Treatment Overview
“A true industry leader, Dr Abdala F. Kalil formulated the VI Peel™, the first chemical peel that “tamed’ and synergistically combined major acids into a pain-free formulation, and launched the next generation of chemical peels.”
Unlike other chemical skin peels, the VI Peel™ is virtually painless, requires no skin pre-conditioning, and has minimal downtime post-procedure. VI peels are also suitable for the face and body, with the most commonly treated body areas being the arms, chest, back, legs, elbows, and knees.
The VI Peel™ 7-Day Exfoliation process quickly achieves dramatic, visible results, effectively addressing all skin concerns: Reversing sun damage, treating hyperpigmentation, including melasma, acne and acne scarring, ageing skin, and mild to moderate rosacea.
The Science
The VI Peel™ Skin Treatment – A medium-depth, self-neutralising chemical skin peel range designed to target the dermis layer of the skin for optimum results. The stimulation induced by the acid at this tissue layer, where collagen and elastin are formed, forces the skin to regenerate, renewing itself on a cellular level. Medium-depth acid peels with deeper penetration than superficial peels, such as AHA’s, eliminate the upper layer of dead and damaged cells for a fresher, more youthful appearance. VI Peels are a safe, effective approach to achieving healthier and younger-looking skin, providing superior results for all Fitzpatrick skin types.

Before Your Treatment
A comprehensive consultation is conducted at the beginning of every patient’s journey. This consultation involves filling out essential paperwork, including a medical health history questionnaire, which is crucial in determining the suitability of treatment. Additionally, the consultation includes a thorough discussion to establish the patient’s treatment motivations, expectations, and desired outcomes; this helps determine the best treatment solution and an individual program that caters to each patient’s specific needs.
Booking your initial treatment appointment on the same day as the consultation may be possible in some instances. However, this will depend on the specific treatment needed. It is naturally important and advised to take some time to carefully consider our recommendations and then return at a later date for the treatment appointment.
Your Treatment
Upon arriving for your scheduled treatment appointment, your medical history will be carefully reviewed to ensure accuracy. Your practitioner will then explain the intended treatment procedure in detail to ensure it is fully understood and expected. Only after obtaining your consent to proceed will the treatment be administered. You are always welcome and encouraged to ask any questions or raise any concerns at any point during the process.
Your treatment will be conducted in one of our opulent, state-of-the-art treatment rooms. Our practitioner will escort you through each phase of the treatment, guaranteeing your comfort and safety, which are always of utmost importance. We make extensive efforts to prioritise your safety and well-being above everything else, so you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
At each treatment, as part of your medical records, before-and-after photos are taken to illustrate the progress and outcome of your treatment.
After Your Treatment
Once your treatment is complete, we will review the initial results and guide you through the aftercare plan. Before you leave the clinic, we will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions, both verbally and in writing. Additionally, we will provide you with any necessary aftercare products or accessories to achieve optimal results.
We provide touch-up cosmetics, cleansers, and moisturisers to help you refresh after treatment and resume your schedule.

Testimonial
“I can't believe the difference after my VI Peels! I’ve struggled with an uneven skin tone and enlarged pores for years, and nothing worked until now. After my first peel, I noticed a subtle glow, but by the fourth treatment, my skin completely transformed. My complexion is even and smooth. The peeling process was easy to manage, and the results are worth every penny. I feel like my skin is glowing and healthier than ever. Highly recommend! ”
