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.

Why Choose Levitas Aesthetics for Your VI Peel?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. At Levitas Aesthetics, every VI Peel is customised to your skin’s specific needs, using a clinical approach combined with luxury care.

  • Our experienced skin practitioners ensure precise application and aftercare

  • We monitor your results and adapt your treatment plan as needed

With so many options available, patients are increasingly turning to carboxytherapy for hair loss in London and Surrey as a modern, regenerative solution. But does it actually work? At our clinics across London (Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, Belgravia) and Surrey (Guildford and Esher), we offer advanced carboxytherapy scalp treatments designed to support natural hair regrowth, improve scalp health, and complement other regenerative therapies. We also provide 7-day availability and short-notice appointments, making treatment accessible when you need it most. Carboxytherapy is a treatment that involves injecting small amounts of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the scalp. While this may sound unusual, the science is simple and powerful. When CO₂ is introduced into the scalp: Blood vessels dilate (vasodilation) Oxygen delivery increases Circulation improves Nutrients reach hair follicles more effectively This creates an environment where weakened or dormant hair follicles can become active again. Think of your hair follicles like plants. If the soil (your scalp) is poorly nourished and lacks oxygen, growth slows or stops. Carboxytherapy acts like a natural irrigation system, restoring flow and vitality. Key benefits include: Increased oxygenation of the scalp Improved microcirculation Stimulation of growth factors Reduction in inflammation This is why CO₂ therapy for hair loss is gaining popularity in regenerative medicine.
