Chemical peels are a powerful way to rejuvenate your skin and target a variety of aesthetic concerns from acne to fine lines. Want to learn more? Here are five reasons why the VI Peel might be the perfect addition to your skincare routine.

Looking for a way to refresh your skin as we head into the summer months? A chemical peel might be exactly what you need. It’s a simple, noninvasive treatment that can improve your complexion, minimize signs of aging, and give you that coveted lit-from-within glow all at once.

We offer the Vitality Institute (VI) Peel at Advanced Laser and Skin Cancer Center in Teaneck, New Jersey. It’s a professional-grade chemical peel designed to address a wide range of skin concerns with minimal downtime, and here are five reasons to book your chemical peel consultation today.

1. Improve uneven skin tone and texture

Chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the outer layers of your skin to reveal the smoother, more even skin beneath. The VI Peel is especially effective for treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other common forms of discoloration.

So if your skin tone looks blotchy or your skin texture feels rough, a peel can help restore balance and smoothness. Many people notice a brighter, more radiant complexion after just one treatment.

2. Reduce fine lines and signs of aging

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity and fine lines and wrinkles begin to form. A chemical peel stimulates collagen production by removing the outermost layers of dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover.

The VI Peel contains ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, and vitamin C, which are powerful agents that promote rejuvenation, liven your complexion, and help soften the appearance of fine lines over time.

3. Clear active acne and reduce acne scars

Chemical peels aren’t just for mature skin. They’re also a valuable treatment for teens and young adults struggling with acne.

The VI Peel includes salicylic acid, a proven acne-fighting ingredient that penetrates pores and reduces inflammation. It also helps remove dead skin cells that can clog your pores and contribute to breakouts.

And for those dealing with post-acne marks or shallow acne scars, a series of peels can significantly improve skin texture and tone.

4. Minimize the appearance of large pores

Large pores can make your skin more prone to acne and blackheads and contribute to an uneven appearance. Because chemical peels work by tightening your skin and promoting healthy cell turnover, treatment can help shrink the appearance of pores over time.

The VI Peel is formulated to refine the surface of your skin without causing harsh irritation, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin or large pores.

5. Enjoy brighter, more youthful-looking skin

One of the biggest benefits of a chemical peel is the glow that follows. By removing the dull, damaged outermost layer of your skin, peels allow your natural radiance to shine through. Whether you're preparing for a special event or just want to feel more confident in your skin, the VI Peel delivers results that are both immediate and long-lasting.

The VI Peel is versatile for all skin types, and we’re here to help you find the right skincare treatment plan for your skin goals. Curious about what a chemical peel can do for your skin?
