Hello Gorgeous Med Spa · Oswego, Illinois
VI Peel is a professional chemical peel planned for acne, discoloration, and the look of sun-worn skin. Hello Gorgeous matches the formula at a consult. Peeling is expected. Results vary.
These are the current VI Peel protocols. Hello Gorgeous confirms which one belongs on your skin. Another clinic’s before-and-after is not your outcome.
Pigment
The pigment-focused VI Peel. Considered for melasma, sun damage, and dark marks left after inflammation. Peptides are part of the current Precision formula. Response depends on the cause of the pigment and on sun protection afterward.
Considered for
Acne and marks
Considered when active breakouts and the discoloration they leave are both a concern. It does not replace prescription acne care when that is the right treatment.
Considered for
First peel
A starting VI Peel for early texture and tone changes, including clients who have not peeled before. Reactive or easily irritated skin is screened before any formula is chosen.
Considered for
Mature skin
A deeper VI Peel option, often discussed for lines, crepey texture, and skin that has not moved with lighter care. It is not the right depth for every skin type.
Considered for
Acne-prone skin
Aimed at oil, congestion, and acne-prone skin. Candidacy includes how inflamed the skin is that day. A flare, open skin, or infection is a reason to wait.
Considered for
Below the collarbone
A body VI Peel for discoloration, keratosis pilaris, body breakouts, and the look of stretch marks. The area is mapped at the visit. It will not remove a scar.
Considered for
VI Peel + neurotoxin
Lines, spots, and texture in one plan
ToxBooster is VI Peel’s name for doing a VI Peel before a neurotoxin injection. The peel is aimed at pigment, tone, and texture. The injection relaxes the muscles that fold the skin. They are planned together. Neither one is a promise of the other.
Considered for
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, Vitality Institute and Wendy Roberts, MD. The paper’s comparison uses about 30 days for the combination and about 7 days for neurotoxin alone, which is not the same window. Individual results vary.
The peel is applied in the treatment room. Skin can feel warm, tight, or look frosted. You leave with aftercare and sunscreen instructions.
Tightness and a darker, drier look are common before the peel lifts. Do not pick, scrub, or speed it up.
Visible peeling is the point of the treatment. Most face plans flake for several days. Body areas can take longer. Experiences differ.
Tone keeps settling after the flakes are gone. Daily SPF is required. A series is often planned, with spacing set at your visit.
Strict sunscreen, no picking, and pausing retinoids and scrubs are part of healing. Heat, workouts, and active products can make irritation worse. Pre and post care · VI Peel consent

VI Peel + neurotoxin
VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel used to improve tone, texture, acne, discoloration, and the look of photoaging. It causes controlled peeling. Results vary by skin, the condition being treated, home care, and how closely aftercare is followed.
Precision + Peptides, Purify with Precision + Peptides, Original, Advanced, Purify, and Body are the current formulas. Hello Gorgeous chooses one after looking at your skin, history, and goals. Not every formula is appropriate for every person.
VI Peel at Hello Gorgeous is physician-directed by Dr. Mukesh Arora, MD, Licensed Physician and Surgeon and Medical Director. The peel is performed by our clinical team. A consult comes before treatment.
Plan on visible flaking for several days, often about 3–7 days on the face. Redness, tightness, itching, and a temporary breakout can happen. Picking the skin raises the chance of marks and scars.
Pigment risk is part of the consult, including melanin-rich skin and melasma. The wrong peel, sun, or heat during healing can darken skin. We will say no when a peel is not the right next step.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active infection, open skin, a flare of eczema or dermatitis, sunburn, a known allergy to peel ingredients, and recent isotretinoin, waxing, or laser in the area are reasons to wait or to get clearance first.
ToxBooster means a VI Peel is done before a neurotoxin injection, so lines and discoloration can be treated in one plan. The peel still peels. The injection is dosed separately. Timing, brand, and whether you are a candidate are decided at the consult. A published study reported larger average changes with the combination. That is not a prediction of your result.
A single VI Peel and a series of 3 are quoted at your consult. Pricing depends on the formula and the area. It is not listed as a flat online special.
The peel itself shows up within the first week. Clearer tone, if it happens, is judged after healing and often after a series. Photos of other people are not a promise of your result.
We will look at the skin, name the formula if one fits, and tell you how many days to plan for peeling.
