VI Peel Chemical Peel Treatments
Medical-grade peels for clearer, smoother, more even skin — with visible results in as little as 7 days.
What Is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel developed by the Vitality Institute. It uses a precise blend of clinical-grade acids, vitamins, and targeted boosters to exfoliate damaged skin, stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, and address a wide range of skin concerns — all with manageable downtime and results you can actually see.
What sets the VI Peel apart is its ability to work safely across all skin tones and types — including deeper complexions that are often excluded from traditional peel protocols. At Nava Health, all three formulas are administered by trained aesthetic professionals within a medically supervised setting. Whether your concern is pigmentation, persistent acne, or the early signs of aging, we match the right peel to your skin.
How It Works
From your first consultation to your final reveal — here is what the process looks like at Nava Health.

The Three VI Peel Formulas
VI Peel Precision + Peptides
For Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Targets stubborn dark spots, melasma, and sun damage. Powered by smart peptide technology and Hexylresorcinol — clinically superior to hydroquinone — to suppress melanin and restore an even, radiant tone. Safe for all skin tones.
VI Peel Purify with Precision + Peptides
For Acne & Post-Acne Marks
A dual-action formula that clears active breakouts, reduces oil and congested pores, and fades the dark marks that acne leaves behind. Smart peptides calm inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier so breakouts are less likely to return.
VI Peel Advanced
For Fine Lines & Aging Skin
Formulated specifically for maturing skin. Penetrates deeper to stimulate significant collagen production — softening fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin firmness, and restoring the radiance that gradually fades with age. Ideal for patients 40+.
Benefits of VI Peel at Nava Health
When VI Peel is properly matched to your skin and administered by a trained provider, the results go well beyond what a topical skincare routine can deliver.
- Visibly reduced pigmentation and dark spots: Melanin suppression and rapid cell turnover work together to fade discoloration and restore even tone.
- Clearer, less congested skin: Excess oil, bacteria, and clogged pores are cleared — resulting in fewer breakouts and more balanced skin over time.
- Softer fine lines and improved firmness: Collagen stimulation rebuilds the structural support that keeps skin firm, reducing the visibility of lines and wrinkles.
- Smoother, more refined skin texture: Exfoliation removes the damaged outer layers, revealing fresher skin with a noticeably improved surface.
- Brighter, more radiant complexion: Antioxidant brighteners and accelerated cell renewal restore a natural glow within the first week.
- Safe for all skin tones: All three formulas are tested and approved for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI — no one is excluded.

How VI Peel Works on Your Skin
Every VI Peel formula at Nava Health works through the same core mechanism — controlled exfoliation that removes damaged outer skin and triggers your body’s natural process of building fresh, healthier skin in its place. The difference between the three formulas lies in what additional active ingredients are layered on top of that base.
Each peel solution is applied during your 30-minute in-office appointment and left on for 4 to 6 hours. During that time, the clinical-grade ingredients penetrate the skin at a medium depth — beyond the surface layer — where they initiate a cascade of repair and renewal. Visible peeling begins on days 2 through 4 and resolves by day 7, revealing the results underneath.
- Deep Exfoliation: TCA, salicylic acid, and phenol break down and shed damaged skin cells, triggering your body's natural regeneration cycle.
- Collagen Stimulation: Retinoic acid and Vitamin C activate collagen production — the structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth.
- Melanin Regulation: In the Precision + Peptides and Purify formulas, active brighteners suppress the enzyme pathways that produce excess pigmentation.
- Barrier Repair: Smart peptides calm inflammation, reinforce the skin barrier, and support the skin's own long-term repair mechanisms.
- Accelerated Cell Turnover: Retinoic acid speeds up the cycle of skin renewal — damaged cells shed, fresh cells emerge, and tone and texture improve progressively.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to find out is through a skin consultation with one of our Nava Health aesthetic providers. As a general guide: if your main concern is pigmentation, sun damage, or melasma, the VI Peel Precision + Peptides is typically the right starting point. If you are managing acne and post-acne marks, the VI Peel Purify with Precision + Peptides is built for you. If fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness are your focus, the VI Peel Advanced is designed for maturing skin. Your provider will walk you through the right choice at your consultation.
Most patients find the VI Peel very comfortable. You may notice mild tingling or warmth during the application — this passes quickly and does not require any numbing or anesthesia. After your appointment, your skin may feel slightly tight or look a little pink. This is a normal part of the process and settles within a day or two.
Yes. All three VI Peel formulas we offer are tested and approved for all Fitzpatrick skin types — including deeper complexions. This is one of the key reasons we selected the VI Peel line for Nava Health. Many professional peel systems are not appropriate for darker skin tones, but the VI Peel was specifically formulated to be inclusive across all types.
Plan for five to seven days of visible peeling. The most active phase — when skin sheds the most — runs from around day three through day five. Most patients are comfortable in social settings by day seven or eight. A practical tip: schedule your peel on a Thursday or Friday so the heaviest peeling days fall over a weekend.
Many patients see meaningful improvement after a single VI Peel. For persistent pigmentation, moderate acne scarring, or more established fine lines, a series of two to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart tends to deliver the best long-term results. Your Nava Health provider will help you set realistic expectations and build a plan during your consultation.
Yes, in most cases VI Peel treatments can be combined or alternated with other services we offer — such as HydraFacial, PRX Derm Perfexion, or microneedling — to build a comprehensive skin health plan. Your provider will guide you on the right sequencing and timing so the treatments complement rather than compete with each other.
