Lightens dark spots, smooths rough texture, clears acne breakouts, and stimulates fresh collagen production.
Quick, painless in-office application taking roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

A brighter, clearer, and more balanced complexion visible within one week of treatment.
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel formulated with a synergistic blend of ingredients, including trichloroacetic acid, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. Unlike traditional deep chemical peels that require extensive healing, the VI Peel penetrates deep into the dermal layers while remaining comfortable during application. It breaks down dead surface skin cells and triggers cellular turnover from within.
Patients can choose from targeted VI Peel formulations to suit specific skin concerns. Whether you are dealing with stubborn melasma, active breakouts, post-inflammatory acne scars, or early signs of aging, there is a dedicated blend designed to restore your skin balance. During your initial consultation, we select the formulation best suited for your skin type, tone, and concerns.
Your treatment takes place in our comfortable, boutique practice in Katy. Your aesthetic specialist first cleanses your skin to remove surface oils and impurities.
The VI Peel solution is then applied evenly across the targeted treatment area using a precision applicator.
The application itself takes only 20 to 30 minutes and is virtually painless. The formula contains a mild numbing agent that keeps your skin comfortable throughout the process.
Once the solution is applied, you are free to leave our office and allow the peel to work over the next four hours before washing it off at home according to our instructions.
While the VI Peel is most frequently applied to the face, it is also effective for the neck, chest, and hands. It treats a variety of common skin imperfections, including:
The VI Peel provides noticeable skin renewal without the intense discomfort or extended healing associated with traditional deep peels. Unlike many light-based treatments or harsh chemical solutions, the VI Peel is clinically proven safe for all skin types and Fitzpatrick shades. It carries a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when proper aftercare is followed.
By blending multiple exfoliation agents, the peel addresses surface pigment and deeper cellular matrix health simultaneously. It stimulates new collagen growth to firm and smooth your skin over time.
VI Peel formulas include options tailored for a range of skin types and rejuvenation goals. They are a great option for anyone who wants a non-invasive treatment to fade hyperpigmentation, smooth skin texture, or control acne. It works well for patients in their 30s and 40s seeking a quick, effective treatment to refresh their skin without taking time away from work.
Patients with open wounds, active viral infections, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should wait to undergo treatment. During your evaluation, our team reviews your health history and current skin care routine to confirm that a VI Peel is safe for you.
Your skin will appear slightly tan or red for the first 48 hours after your treatment. Peeling typically begins on day three, starting around the mouth and expanding outward across the face. This natural shedding process usually finishes by day seven.
We provide a specialized take-home kit containing soothing cleansers, protectant creams, and SPF. It is essential to avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin to prevent irritation. You should also protect your face from direct sunlight exposure throughout the recovery phase.
Once peeling is complete, you will notice immediate improvements in skin clarity, brightness, and softness. Sun spots fade, active acne lesions shrink, and overall tone looks vastly more even.
For optimal outcomes, we may recommend a series of three treatments spaced four weeks apart. Periodic maintenance peels performed two to four times a year help sustain your glowing, smooth skin long term.
Your skin is personal, and your treatment plan should be, too. At The Artisan Center for Plastic Surgery in Katy, TX, we create a welcoming boutique experience where your concerns, preferences, and aesthetic goals guide the conversation.
We believe that feeling informed and comfortable is an important part of choosing the right treatment.
With the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. B. Allen Rodgers, our experienced aesthetic team helps you explore personalized options for improving the appearance of uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and other visible skin concerns. If a VI Peel is appropriate for you, we provide clear expectations and practical aftercare guidance to help you navigate the recovery process.
Our goal is to pair thoughtful recommendations with attentive care, so you can move forward with confidence in your skin rejuvenation plan.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during application. You may feel a slight warm or tingling sensation for the first minute, but the self-numbing action of the formula quickly keeps the skin comfortable.
Peeling generally begins on the third day after treatment and lasts for three to four days. Most patients finish peeling completely within one week.
You can apply makeup once the peel solution has been washed off at home, though we recommend keeping your skin bare or using light mineral cosmetics while active peeling occurs.
The VI Peel combines multiple active ingredients alongside a topical numbing agent, making it virtually painless while providing deeper cellular renewal than conventional light peels.
While a single peel provides visible radiance, a series of three treatments spaced three to four weeks apart yields the best results for stubborn pigment and acne scars. Maintenance peels can be scheduled every three to four months.
