Noctis Aurora offers the VI Peel as “a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel designed to renew and refine the skin,” for acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture and visible signs of aging. It costs $300, travel fee included. Here is where it sits among peels and what the week after usually looks like.
Light, medium and deep
The American Academy of Dermatology sorts chemical peels by depth. A light peel takes about 1 to 7 days to heal; a medium peel about 7 to 14; a deep peel 14 to 21 days, and a deep peel is done under general anesthesia. The deeper the peel, the more it can do, and the more downtime it asks for.
The week after
VI, the company that makes the peel, sets out a typical timeline on its treatments page: light flaking around the second day, peeling from about day three to day five, and the process done by around day seven. Plan the week with that in mind. Pick a stretch without photographs or a big event, and let the skin come away on its own.
The VI Peel FAQ says the peel is applied by a trained VI provider and comes with a post-peel kit. Ask at your consultation what you should use, and avoid, until the peeling is finished.
Booking it
Every first-time client completes a virtual consultation before any treatment. After that, request the VI Peel online, choose a time, and enter your address in the booking summary’s note section. Noctis Aurora also sells Skinbetter Science skincare; skincare is non-refundable, so ask which products suit your skin before you buy.
The treatment page is the VI Peel; for an alternative that works by a different route, see microneedling. Results vary, as the policies say.
