Chemical Peels

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin after just one VI Peel, especially when treating dullness or mild discoloration. For concerns like acne, acne scarring, or stubborn pigmentation, a series of peels spaced several weeks apart often delivers the most noticeable improvement. Our team will help determine the optimal number of treatments based on your skin goals and your skin’s response after each peel.

You’ll be able to wear makeup once the peeling process is complete, typically after about five to seven days. During the peeling phase, it’s best to let your skin breathe and focus on hydration and sun protection. Once peeling subsides, makeup usually applies more smoothly and evenly.

Most people describe the VI Peel as mildly tingly or warm during application, but not painful. The sensation usually fades quickly, and the treatment itself is brief. Our professionals will guide you through what to expect and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

Yes, VI Peels can be performed year-round with proper sun protection. Because Seattle typically experiences less intense sun exposure than sunnier climates, many clients feel comfortable scheduling peels year-round. Consistent SPF use and following post-care instructions are key to maintaining results and protecting your skin.

One of the reasons VI Peels are so popular is that they’re safe for all skin tones when performed correctly. The formulation is designed to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation while still delivering visible results. Your provider will select the appropriate peel option and guide you through aftercare to support even healing.

A VI Peel penetrates deeper than superficial peels, allowing it to address concerns like acne scarring, pigmentation, and fine lines more effectively. While lighter peels may offer a quick refresh, the VI Peel delivers more noticeable resurfacing with a manageable peeling phase.

During your healing phase, you should avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin, excessive heat, sweating, and direct sun exposure. You’ll also want to pause strong active skincare ingredients until your provider gives the green light. Following these guidelines helps ensure smooth healing and optimal results.

Yes, VI Peels often work beautifully as part of a larger skin plan. Some clients use peels to prep the skin before treatments like IPL or microneedling, while others schedule them between injectable or facial appointments to maintain skin clarity and texture. Our team can help schedule treatments at appropriate intervals to support your skin’s health.

At Lux Aesthetics, VI Peels are never cookie-cutter. Each treatment is selected and customized based on your skin type, lifestyle, and long-term goals. With experienced estheticians and medical oversight, you can feel confident knowing your peel is performed thoughtfully and safely, with your comfort and results in mind.
