If your skin is looking dull, uneven, or just tired, a VI Peel is one of the fastest ways to reveal brighter, smoother, more radiant skin. At Beauty Ranch Medical Spa in Brentwood, the VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that resurfaces the skin to improve tone, texture, and clarity — with results that build over a single, easy week.
Here's everything you need to know about getting a VI Peel in Los Angeles: the benefits, what it treats, what to expect, the peeling stages, cost, and before-and-after results.
What Is a VI Peel?
A VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that gently exfoliates the surface layers of the skin to encourage fresh, healthy-looking skin to come through. It's known for being effective yet comfortable, with a quick application and a predictable few days of light peeling that reveal a noticeably brighter, smoother complexion.
It's a favorite for people who want real, visible skin renewal without the downtime of more aggressive resurfacing — making it perfect for busy Brentwood and West LA schedules.
VI Peel Benefits: What It Helps With
Clients choose a VI Peel at Beauty Ranch to improve the look of:
- Dull, tired-looking skin (for an instant glow-up)
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Dark spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation
- The appearance of melasma and discoloration
- The look of acne-prone skin and acne scarring
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Enlarged-looking pores and rough texture
The result is fresher, brighter, more even-toned skin and a healthy, radiant glow.
What to Expect: The VI Peel Peeling Stages
One of the best things about the VI Peel is how predictable and manageable the process is. Here's the general timeline (your experience may vary slightly):
- Day 1 — Application: The peel is applied in just a few minutes. Skin may look lightly tinted or feel warm; you go home with simple aftercare steps.
- Days 2–3: Skin may start to feel tight and look slightly darker as it prepares to peel.
- Days 3–5: The visible peeling happens — light flaking and shedding, especially around the mouth and cheeks. Keep skin moisturized and avoid picking.
- Days 5–7: Peeling finishes to reveal brighter, smoother, more even-toned new skin.
Your provider will give you personalized aftercare so your results look their best.
VI Peel Before and After: What Results Look Like
Most people see brighter, smoother, more even skin within about a week of a single VI Peel. For concerns like stubborn discoloration, melasma, or acne scarring, a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart delivers the most dramatic before-and-after results. Many clients build VI Peels into their routine a few times a year to keep skin glowing.
How Much Does a VI Peel Cost in Los Angeles?
At Beauty Ranch, a VI Peel is $250. For deeper or more stubborn pigmentation and melasma, we also offer stronger options like Cosmelan — see our full pricing menu or explore all of our chemical peels. Call 310-587-3502 to book or ask which peel is right for your skin.
Is There Downtime?
The VI Peel is often called a "social peel" because the downtime is minimal and easy to plan around. You'll have a few days of light peeling, but most people continue their normal routine throughout. Avoid sun exposure, picking, and active skincare during the peeling window, and always wear SPF.
