What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are specialized cosmetic solutions designed to address concerns like uneven skin tone, rough texture, discoloration, and signs of aging by gently exfoliating the damaged surface layers and stimulating the skin's natural renewal processes. At Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics, we're bringing chemical peel treatments to another level with the VI Peel®, an advanced medium-depth peel that addresses multiple skin concerns at once. Unlike more aggressive peels that sometimes require significant downtime, the VI Peel is formulated to provide noticeable skin rejuvenation while remaining suitable for many different skin types and tones. Learn more about our skin care treatments and schedule your VI Peel appointment by contacting one of our practice locations in Orland Park or Frankfort, IL today.
How Are VI Peels Performed?
Following your consultation with one of our experienced aesthetic providers, we'll have you lie back in a comfortable position as we gently cleanse your skin and prepare the chemical peel for application. A member of our team will carefully brush the VI Peel solution onto the skin, working in layers as it activates and penetrates beneath the surface. The solution features a built-in topical anesthetic, so while you may notice a brief tingling or stinging sensation at first, any discomfort should pass quickly. Unlike other chemical peels, VI Peels are not washed off right after treatment, though you can wash your skin at home 4 – 6 hours after your appointment. Over the next few days, your surface skin will start to flake and peel, unveiling a healthier, clearer, more radiant complexion underneath.
What Are the Benefits of VI Peels?
Healthy skin is constantly renewing itself, but that process naturally slows over time. VI Peels are specially formulated to encourage skin rejuvenation while clearing surface-level damage for noticeable improvements in tone, texture, clarity, and overall radiance. Whether performed as a one-time treatment ahead of a big event or incorporated into a long-term skin care routine, VI Peels offer a wide range of benefits, including:
- Brightening dull or uneven skin tone
- Softening fine lines and early wrinkles
- Smoothing rough skin texture
- Reducing the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or melasma
- Improving the appearance of acne scars
- Helping clear active acne and congestion
- Minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores
- Stimulating healthier skin renewal
- Creating a more even, radiant complexion
- Refreshing your skin with minimal downtime

Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels
How do chemical peels work?
Chemical peels use a specialized solution to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin and encourage the growth of healthier new skin. As the treated skin naturally sheds over several days, it is replaced by smoother, brighter skin with improved tone and texture.
What makes the VI Peel different from other chemical peels?
The VI Peel is formulated to treat multiple skin concerns with a single treatment, including acne, discoloration, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture. It's also designed to be well tolerated by many different skin types and skin tones, making it an effective option for a wide range of patients.
How often should chemical peels be scheduled?
Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance peels several times a year. Your provider at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics will recommend a schedule based on your skin concerns and desired results.
What types of skin concerns can chemical peels address?
The VI Peel is designed to treat multiple concerns at the same time rather than focusing on just one. It can help improve acne and acne scars, soften fine lines, reduce discoloration caused by sun damage or melasma, smooth rough skin texture, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion.
What happens during a VI Peel treatment?
Your provider will begin by cleansing your skin before applying the VI Peel solution. The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, and you can return home immediately afterward. Over the next several days, your skin will gradually peel as damaged surface layers are replaced by healthier, refreshed skin. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help protect your skin and maximize your results.
