VI Peel

VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel treatment often used to improve dull texture, uneven tone, congestion, post-acne marks, and certain signs of photodamage. The strength of the treatment is not just in exfoliation. It is in choosing the right patient, the right timing, and the right post-peel plan so skin renewal happens in a controlled and useful way.

• Brighter-looking skin when the complexion feels dull or uneven
• Smoother texture when roughness or surface congestion is part of the concern
• Support for acne-prone skin or lingering post-breakout discoloration
• Improvement in the look of certain pigment concerns when paired with careful aftercare
• A structured reset for patients whose home routine is no longer enough on its own

Good candidates are patients who want more meaningful skin renewal than a basic facial but still need a treatment plan tailored around sensitivity, pigment risk, and recovery timing. Many Encino patients ask about VI Peel when they want help with acne marks, rough texture, early sun damage, or a complexion that feels stagnant despite regular skincare.

At NPMD, VI Peel is considered alongside other skin-renewal options such as Hydrafacial, Dermaplaning Facial, and other peel or facial-maintenance strategies. If your skin is too reactive, currently inflamed, or better served by a different treatment path, we guide you there instead.

Your visit begins with a skin review focused on current concerns, prior peel history, active products, recent sun exposure, and how much downtime feels realistic. That helps us decide whether VI Peel is appropriate now, whether the skin should be prepped first, and how the recovery should be planned around work, events, and travel.

If VI Peel is the right fit, we review what application day looks like, when peeling often starts, and what post-treatment care matters most. We also explain why the aftercare and sun protection phase is part of the treatment itself, not an optional extra.

Patients should expect a recovery period that can include dryness, tightness, peeling, and temporary sensitivity. We set expectations clearly around timing because some patients peel more noticeably than others, and the social side of recovery matters just as much as the technical side when you are deciding whether this is the right week to do it.

Results are judged over time rather than on the first day the skin starts to flake. We review when to moisturize, when to avoid picking, how to protect the skin barrier, and why sun exposure after a peel can work against the result you are trying to create.

• Physician-guided treatment selection based on pigment risk, skin reactivity, and realistic downtime
• A broader skin strategy that can combine peel planning with facials, acne care, and long-term maintenance
• Clear aftercare guidance so recovery is managed intentionally, not left to guesswork
• Concierge-style consultation that focuses on skin health and durable improvement instead of a one-off “glow” pitch

If you are considering VI Peel in Encino and want a medically guided plan for smoother, clearer, and more even-looking skin, our team can help you decide whether VI Peel fits your current concerns and how it should be timed within your overall skin routine.
