Advanced Chemical Peel for Fine Lines, Texture & Skin Rejuvenation
VI Peel Advanced is a professional chemical peel designed for patients who want to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, rough texture, sun-related skin changes, and other visible signs of skin aging.
The treatment uses a combination of exfoliating ingredients to help remove damaged surface skin cells and encourage skin renewal, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin.
At Yolanda C. Holmes, M.D., P.C., VI Peel Advanced treatments are provided by Hanna Mitchell, Master Aesthetician and Certified Laser Specialist, who has more than 25 years of experience in aesthetic skincare and treatments.
Hanna evaluates your skin, concerns, previous treatments, and goals to determine whether VI Peel Advanced is appropriate for you.
VI Peel Advanced is a professional chemical peel designed for patients who want a more comprehensive approach to visible signs of skin aging and sun-related skin changes.
It may be considered for concerns such as:
The treatment provides controlled exfoliation of the skin while supporting the skin's natural renewal process.
Fine lines can become more noticeable as the skin changes with age and cumulative sun exposure.
VI Peel Advanced may help improve the appearance of superficial fine lines by resurfacing the outer layers of the skin.
Sun exposure, aging, and other factors can contribute to an uneven complexion.
The peel may help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and create a more uniform-looking skin tone.
Accumulated dead skin cells can make the skin feel rough or appear dull.
Controlled chemical exfoliation helps remove surface buildup and may leave the skin looking smoother.
As skin cells accumulate on the surface, the complexion can appear less radiant.
Exfoliation can help reveal fresher-looking skin underneath.
Repeated sun exposure can contribute to uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and premature visible aging.

Both VI Peel Original and VI Peel Advanced can address multiple skin concerns.
VI Peel Original is a versatile option for patients looking to improve overall skin tone, texture, clarity, and visible signs of skin aging.

The most appropriate peel depends on your individual skin concerns and treatment goals.
These treatments have different primary focuses.
VI Peel Advanced is primarily focused on overall skin rejuvenation, including fine lines, texture, and signs of skin aging.
VI Peel Precision Plus is more specifically focused on pigmentation and discoloration, including dark spots and certain types of hyperpigmentation.

Chemical peels can be performed on a variety of skin tones, but treatment should be carefully individualized.
Patients with darker skin may have a greater tendency to develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following inflammation or irritation.
Appropriate peel selection, treatment planning, and aftercare are therefore particularly important.
Hanna considers your skin tone, pigmentation history, sensitivity, and current skin condition before recommending treatment.
For patients with significant pigmentation concerns or a history of difficult-to-treat hyperpigmentation, Dr. Holmes may recommend a medical dermatology evaluation.
