Medical-grade VI Peel for hyperpigmentation in Highlands Ranch

VI Peel in Highlands Ranch, CO

Looking for a VI Peel in Highlands Ranch? Highlands Spa offers the VI Peel, a medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peel applied by our licensed nurse practitioner and registered nurses. It is designed to lift away damaged, pigmented surface cells so fresher, more even skin can form underneath, with mild warmth and tingling during application rather than burning.

VI Peel has five face formulas, and your provider chooses the one that fits your skin and goals: stubborn pigment and melasma, active or hormonal acne, sensitive or first-time peel skin, or mature skin with deeper lines. Because every formula is made to be safe for all skin tones, it is a strong option for melanin-rich skin that many stronger peels can’t safely treat.

Your VI Peel is $299 per treatment, and you go home with the VI Peel post-peel kit and clear day-by-day instructions. Most clients see a brighter, smoother complexion after a single peel, with the best results from a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

We proudly serve clients throughout Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Littleton, Castle Pines, Parker, Centennial and the surrounding Denver metro area.

How a VI Peel Works

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates deeper than a standard facial peel to correct pigment, acne and signs of aging. It is applied in layers with gauze, takes no needles or numbing, and leaves skin looking slightly tan and glowy before a few days of light peeling reveal brighter, smoother skin.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a VI Peel?

  • Anyone with dark spots, sun damage or uneven skin tone
  • Clients with melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Teens and adults with active or hormonal acne
  • Anyone with post-acne marks or shallow acne scarring
  • Adults with fine lines, wrinkles or rough texture
  • All skin tones, including darker and melanin-rich skin
  • First-time peel clients with sensitive skin

VI Peel vs. our esthetician chemical peels. Our glycolic, hydrating and TCA chemical peels are lighter peels done by our estheticians. The VI Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade peel applied by our nurse practitioner or registered nurses, chosen when you want stronger correction of pigment, acne or aging with about a week of peeling.

Pair it with other treatments. VI Peels can be alternated with PDRN microneedling every 4–6 weeks (not on the same day) for acne scars, texture and pigment. Ask your provider whether a combined plan fits your goals.

Your Treatment Journey: Before, After & Aftercare

01

Before Your Appointment

  • Stop retinoids, retinol, tretinoin and exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) for 3–5 days before your peel, or as your provider directs.
  • Avoid sunburn, tanning beds and self-tanner before your appointment.
  • Skip waxing, laser and aggressive exfoliation on the face for at least 7 days, and eyebrow threading for 10–14 days.
  • Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products.
  • Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to aspirin, hydroquinone or phenol, or have taken Accutane (isotretinoin) in the past 6 months.
  • Also tell us about a history of cold sores, eczema, autoimmune or liver conditions, or chemotherapy or radiation in the past 6 months.
  • Please reschedule if you have an active cold sore, open wound or skin infection.

    Please Note: A short consultation before your first VI Peel lets our provider choose the right formula and confirm the peel is safe for you.

02

After Your Appointment

  • First 4 hours: leave the peel on. No washing, makeup or products, including sunscreen.
  • Nights 1 and 2: apply the post-peel towelettes from your kit as directed.
  • Days 1–2: skin may look slightly tan or flushed; light flaking can start around day 2.
  • Days 3–5: peeling is most noticeable. Do not pick or pull; trim loose skin with small, clean scissors.
  • Days 6–7: peeling eases and most clients have finished peeling by day 7.
  • Avoid direct sun for 7 days and wear SPF 50 and a hat outdoors.
  • Avoid exercise and heavy sweating for 72–96 hours (the full 7 days if you have melasma), and swimming for 7–10 days.
