What Does a Chemical Peel Do?

A chemical peel uses an exfoliating solution to remove surface buildup. Different formulas focus on concerns such as rough texture, breakouts, and uneven tone.

VI Peel Options at Koru

VI Peel Advanced

Texture & Visible Signs of Aging

Focuses on fine lines, rough texture, and reduced firmness for a smoother-looking surface.

VI Peel Precision + Peptides

Dark Marks & Uneven Tone

A pigment-focused formula for uneven tone and dark marks from sun exposure or past inflammation. It may also form part of a melasma treatment plan.

VI Peel Purify with Precision + Peptides

Breakouts & Post-Acne Marks

Addresses breakouts and their lingering dark marks together, for oily, congested, acne-prone skin with post-acne discoloration.

VI Peel Body

Body Skin & Texture

A formula for areas below the neck, with options for body breakouts, uneven pigmentation, and rough or bumpy texture. The area treated determines the appointment and recovery plan.

Peels can improve the appearance of some marks and texture changes, but they do not erase every type of scar. We may discuss a different or combined approach for deeper scarring. Read about the VI Peel formulas (opens in a new tab).

Other Chemical Peel Options

Koru also offers customized chemical peels and DiamondGlow-and-peel combinations. We'll recommend a formula and strength based on your skin and previous treatments.

Explore DiamondGlow combination appointments.

Planning for Recovery

With a facial VI Peel, visible peeling often starts around day three and continues for several days. Timing and the amount of peeling vary; body areas can follow a different schedule. Plan ahead for important events rather than assuming you'll be finished peeling on a particular day.

We'll review preparation and aftercare, including sun protection and which products or activities to pause. Follow the instructions provided for your specific peel, and contact us with concerns during recovery. VI Peel recovery information (opens in a new tab).

Your Appointment

Facial VI Peel appointments are offered with Dr. Chin and with Satoe, LE; select the provider and service you intend to book. We recommend a consultation before a new treatment and will confirm suitability, the expected outcome, and pricing before proceeding.
