VI Peel® in Plainfield, IL
Sun Damage, Post-Acne Marks, Uneven Tone. A Medical-Grade Peel That Reaches All Three.
Lighter peels resurface the very surface of the skin. The VI Peel® in Plainfield, IL, goes further. It is a medical-grade chemical peel treatment that penetrates into the dermis to reach concerns that surface exfoliation cannot address. For patients dealing with stubborn hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks that linger for months, or the kind of accumulated sun damage that topical brighteners have not moved, the VI Peel® produces results because it works at the depth where those concerns actually live. Five distinct formulations mean the right peel is matched to your specific skin type, tone, and concern rather than applied as a uniform solution.
EPA UV Index data for the Chicago metro area records moderate to high UV levels from June through August. Residents who spend outdoor weekends at Whalon Lake, along the DuPage River Trail, or at the Plainfield Festival of the Arts accumulate real UV exposure over those months, the kind that builds into sun damage, dark spots, and uneven tone over several summers. Fall in Plainfield is the ideal window to begin VI Peel® treatment: UV intensity has dropped, skin has time to heal without significant sun exposure, and patients see visible improvements by the time the social calendar accelerates. At AIH Aesthetics & Wellness, your provider selects the appropriate formulation after assessing your skin tone, concern type, and history.

Benefits of the VI Peel®
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
Your provider assesses skin type, tone, and concern. The appropriate formulation is selected, and the peeling process is fully explained before any treatment begins.
Preparation
Skin is cleansed and prepped. The peel solution is applied in the office in a few minutes. Mild tingling or stinging during application is common and brief.
Treatment
The VI Peel® is left on the skin, and you take home a complete post-treatment kit. Visible peeling typically begins two to three days after application.
Aftercare
Use only products from the post-treatment kit. Do not pick or pull peeling skin. Apply SPF consistently once skin has healed.
Recovery
Active peeling lasts four to seven days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the in-office application.
Who Is This For?
You may be a good candidate if you:
Are dealing with sun damage, dark spots, or uneven tone that topical products have not improved
Have acne-prone skin and want to address both active breakouts and post-acne marks
Are looking for a medium-depth chemical peel with a manageable at-home recovery
Have an event or occasion coming up, and want improved skin quality within a few weeks
Are in good overall health with no contraindications to chemical peel treatment
This treatment may not be appropriate for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, or have used certain oral acne medications recently. A health history review will take place during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results?
Active peeling typically lasts four to seven days. The improvement in tone and texture becomes visible once peeling is complete, with continued improvement over two to four weeks as the new skin matures.
How many sessions will I need?
Some patients achieve satisfactory results from a single session. For more significant concerns like melasma or advanced acne scarring, a series of two to three peels spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended.
Can the VI Peel® be used on darker skin tones?
Yes. The VI Peel® is formulated with darker Fitzpatrick skin types in mind, which distinguishes it from certain other medium-depth chemical peel options. Your provider will confirm suitability based on your specific tone and history.
Is the VI Peel® painful?
Application causes a mild tingling or brief stinging sensation that subsides within a few minutes. The peeling phase is not painful, though the skin may feel tight or sensitive during active shedding.
Why do many Plainfield patients start a VI Peel® in the fall?
Lower UV levels after summer give skin better healing conditions and reduce the risk of post-treatment pigmentation.
