VI Peel
Your trusted destination for VI Peel in Boston
Seaport Medspa is proud to be a trusted provider of VI Peel in Boston. VI Peel® is a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel that uses a proprietary blend of active ingredients to improve skin clarity, tone, and texture. Safe for all skin types, VI Peel helps reduce pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and early signs of aging, leaving skin healthier and more radiant.
What is VI Peel?
How VI Peel Works
VI Peel uses a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. This blend penetrates the outer skin layers to stimulate cell turnover, collagen production, and gradual resurfacing.
Treatment Process
After cleansing, the VI Peel solution is applied to the skin. Patients may feel a light tingling sensation. The peel remains on the skin for several hours before being washed off at home. Peeling begins within a few days and continues for about one week.
Safety and FDA Approval
VI Peel is FDA-approved for treating acne, pigmentation, and other skin conditions. It is considered safe for all skin types and tones when administered by trained medical providers.
Areas Commonly Treated
VI Peel is most often used on the face but can also be applied to the neck, chest, back, and hands to address pigmentation, acne, and uneven skin tone.

A Patient-Focused Approach
At Seaport Medspa, VI Peel® treatments are performed with safety and education as priorities. Providers tailor peel strength and frequency to each patient’s skin type and goals, ensuring balanced and natural-looking results.
The Science Behind VI Peel
Chemical peels accelerate the skin’s natural exfoliation process, promoting new cell growth and collagen production. What makes VI Peel unique is its proprietary blend of TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. Together, these ingredients penetrate to a medium depth, making VI Peel effective for reducing pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and uneven skin texture while remaining safe for all skin tones.
The Treatment Experience
A VI Peel appointment typically lasts about 30 minutes. The peel is applied evenly across the treatment area and left on for several hours. Patients leave the office with the peel in place and wash it off at home as directed. Peeling usually begins around day 3, with skin shedding in thin sheets or flakes for several days. Mild redness or tightness may occur but downtime is minimal compared to deeper peels.
Expected Results
Results begin to appear once peeling is complete, typically within 7–10 days. Patients notice brighter skin, more even tone, and improved clarity. A series of treatments may be recommended for concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, or melasma. Maintenance peels can help preserve long-term skin health.
Safety and Research
VI Peel is FDA-approved and widely studied for both safety and effectiveness. It is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker tones that may be more prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation with other peels. Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
Areas of Treatment
The most common treatment area is the face, but VI Peel is also effective on the neck, chest, back, and hands. It can be used to address sun damage, acne, melasma, fine lines, and uneven texture across multiple areas.
