The VI Peel Process

What to Expect

01

Consultation

This isn’t a rushed chat or a sales pitch. It’s your chance to connect with a Younique skincare professional, who is fully focused on your skin’s story. They’ll take time to understand your unique challenges, explain how the VI Peel works, and outline what results are realistic, so you walk away informed, comfortable, and confident in your plan.

02

Procedure

Expect a calm, no-fuss experience. Your provider applies the VI Peel solution smoothly, and it works immediately by penetrating the top layer of skin and stimulating regeneration underneath. It’s a fast, effective treatment with serious results, especially after a full series.

Recovery

Post-peel care is key. While the downtime is minimal, this is the phase where your skin is most vulnerable and ready for change. You’ll want to avoid heat, sun, and harsh products. Instead, embrace a soothing, protective routine. In just a few days, your fresh layer emerges—brighter and more youthful.
