advanced, synergistic formula aligns perfectly with our blend of allopathic and alternative therapies. It doesn’t just strip the skin; it infuses it with vitamins and healing agents to stimulate meaningful, foundational repair. Our team is trained to assess not just the visible symptom, but the underlying cause, ensuring the peel is customized to promote true cellular rejuvenation and restore your skin’s vitality from within.
What to Expect: Your Results Timeline
- Immediately After Treatment: Your skin will look slightly tan or “glowing” and may feel tight. You will leave the peel solution on for several hours as instructed.
- Days 1-2: The skin will feel tight and may darken slightly as the solution works.
- Days 3-5: This is the primary peeling phase. The skin will begin to flake and peel, starting around the mouth and moving outward. It is crucial not to pick or pull at the skin during this time.
- Days 6-7: The peeling process subsides, revealing new, healthy, and vibrant skin underneath.
- Final Results: Your skin will appear noticeably smoother, brighter, and more even-toned within 7-10 days. Results continue to improve as new collagen is stimulated.
Frequently Asked Questions about VI Peel
How Much Does VI Peel Cost?
The cost of a VI Peel varies depending on the specific formulation used and the number of treatments in your personalized plan. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where all your challenges are explored, which includes a transparent discussion of cost. We will provide a precise quote during your initial consultation after assessing your unique skin goals.
Is VI Peel Painful?
The VI Peel is considered virtually painless. Its unique formulation includes a numbing agent, so patients typically only feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation for a few seconds during the application. It is a very comfortable procedure, which is one of the main reasons our patients prefer it over more aggressive chemical peels.
How Does VI Peel Compare to a Traditional TCA Peel?
A traditional TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel often uses TCA as a single, powerful agent, which can be effective but also painful and require significant downtime. The VI Peel contains TCA, but as part of a synergistic blend with other acids (like salicylic acid and phenol) plus vitamins. This blended approach makes the VI Peel safer for all skin tones, virtually painless, and requires less downtime while delivering comparable or superior results.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
While you will see a noticeable improvement after just one VI Peel, most patients achieve their ideal results with a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For long-term maintenance of your skin health and to combat the biochemical changes of aging, we often recommend a VI Peel 3-4 times per year.
At DRC360, you are more than just a patient; you are family. We have created a nurturing, welcoming environment where you will never feel rushed. Your journey begins with a careful consultation, where we explore your health challenges and create a plan to help you achieve your ideal self.
