Introducing VI Peel: 

​

The VI Peel® portfolio systems contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients suitable for a variety of skin types. The peel improves the tone, texture and clarity of the skin. It reduces or eliminates solar lentigines (age spots), treats hyperpigmentation (including melasma), and softens fine lines and wrinkles. The VI Peel® is also an excellent choice to address acne and reduce or eliminate acne scars. The VI Peel® stimulates the production of collagen, for healthier, firmer more youthful skin. This self-neutralizing peel provides dramatic results with virtually no pain, no skin preparation and minimal downtime. Suitable for a variety of skin types and conditions and is safe for face and body treatments.

​

VI Peel was developed by VI aesthetics in 2000.  Dr. Abdala F. Khalil and team founded VI Aesthetics with the mission to restore and renew their customers’ confidence in their own skin health with a portfolio of chemical peels that specifically address a variety of skin concerns including anti-aging, pigmentation and acne. The result was the VI Peel®, the first ever painless chemical peel. 

​

Current president and CEO Marya Khalil, the once acneic teenager and daughter of Dr. Khalil, states “My father’s dedication to solving my acne has become a company-wide devotion to addressing acne and pigmentation, reversing the signs of aging, and repairing sun damage with our professional revolutionary skincare systems that deliver results. With our VI Peel® portfolio, you will see stunning transformations. We aim to deliver confidence through effective skincare treatments and products.”

​

VI Aesthetics offers an effective approach to achieving healthier and younger looking skin and provides superior results for all skin types and conditions. Unlike other chemical peels, the VI Peel® treatments are easy to apply, virtually painless, require no skin pre-conditioning, and deliver results in as little as 7 days. These peels are also multi-taskers, nurturing skin with vitamins and minerals while going through the exfoliation process.
