Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that can be applied to the face, hands, and neck. They’re used to improve the appearance or feel of the skin. During this procedure, chemical solutions will be applied to the area being treated, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, appears less wrinkled, and may have less damage.
Peels are used to treat a variety of things, including:
- wrinkles and fine lines
- sun damage
- acne scars
- hyperpigmentation
- scars
- melasma
- uneven skin tone or redness

Who is a Candidate for a VI Peel?
- Patients interested in achieving and maintaining healthier, more youthful looking skin.
- Patients looking for anti-aging benefits including tone, texture, clarity, fine lines and wrinkles.
- Patients with hyperpigmentation (including melasma) and sun damage. Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which patches of skin become darker that the surrounding skin.

The Precision Plus is a powerful dual-booster and towelette system designed specifically to treat stubborn pigmentation.
