VI Peel at a Glance
Skin Works Medical Spa offers VI Peel, a medical-grade chemical peel, in Torrance starting at $300 per session. VI Peel blends retinoids, vitamin C, and a calibrated mix of acids to loosen and lift damaged outer skin cells while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. As those cells shed over the following days, fresher, more even-toned skin takes their place. Because aftercare shapes the outcome, every VI Peel includes a clear recovery plan and a take-home kit so your skin can heal comfortably and evenly.
We carry four VI Peel formulas, Original, Precision Plus, Purify, and Purify + Precision Plus, so your provider can match the peel to what your skin actually needs rather than a one-size approach. Body and back options are also available for sun damage, acne, and texture concerns beyond the face.
What Is a VI Peel & How Does It Work?
VI Peel uses a precise, proprietary blend of retinoids, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids to loosen damaged surface skin cells while stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production beneath the surface. Unlike many superficial peels, VI Peel is formulated to produce noticeable renewal while remaining suitable for most skin types and tones. Application typically feels warm or tingly for a few minutes. Tightness can appear on day 1, and peeling usually begins days 2 to 4 as damaged skin is shed and replaced with fresher, healthier-looking skin.
A Calibrated Blend
Retinoids, vitamin C, and a mix of acids work together to exfoliate the surface while supporting a brighter, more even complexion, with balanced formulas that limit downtime compared to deep resurfacing.
Comfort & Downtime
Most patients feel warmth or tingling during application. Tightness may appear on day 1, with peeling typically starting days 2 to 4. Social downtime is usually mild.
Aftercare Matters
Every VI Peel includes a take-home kit and a clear recovery plan. Hydration and consistent SPF use support a smooth, even recovery and help protect your results.
VI Peel solution is applied with gauze in sections, allowing your provider to control coverage precisely.
VI Peel Formulas & Our Approach
Your provider selects the formula that fits your goals, timeline, and skin, and times sessions around events and seasons so you see visible refinement with minimal disruption to your routine.
Original
A versatile choice for brightening and smoothing, and often a great first peel for patients new to professional exfoliation.
Precision Plus
Targets stubborn discoloration, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun damage when spots linger despite a consistent home routine.
Purify
Addresses congestion, active breakouts, and the look of inflamed acne, supporting clearer pores and a more balanced complexion.
Purify + Precision Plus
Combines clarifying, acne-focused action with discoloration support, a strong option for patients dealing with both active breakouts and post-blemish marks.
A free consultation helps determine which VI Peel formula fits your skin and goals.

Original is a versatile brightening and smoothing formula, often a good first peel. Precision Plus targets stubborn discoloration and sun damage. Purify addresses acne and congestion. Purify + Precision Plus combines both, treating active breakouts and the discoloration they leave behind.
Who should get VI Peel Precision Plus?
Precision Plus is best for patients with stubborn pigmentation concerns, including melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and acne marks that haven’t responded fully to routine skincare.
Does VI Peel Precision Plus work for all skin tones?
VI Peel is formulated to be suitable for most skin types and tones, with conservative protocols used when appropriate. Your provider reviews your specific skin tone and history at consultation to confirm candidacy and the right approach.
What areas can be treated with a chemical peel?
VI Peel can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, as well as the back and larger body areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs, using formulas sized specifically for larger or smaller treatment zones.
Are chemical peel results permanent?
Results are not permanent in the sense of stopping future aging or sun damage, but the improvement in tone, texture, and clarity from a completed peel or series can last for months, especially when paired with consistent SPF use and home skincare.
Are chemical peels safe?
VI Peel is a medical-grade treatment performed by licensed providers after a skin assessment. It’s formulated to be suitable for most skin types and tones, with candidacy and protocol confirmed at your consultation.
What does VI Peel Precision Plus feel like?
Application typically feels warm or tingly for a few minutes. Most patients tolerate the sensation well, and any discomfort during application is brief.
Does it hurt to get a chemical peel?
Most patients describe a warm or tingling sensation during application rather than pain. Tightness can follow in the hours after treatment as the peel begins working.
How many chemical peels will I need?
A single VI Peel can produce visible improvement, but concerns like acne, pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and sun damage often respond best to a series of treatments. Your provider recommends a specific plan at consultation.
How soon will I see results from a peel?
Peeling typically begins days 2 to 4 after treatment. As damaged skin sheds and fresher skin takes its place, tone and clarity continue to refine over the following 1 to 4 weeks and beyond.
What kind of results can I expect from a chemical peel?
Many patients notice brighter, more even tone, smoother texture, and improved clarity as damaged surface cells are replaced with healthier skin. Continued benefits develop as collagen production and cellular renewal continue.
Will my peel results look natural?
Yes. VI Peel is designed to improve overall skin quality rather than create a dramatic, obviously “done” change. Results read as healthier, more even, and refreshed skin.
Who should not get a peel?
Active skin infections, certain medications, pregnancy, and specific skin conditions may be reasons to postpone or modify treatment. Your provider reviews your health history and current products at consultation to confirm candidacy.
Is there any downtime after a peel?
Social downtime is usually mild. Tightness may appear on day 1, with peeling typically starting days 2 to 4. Most patients continue their normal routine with some adjustment to skincare during peeling.
What are the side effects of a peel?
Temporary tightness, visible peeling, and mild sensitivity are expected parts of the process. Redness or flaking typically resolves as new skin fully surfaces. Your provider reviews what’s normal versus what to call about at your consultation.
What should I avoid after a peel treatment?
Avoid picking or peeling skin manually, direct sun exposure without SPF, and harsh or active skincare products until peeling completes. Your take-home kit and aftercare review cover exactly what to use and what to skip.
What follow-up care will I need after a peel?
Consistent SPF use, gentle hydration, and following your take-home kit instructions are the core of aftercare. Your provider is available for quick check-ins during the peeling process if questions come up.
Can I get my peel before travel or a special event?
Yes, timing is part of what your provider plans with you. Because peeling takes a few days to complete, schedule your peel with enough lead time before the event so skin has fully finished peeling beforehand.
