What is a VI Peel?

A VI peel is a type of chemical peel that improves overall skin quality. It works deeper than lighter treatments, which is why it’s considered a medium-depth peel.

Developed by the Vitality Institute, it combines ingredients like trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, kojic acid, and vitamin C. Together, they help remove dead skin cells, speed up cell turnover, and stimulate collagen for smoother, healthier skin.

The treatment is generally well tolerated and suitable for many skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. Different versions of the VI peel are used depending on your goals, whether that’s improving skin tone, treating acne, or softening early signs of aging.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have a specific outcome in mind and you're hesitant about choosing the right provider for something so important, keep reading. Dr. Rice was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Sometimes in a provider that also means you lose personability, but this was not the case. Her demeanor was kind, witty, and comfortable! I felt supported through the entire process from consultation to payment to procedure day. I had chin liposuction performed in-office in 2025. The recovery was minimal and exactly as Dr. Rice described. As the months passed, I continued to notice improvements, but now, 7 months later, I absolutely love my results. The difference in my side profile—especially my jawline—has been significant, and I'm so happy I chose to move forward with the procedure. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rice to anyone considering chin liposuction or looking for a provider who combines skill with genuine compassion.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Rice is truly exceptional. As a 2026 bride (September!) who recently moved back to Chicago, finding someone I could completely trust with my face for Botox and filler felt overwhelming. After seeing Dr. Rice, I honestly can't imagine going to anyone else. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Her warmth, empathy, and sense of humor made the experience just as enjoyable as the results themselves. I've had less-than-great experiences in the past, so finding a physician who values a natural, personalized approach has been invaluable. Every time I leave her office, I feel refreshed, confident, and like the best version of myself. If you're looking for the very best in the Chicagoland area, I cannot recommend Dr. Rice highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Rice is not only an excellent and thoughtful doctor, but also someone who practices real empathy and patience with her patients. I initially scheduled a consultation with her, but due to another appointment running over, I had to leave early to get to work, miss my botox treatment, and was understandably frustrated. Dr. Rice personally took the time to email me afterward to apologize, and that level of care and accountability truly made a difference. I decided to return for my appointment, and I’m so glad I did. The results were incredible, and the entire experience afterward completely restored my confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Rice to anyone looking for both exceptional results and compassionate care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve trusted Dr. Rice with several procedures, and her level of talent and consistency truly sets her apart. She has a refined eye for detail and balance, which is clearly reflected in her results. Most recently, I underwent facial fat grafting and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome—it’s subtle, beautifully balanced, and incredibly natural. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering facial fat grafting, especially if you’re seeking a refreshed, natural-looking result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There truly are not enough words to describe how exceptional Dr. Rice is. Choosing her for my procedures was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I share that with deep gratitude. I underwent a neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a very complex breast surgery that included a reduction, lift, Motiva implants, and mesh support, essentially a built-in internal bra. This was also my third breast surgery, so I came into this experience with a lot of perspective and very high expectations. After two previous surgeries with another surgeon that still left me far larger than I wanted, I knew how important it was to find someone with true technical mastery, vision, and precision. From the very first consultation, Dr. Rice made me feel completely heard, respected, and safe. She listened carefully to my goals, understood the nuances of my prior surgeries, and approached my case with an incredible level of thoughtfulness and detail. She never rushed me, explained everything thoroughly, and set realistic expectations while still instilling total confidence. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined. They are natural, beautifully proportioned, and truly life-changing. My neck and eyes look refreshed and elegant, not overdone, and my breast results are exactly what I had hoped for after years of trying to get it right. The internal mesh support alone has been transformative in terms of shape, lift, and long-term stability. Dr. Rice combines extraordinary surgical skill with meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for her patients. She holds herself to an incredibly high standard, and it shows in every aspect of her work and patient experience. If you are looking for a surgeon who delivers not only stunning results but also compassion, honesty, and precision, Dr. Rice is simply in a league of her own. I am profoundly grateful for her expertise and the life-changing work she has done for me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Rice performed a fat transfer to my breast and a tummy tuck almost three years ago. I’m 61 and have three children. So if you had kids, you know that upper fat is gone! I now have breasts that look better than when I was a teenager! Perky and Very Full still I had a few mammograms and did not mention the transfer, and they all came out great. I only lost around 30% of the initial fat. I was a fried egg flat  A/B cup and now I’m a full C cup with cleavage and everything!!! The top half is full and seamless , no indentations of fakeness at all!! Now  to the tummy tuck Girllll my tummy is snatched!! navel looks great and my scar looks like the V you have while wearing a thong!!! Flat, thin and smooth Oh and I forgot to mention, she removed the fat from my back, so my waist is snatched  too! I cannot thank her enough. So if you’re thinking about any of these procedures, she is the best. She’s  professional, knowledgeable, caring, kind, easy to talk to and cute too! Just like having your  girlfriend taking care of you. She is that girl!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I won a lip filler giveaway and my experience from beginning to end was amazing. Dr. Dahlia and Paula are so sweet, very thorough, and kept me informed along every step of the way. We did before and after pictures and the results were stunning. I’m so happy with the way my lips came out and have loved wearing lipstick again. I am looking forward to going back to DMR for any other cosmetic procedures I may want in the future. Thank you ladies!!!!

