I’ve been to a number of different places for face treatments in California and really liked Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing I received with my dermatologist many years ago. I went in for a consultation at SMooth Solutions Medspa and met with the owner. I was very quickly impressed by her knowledge, not only of the treatments, but the underlying mechanics of the machines. We spoke about what I was looking for and she provided a treatment unique to my needs. I am about 1 week post-treatment and I can already see some improvements. To be fair tho, this stuff really takes multiple months to really see the benefits, but it is already noticeably better than when I had treatments at LaserAway.

Your Personalized VI Peel Results
The VI Peel offers a structured, medical-grade approach to improving overall skin health and appearance. By combining powerful ingredients that promote exfoliation, collagen stimulation, and cellular renewal, results develop progressively and are tailored to your specific skin concerns.
Reduction In Hyperpigmentation & Melasma
The VI Peel is highly effective for addressing stubborn pigmentation concerns, including melasma and sun damage. By accelerating cell turnover and regulating melanin production, it helps visibly lighten dark spots and create a more even skin tone.
Acne Control & Clearer Skin
For acne-prone skin, VI Peel formulations target bacteria, reduce excess oil, and unclog pores. This helps calm active breakouts while also preventing future acne and minimizing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Smoother Texture & Brighter Complexion
By removing damaged outer layers of skin, the VI Peel reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in glow, softness, and overall radiance after peeling is complete.
Reduction In Fine Lines & Signs Of Aging
The combination of TCA, retinoic acid, and other active ingredients stimulates collagen production, helping to soften fine lines, improve skin firmness, and restore a more youthful appearance over time.
Improved Skin Clarity & Evenness
As the skin renews, tone becomes more balanced and refined. Clients often notice reduced blotchiness, improved clarity, and a more uniform complexion with each treatment.
Long-Term Skin Maintenance & Renewal
With consistent treatments and proper aftercare, the VI Peel supports long-term skin health. Ongoing maintenance helps sustain results, prevent recurring concerns, and keep your skin looking clear, smooth, and revitalized.

Continued Correction With VI Peel®
- Progressive Skin Renewal: The VI Peel continues to improve your skin even after the initial treatment, as cell turnover accelerates and damaged skin is replaced with healthier, clearer skin.
- Improved Evenness: As pigmentation fades and inflammation reduces, the skin becomes more balanced, with a smoother and more consistent tone.
- Brighter, Clearer Complexion: By targeting multiple layers of the skin, the VI Peel helps reveal a visibly brighter, more refreshed complexion.
- Smoother Texture: As collagen production increases, skin feels softer, smoother, and more refined over time.
- Long-Term Skin Health: With proper aftercare and sun protection, results are maintained while helping prevent future skin concerns.
Significant improvement in discoloration, texture, and overall skin clarity develops over the weeks following your treatment. The VI Peel works beyond the surface by combining exfoliation with active ingredients that stimulate collagen and support ongoing skin renewal.
This approach allows for gradual, natural-looking improvement. Many clients notice visible changes within the first week, with continued enhancement in brightness, smoothness, and overall skin quality as treatments progress.
Our Difference? Medical Precision, Structured Protocol, Evidence-Based Skin Renewal.
At SMooth Solutions Medspa, we focus on more than surface-level treatments. The VI Peel is part of a medically guided approach designed to safely improve skin tone, texture, and clarity across all skin types.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment, each peel is selected based on your skin concerns, whether that includes pigmentation, acne, or signs of aging. This personalized approach ensures safe, predictable, and effective results.
By combining expert assessment, customized treatment selection, and proper aftercare, we help you achieve healthier, clearer skin with results that are both visible and long-lasting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the VI Peel painful?
No. The VI Peel is virtually painless. Most clients feel mild tingling or a brief warming sensation during application that subsides within minutes. No numbing cream is required.
How long does peeling last?
Peeling typically begins on day three and lasts three to five days. During this time you may see yellowish, brownish, or reddish tones in the peeling skin. This is normal. Once peeling is complete, you will see noticeably clearer, smoother, more radiant skin underneath.
Is the VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. The VI Peel is one of the few medium-depth chemical peels specifically formulated to be safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones. We will assess your skin at consultation and may recommend the Precision Plus formulation for those with a tendency toward post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How many VI Peel treatments will I need?
Many clients see significant improvement after a single treatment. For more stubborn concerns like melasma, deeper acne scarring, or significant sun damage, a series of two to four peels spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance treatments two to four times per year help sustain and build on your results.
Can I combine the VI Peel with other treatments?
Yes. The VI Peel can be combined with Botox, dermal fillers, LED phototherapy, and other non-ablative treatments on a schedule recommended by your provider. It is generally not combined with laser treatments at the same appointment but can be alternated as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Combinable Treatments
The VI Peel pairs well with a range of professional skincare treatments that enhance results, improve skin renewal, and support long-term skin health. Combining treatments can help accelerate exfoliation, boost collagen production, and improve overall skin clarity.
Treatments such as microneedling, LED phototherapy, and customized medical-grade skincare can complement the VI Peel by improving product absorption, calming inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier. When used strategically, these combinations can enhance brightness, smooth texture, and optimize your overall results.
Our combination treatment plans may also include customized packages based on your skin concerns. During your consultation, we will recommend the most effective approach tailored to your goals, whether you are addressing pigmentation, acne, or signs of aging.
