VI Peel Chemical Peel

VI Peel medical-grade chemical peel ($350 single / $750 series of 3) at Austin Plastic Surgeon's MedSpa. The VI Peel formula combines TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C to resurface and brighten the skin in a medium-depth peel that addresses fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. VI Body Peel also available ($350–$500) for chest, arms, and back. Four to seven days of peeling expected.

Austin Plastic Surgeon's MedSpa offers the VI Peel, a medical-grade chemical peel system formulated with a synergistic blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C that delivers medium-depth chemical resurfacing in a single application. The VI Peel is classified as a medium-depth peel — it penetrates to the upper papillary dermis, triggering epidermal shedding and stimulating dermal collagen and elastin remodelling, with a more significant and longer-lasting outcome than superficial peels while maintaining a manageable recovery period. The combination of active agents addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously: TCA causes controlled protein coagulation in the upper epidermis and dermis, initiating the chemical exfoliation process; retinoic acid accelerates cellular turnover and enhances the peel's penetration depth; salicylic acid provides lipophilic exfoliation that clears pores and reduces acne; phenol acts as a surface anesthetic while contributing to depth control; and vitamin C delivers antioxidant protection during the healing process and supports melanin-inhibitory effects for pigmentation correction. The single session is priced at $350, and a series of three sessions is available at $750, representing a meaningful saving for patients completing a full treatment course. Results typically include four to seven days of visible peeling and flaking as the old skin sheds, after which the newly revealed skin displays improved tone, texture, brightness, and reduction in superficial pigmentation and fine lines. The VI Body Peel ($350–$500) extends the same formulation to body areas including the chest, upper arms, and back for patients with sun damage, keratosis pilaris, or hyperpigmentation outside the face.
