The Treatment

What Is a VI Peel and What Does It Treat?

VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel — the gold standard for tackling stubborn skin concerns with minimal downtime. At Templum Aesthetics & Wellness in Kirkland, WA, it’s one of our most sought-after treatments by clients from Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and all across Eastside King County.

Its proprietary formula combines five synergistic ingredients that penetrate both the epidermis and upper dermis, triggering deep renewal without the prolonged downtime of aggressive peels.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)
Retin-A
Salicylic Acid
Phenol
Vitamin C

This synergistic blend sets VI Peel apart from traditional chemical peels — it includes a built-in numbing agent, requires no pre-treatment conditioning, and is formulated to be safe even for melanin-rich skin tones that many other peels cannot safely treat.

The Science

How Does VI Peel Work?

Once applied, the VI Peel solution penetrates the epidermis and upper dermis, triggering five parallel biological processes simultaneously.

01
Controlled Exfoliation
Breaks down damaged surface cells and triggers precise, predictable shedding of the outer skin layers.
02
Collagen Stimulation
Activates fibroblast activity to increase natural collagen and elastin production for firmer, more resilient skin.
03
Melanin Inhibition
Suppresses melanin overproduction to reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma, and uneven tone.
04
Pore Clearing
Unclogs pores and reduces excess oil production to prevent future acne breakouts and minimize pore appearance.
05
Antioxidant Defense
Neutralizes free radicals with Vitamin C, protecting newly revealed skin against environmental damage.

Your Treatment Journey

What to Expect: Step by Step

Every appointment follows a careful four-step process designed for your safety, comfort, and optimal results.

Day 0–1 — Treatment Day
Application & Initial Reaction
Skin may appear slightly red or bronzed. Mild tingling subsides within hours. Peel stays on for 4–6 hours before your first wash at home.
Day 2–3
Internal Changes Underway
Skin tightens and may appear darker or bronzed. Peeling has not yet started — the peel is working beneath the surface.
Day 3–5 — Most Dramatic
Active Peeling Begins
Skin begins to lift and flake, typically starting around the mouth and spreading outward. Proper aftercare is critical during this phase.
Day 5–7
Peeling Completes — Fresh Skin Revealed
Active peeling finishes and glowing, renewed skin emerges underneath. Most patients see a noticeable difference in texture and tone.
Week 2–4
Continued Refinement
New skin continues to smooth, brighten, and even. Texture improves and radiance becomes more pronounced with each passing week.
Month 1–3
Maximum Results
Collagen production peaks and cellular turnover normalizes. Maximum visible results typically appear 1–2 months post-treatment.

Your VI Peel
Results Timeline

VI Peel follows a predictable, well-documented healing arc. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps Seattle and Eastside patients feel confident throughout the process.

For optimal outcomes, we recommend a series of 3–4 VI Peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with each treatment building cumulatively on the last.

Who It’s For

Is VI Peel Right for You?

VI Peel is one of the most versatile aesthetic treatments available — suitable for nearly every skin type, tone, and age group. Patients from Seattle to Issaquah choose it for its safety record and consistent, predictable results.

Acne & Acne Scars

Active breakouts and post-inflammatory marks. The VI Peel Purify formulation is specifically designed for acne-prone skin.

Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

Sun spots, age spots, melasma, and uneven tone. Melanin-inhibiting ingredients deliver visible brightening.

Signs of Aging

Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin firmness. Collagen stimulation restores a noticeably more youthful appearance.

Sun Damage & Photoaging

Rough texture, dull complexion, and UV-related damage accumulated from Seattle’s outdoor lifestyle.

Enlarged Pores & Oily Skin

Visible pores and excess oil production that makeup can’t fully conceal. VI Peel refines and minimizes pore appearance.

Dull or Tired-Looking Skin

Lack of radiance and vitality. VI Peel’s exfoliating action reveals luminous, glowing skin in a single treatment series.

VI Peel is specifically formulated to be safe for melanin-rich skin tones — making it ideal for the diverse communities of Seattle and Eastside King County.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a VI Peel cost in the Seattle or Kirkland area?

VI Peel pricing varies by the specific formulation chosen and the area being treated. A series of 3–4 peels is typically recommended for optimal outcomes, and we offer package pricing for series bookings. Personalized pricing is provided during your consultation at our Kirkland clinic — conveniently serving Seattle, Bellevue, and all of Eastside King County.

Is VI Peel painful? What will I feel during treatment?

VI Peel is very well-tolerated. Most patients experience only mild tingling during application that lasts about 2–3 minutes. The peel’s built-in numbing agent significantly reduces discomfort. After application, you may feel a slight tightness, but pain is uncommon. Many Seattle and Eastside clients describe it as one of the most comfortable peels they’ve experienced.

How long does the VI Peel appointment take?

The peel application itself takes approximately 20–30 minutes. Including your consultation, skin prep, and aftercare instructions, plan for a 45–60 minute appointment. You leave with the peel on your face and wash it off at home 4–6 hours later — making it easy to fit into a busy Seattle or Bellevue schedule.

How is VI Peel different from other chemical peels?

VI Peel stands apart in several key ways: it uses a unique synergistic multi-ingredient blend not found in traditional peels, requires no pre-treatment conditioning, includes a built-in numbing agent for comfort, and is specifically formulated to be safe for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick Types IV–VI) — making it one of the most inclusive chemical peels available. The results are more predictable and consistent than many single-ingredient peels.

Can VI Peel treat acne scars? How many treatments will I need?

Yes — VI Peel is highly effective for acne scarring, particularly the VI Peel Purify formulation. A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart can significantly reduce the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and shallow acne scars by stimulating collagen production and skin remodeling. Deeper scarring may benefit from combining VI Peel with microneedling treatments, also offered at our Kirkland clinic.

Do you serve patients from Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond?

Absolutely. The majority of our VI Peel clients travel from Seattle and the broader Eastside King County area — including Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Woodinville, and Mercer Island. Our Kirkland clinic is strategically located for easy access from I-405 and SR-520, making us the preferred medspa for chemical peel treatments across the Seattle metropolitan area.
