Superficial to medium-depth options available with varying recovery periods.

Chemical peels at Trifecta Med Spa NYC are offered at $175 per thirty-minute session using ViPeel and SkinMedica — two of the leading medical-grade professional peel brands available in the United States. ViPeel by VI Aesthetics is a proprietary blend peel formulation containing trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C that is applied as a self-neutralising medium-depth peel. The combination of acids addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously: the TCA component provides controlled protein coagulation and epidermal lifting; retinoic acid (a retinoid) stimulates epidermal cell turnover and reduces melanin transfer; salicylic acid penetrates into follicles for comedonal improvement and acne; and phenol provides anti-aging and pigment-lightening effects. ViPeel variants available at med spa level include the original ViPeel, ViPeel Precision for hyper-sensitive or darker skin types, and ViPeel Precision Plus for more pronounced anti-aging and pigmentation goals. SkinMedica peels — a brand under the Allergan portfolio — include a range of superficial to medium-depth formulations using combinations of glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid tailored to specific skin concerns. Superficial peels produce mild flaking and temporary redness for two to four days. Medium-depth peels such as ViPeel produce more pronounced peeling for four to seven days. All peels require strict sun avoidance and SPF 50+ application for two to four weeks post-treatment as the new skin surface is vulnerable to UV-induced pigmentation. Clinical benefits associated with a properly completed chemical peel course include progressive improvement in skin tone uniformity, reduction in acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, mild melasma, and fine surface lines, and overall improvement in skin texture and radiance. At $175, Trifecta's chemical peel is a highly accessible entry point to professional skin renewal in New York City.
