At Fresh Faces Rx, we believe skin care isn’t about chasing youth—it’s about embracing change, letting go of shame, and choosing how you want to feel in your skin. Chemical peels are one of the simplest, most powerful ways to do just that. From brightening and smoothing to softening lines or clearing acne, our peels are customized for your unique skin type, tone, and journey. We don’t use treatments to erase age—we use them to uncover vitality that was there all along.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are medical-grade exfoliating treatments that use carefully blended acids to gently remove the outer layers of dead, dull skin—stimulating collagen production,
improving tone and texture, and restoring glow. At Fresh Faces Rx, we offer advanced peels like the VI Peel and ZO 3-Step Peel, both designed to support long-term skin health across all skin tones and identities. Whether you’re navigating pigmentation, scarring, sun damage, or just want a refresh, peels can be a safe, empowering choice—not to change your face, but to care for it.
The VI Peel: Deep Results, Minimal Downtime
The VI Peel is one of our most loved treatments—and for good reason. This medium-depth, medical-grade peel uses a synergistic blend of TCA, Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, Vitamin C, and brightening agents to treat signs of aging, discoloration, acne, and texture concerns. Unlike traditional harsh peels, the VI Peel is gentle and inclusive, offering powerful results for patients who have historically been excluded from peel treatments due to skin tone or sensitivity.
VI Peel Benefits
- Fades sun spots, melasma, and post-acne marks
- Smooths and brightens skin tone + texture
- Clears active acne and minimizes future breakouts
- Softens fine lines and stimulates collagen
- Reduces pore size + improves skin clarity
- Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI)
Who Should Not Get a VI Peel?
While safe for many, this treatment may not be appropriate if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an aspirin or phenol allergy
Have active eczema, dermatitis, or rosacea flare-ups
Used Accutane within the past 6 months
Have open wounds, recent sunburn, or facial infection
We’ll always do a thorough consultation to ensure the right treatment, for the right skin, at
the right time.
How to Prepare for Your Peel To protect your skin and optimize results:
✅ Stop retinol, glycolic acid, and exfoliants 3–5 days before
✅ Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 1–2 weeks
✅ Refrain from waxing or laser hair removal in the area
✅ Stay hydrated and use a gentle, nourishing skincare routine
✅ Let us know if you’re taking acne or hormonal medications
What to Expect After a VI Peel
Post-treatment, your skin will go through a natural rejuvenation cycle:
Day 1–2: Skin may feel tight or look darker
Day 3–5: Peeling begins, usually around the mouth and chin
Day 6–7: Peeling slows; fresh skin is more radiant and smooth
You’ll be sent home with a complete VI Peel post-care kit to guide you through the healing
process.
VI Peel Aftercare Musts
❌ Do NOT pick or peel flaking skin
❌ Avoid heat, sweating, or exercise for 48–72 hours
❌ Avoid sun exposure—wear SPF 30+ daily
✅ Stick with the provided products
✅ Keep skin well-hydrated
✅ Use gentle, non-exfoliating cleansers
✅ Avoid makeup for 24 hours
Beyond the Peel: Your Skin, Supported Long-Term Chemical peels can be part of a seasonal reset or integrated into a broader treatment plan. At Fresh Faces Rx, we often combine peels with:
Hydrafacial for deep cleansing + hydration
DiamondGlow® to exfoliate, extract, and infuse active serums
Microneedling, Sculptra®, and neuromodulators for next-level results
We don’t rely on any single treatment. We design multimodal, custom strategies that support your skin’s natural architecture and meet you where you are in life. Because Radiance Has No Age Limit. We don’t believe skin should be flawless. We believe it should be cared for. A chemical peel isn’t about erasing age or chasing perfection—it’s about saying yes to confidence, clarity, and choice.Whether you’re 27 or 77, acne-prone or glow-seeking, we’re here to walk beside you. Let your skin be a reflection of your truth—not a trend.
