At Balm Beauty Studio, we believe in treatments that don’t just create a temporary glow, but actually change the skin at a deeper level. That’s why the VI Peel has become one of our most-loved treatments for brightening, smoothing, and transforming the complexion with minimal downtime.
The VI Peel is considered a medium-depth chemical peel, which means it reaches the careful point where real skin regeneration happens: the dermal-epidermal junction. This is where pigment, texture, and collagen activity are influenced most.
When melanin (the pigment in our skin) becomes uneven—due to sun exposure, inflammation, or hormones—we see dark spots, melasma, and uneven tone. The VI Peel helps by lifting the pigment-carrying skin cells and encouraging fresh, healthier cells to rise to the surface. The result is brighter, clearer, smoother skin that looks and feels renewed.
What is especially beautiful about this treatment is that it is:
This is a treatment you feel good about—not because it forces a result, but because it supports the skin’s natural repair process.
The peel is applied in studio and stays on the skin for several hours before you rinse at home. Peeling typically begins around day two or three. During this time, the skin is shedding dull, damaged outer layers to reveal healthier skin beneath.
We provide a complete aftercare kit and walk you through how to support the process so your results are smooth, not flaky or uncomfortable.
Most clients notice:
There isn’t just one VI Peel—there are several formulations that target different skin goals. During your consultation, your provider will help determine the right one for your skin’s current state and long-term plan.
Here is what each version is designed for:
Best for: First-time peel users, reactive or sensitive skin, early signs of aging
This peel gently brightens, smooths, and refreshes the skin. It’s ideal if you’ve never had a peel before or want to maintain healthy cellular turnover.
Think of it as a reset button—subtle, glowing results without intensity.
Best for: Skin showing more noticeable aging (typically 35+), decreased firmness, lines
This peel supports collagen production and improves elasticity. It softens fine lines and helps the skin appear more lifted and refined.
A thoughtful, skin-strengthening approach to aging with grace.
Best for: Melasma, sun spots, hormone-related pigmentation, post-acne dark marks
This is one of the most effective peel formulations available for stubborn hyperpigmentation. It targets the pathways where pigment forms, helping fade discoloration and even skin tone.
Especially powerful for those who have tried “brightening products” that didn’t do enough.
Best for: Active breakouts, oily or congested skin, teen or adult acne
This peel helps calm inflammation, clear clogged pores, and reduce bacteria. It brings balance to overactive or irritated skin without stripping.
A supportive acne treatment that respects and heals the skin barrier.
Best for: Acne + post-acne scarring/dark marks
This version treats breakouts and the uneven tone they leave behind. It’s a thoughtful dual approach to clearer, brighter skin.
Because acne often comes with discoloration, and both deserve care.
You’ll leave the studio with the peel on your skin and rinse at home as directed. Peeling usually begins around day 2–3 and lasts about 3–7 days.
