Chemical Peels and the Power of the VI Peel in London

Looking to revive tired, uneven, or acne-prone skin? A chemical peel may be the skin reset you’ve been waiting for. And when it comes to peels, the VI Peel stands out for its incredible versatility, minimal downtime, and proven results—especially when offered by expert hands like those at Levitas Aesthetics in London.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skincare treatment that uses a carefully selected blend of acids to exfoliate the skin’s surface. It works by removing the dull, damaged outer layers of skin, encouraging new cell growth and revealing a fresher, smoother complexion underneath.

Chemical peels can be light, medium, or deep in strength. Each one is designed to treat different skin concerns, from mild dryness to deep acne scars. The VI Peel is a medium-depth peel, making it powerful enough to create visible improvements without the intense recovery time associated with deeper peels.

What is the VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that combines several types of acids and vitamins to create a synergistic effect. It’s designed to treat a wide range of skin issues safely and effectively—even for those with sensitive or darker skin tones.

What Skin Concerns Does the VI Peel Treat?
  • Acne and acne scars: Clears breakouts and fades leftover marks.
  • Sun damage and pigmentation: Reduces dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles: Softens early signs of ageing and improves elasticity.
  • Rough texture and dullness: Smooths the skin’s surface and enhances glow.

Whether you’re battling breakouts or looking to brighten and tighten your skin, the VI Peel delivers visible, progressive results in just one week.

VI Peel London – Why It’s a Favourite at Levitas Aesthetics

At Levitas Aesthetics, our London clients love the VI Peel for its effectiveness, convenience, and skin-safe formulation. Here’s why it stands out:

Minimal Downtime

You won’t need to hide away for days. The VI Peel causes gentle peeling rather than deep skin shedding. Most clients can go about their normal activities, with only a few days of flaking that’s easily managed with moisturiser.

Safe for All Skin Tones

Unlike some chemical peels that can be too harsh for melanin-rich skin, the VI Peel is formulated to be safe for all skin types and tones, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or uneven results.

Fast, Noticeable Results

Within 7 days, many clients notice brighter, clearer, more radiant skin. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

Chemical Peel Before and After – What to Expect

Understanding the peeling process helps you feel confident and prepared.

  • Day 1–2: Your skin may feel tight or look slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn.

  • Day 3–5: Peeling begins—mostly light flakes around the mouth, chin, or cheeks.

  • Day 6–7: The peeling subsides and you’ll begin to see fresh, renewed skin.

  • Week 2 onward: Your skin continues to regenerate, showing enhanced glow and clarity.

Peeling levels can vary by individual and skin type, but the overall effect is rejuvenation from the inside out.

Chemical Peel and Facial – A Perfect Pairing

To enhance your VI Peel results, we often recommend combining it with a customised facial—either before or after the peel depending on your skin’s needs.

  • Pre-peel facial: Prepares your skin by removing debris and allowing deeper acid penetration.

  • Post-peel facial: Helps calm, hydrate, and nourish the skin, reducing sensitivity and boosting glow.

This holistic combination ensures your skin feels supported throughout the entire process.

VI Peel Cost in London – Is It Worth It?

While pricing can vary depending on your skin goals and how many sessions are recommended, the VI Peel offers excellent value. It’s a powerful treatment that can:

  • Replace multiple weaker facials
  • Address several skin concerns in one go
  • Require fewer sessions compared to laser or microneedling

At Levitas Aesthetics, we provide tailored skin packages that combine peels with complementary treatments to give you the best results and value for your investment.

The at risk groups of people who are at greater risk from flu infection include: Pregnant women Those with chronic diseases including lung, heart, liver and kidney disease Those who have lowered immunity – due to high dose steroid treatment or cancer treatment Those who have had a stroke or TIA ( transient ischaemic attack) Those with a neurological condition Those who have had a spleen removed Those who are significantly overweight Others who should consider the flu vaccine include: All aged over 65 All those in a nursing or residential home The main carer for an older or disabled person A household contact of an immunocompromised person Frontline health or social care worker Children – both at risk and those covered by the school programme All […]

STOPTOBER – Stop smoking for October

Stoptober is an initiative from Public Health England to increase the number of smokers stopping for good. The tag line is that if you stop for 28 days, you are 5 times more likely to stop for good. According to figures from ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) in 2014: 20% of adult men and 17% of adult women are smokers, meaning there are 9.6 million adult smokers in the UK. The rates have halved since 1974 when 51% of men and 41% of women were smokers. The prevalence is highest in the 25-34 year age group and lowest in the over 60 age group. The rates are much higher amongst poorer people. 59% of all adults now report that they have never smoked. Two thirds of smokers start before the age of 18 despite it being illegal to sell cigarettes to anyone under 18. Use of tobacco is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers as well as heart disease. These cancers include lung, larynx (voice box), oesophagus (gullet), mouth and pharynx, bladder, pancreas, kidney, liver, stomach, bowel, cervix, leukaemia ( blood) and ovary. With the reduction in smoking, rates of lung cancer in males and oesophageal cancer […]

Plasma Rich Platelet Therapy

We are introducing a next generation injection procedure to our practice, which can help treat a range of orthopaedic conditions. Plasma Rich Platelet therapy, essentially accelerates and aids the healing of injured tissues over the body by first taking blood from the patient.

This is prepared in an injection to be injected into the area of the injury. Conditions that we can treat: Tennis Elbow Knee Arthritis Plantar Fasciitis Tendinitis Bursitis Rotator Cuff Tears Shoulder Arthritis Golfer’s Elbow Impingement Syndrome Of The Shoulder The Benefits: Your own blood is used therefore there is no risk of any disease transmission.