VI Peel Before and After Photos

VI Peel benefits

The VI peel facial is often chosen because it targets multiple skin concerns in one treatment, improving overall skin function rather than focusing on a single issue:

Improves skin texture and smoother texture
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Enhances skin tone and treats uneven tone
Helps fade sun spots, dark spots, and sun damage
Supports acne treatment and helps improve acne
Minimizes acne scarring
Regulates oil production and helps prevent breakouts
Promotes collagen production and improves elasticity vi
Creates a more radiant, healthy skin appearance

How Long Does a VI Peel Treatment Take?

A VI peel treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. It’s a relatively quick, in-office procedure that can be performed on the face or other areas of the body.

What Happens During a VI Peel Treatment?

VI peel treatments are chemical peels designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. A specialized solution is applied to exfoliate the outer layers of skin and stimulate cell turnover. This helps address concerns like uneven tone, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars. After treatment, some redness, peeling, or flaking is expected, and aftercare instructions are provided to support proper healing.

When Will You See VI Peel Results?

Results develop gradually over the following days to weeks as the skin renews itself. Patients often notice smoother texture, more even tone, and a more refreshed appearance. A consultation is recommended before your first treatment to determine the most appropriate plan based on your skin type and goals.

VI peel after care instructions

After a VI peel session, your skin enters a healing phase, and proper aftercare plays a key role in your results:

Applying a post peel protectant to calm and protect the skin
Using gentle, non-irritating cleansers
Avoiding active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide for a few days
Following strict sun protection guidelines
Keeping the skin hydrated
Letting the peeling process happen naturally (no picking)

Sun exposure should be avoided, especially in the first few days when the skin is more sensitive. Patients with sensitive skin may experience a slightly stronger reaction, so products should be reintroduced gradually.

VI Peel downtime and recovery

The recovery process after a VI peel is generally straightforward, with changes happening over the first week:

Day 1–2: Mild redness, sometimes a mild tingling sensation
Day 3–5: Peeling begins as dead skin cells start to shed
Day 5–7: Fresh skin appears with a smoother texture

Most patients can continue their normal routine, though some prefer to stay home during the peak peeling phase.

Recovery can vary. Patients with more advanced skin concerns may experience more peeling, and those with acne-prone skin might notice temporary flare-ups. Keeping a consistent skincare routine can help support healing.

VI Peel Cost in Chicago

The VI peel cost varies depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan. While some patients need only one session, others may require a series of treatments for issues like acne scars, sun damage, or discoloration, which can affect the total cost. At DMR Aesthetics in Chicago, Dr. Dahlia Rice offers customized VI peel options with the following pricing:
