Medical-Grade Skin Resurfacing
- A VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel — a blend of resurfacing acids and brightening ingredients applied in-office by a trained provider, working below the surface rather than on it.
- A medical-grade peel is not a spa facial. A facial cleanses and hydrates the surface; a peel changes how the skin behaves, and can fade hyperpigmentation, melasma and sun damage.
- A VI chemical peel in Jacksonville starts at $350, which includes the treatment with authentic VI Peel formulations, post-peel care products and follow-up guidance.
- Concerns such as melasma and acne usually respond best to a series, mapped out at your consultation rather than sold as a fixed package.
- The peel is performed at our St. Johns County office, serving Jacksonville, Nocatee, Ponte Vedra and Julington Creek.

What a Chemical Peel Can Help With
VI Peels are versatile, but they shine for pigment and texture concerns — the exact issues our beach-and-boating climate tends to create.
Melasma and Hyperpigmentation
Florida sun is relentless, and melasma and dark spots are among the most common concerns we see from Jacksonville Beach to Ponte Vedra. VI Peels combine resurfacing with pigment-suppressing ingredients, which can help fade stubborn discoloration that creams alone rarely budge.
Sun Damage and Dullness
Years of UV exposure leave skin rough, blotchy, and tired-looking. A peel lifts away damaged surface layers so healthier skin can come forward, often leaving a noticeably brighter, more even tone.
Acne and Acne Marks
VI Peels can help clear congested pores, calm active breakouts, and soften the red and brown marks acne leaves behind — a useful option for adult acne that has outlasted drugstore routines.
Fine Lines and Texture
By stimulating collagen, peels can help smooth fine lines, refine rough texture, and soften the look of enlarged pores over a series of treatments
Most Skin Tones, Including Deeper Complexions
Many peels carry pigment risks for darker skin types. VI Peel was formulated with this in mind and is widely regarded as a safer medical peel option across the Fitzpatrick spectrum. Your provider confirms suitability at your consultation.
Medical-Grade Peel, Spa Facial or Microneedling for Pigment
For uneven tone and dark patches these three get compared constantly. They work at different depths and suit different problems.
| VI CHEMICAL PEEL | SPA FACIAL | SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it works | Below the surface, loosening damaged outer layers and interrupting excess pigment production. | On the surface only. | Through controlled micro-channels that trigger collagen repair. |
| Best for | Hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven tone, acne. | Hydration and short-term glow. | Texture, fine lines, acne scarring and firmness. |
| Visible peeling | Yes — skin sheds over the days after treatment. | No. | No; some redness for a day or two. |
| How long it holds | Changes how the skin behaves; often repeated as a short series. | Temporary. | Builds over a series as new collagen forms. |
| Who performs it | A trained provider, in a medical office. | An esthetician, in a spa setting. | A trained provider using a sterile single-use cartridge. |
| Cost here | From $350 per treatment. | Not offered. | From $300 per session. |
Melasma in particular tends to recur and is managed rather than cured — the American Academy of Dermatology's patient guidance on that is linked in the sources below. Anyone promising a one-time fix for it is overselling.
What to Expect: Your Peel Visit, Peeling Days, and Results
Most patients are surprised by how easy the process is. Here is the typical timeline.
01.
Consultation and Skin Evaluation
We review your skin history, concerns, medications, and goals, then confirm a VI Peel is right for you and select the appropriate formulation. This medical evaluation is required before any peel.
02.
A Quick, Comfortable Application
The peel itself takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You may feel brief tingling or warmth as the solution is layered on. You leave the office with the peel in place and simple at-home instructions.
03.
Days 1 to 2: Looking Normal
Your skin may look slightly darker or feel tight, but most people go about their day. You will cleanse gently, moisturize, and avoid sun, sweat, and active skincare per your instructions.
04.
Days 3 to 5: Light Social Downtime
This is when peeling happens — typically a light, flaky shed rather than dramatic sheeting. Many patients schedule peels before a low-key stretch of the week. Do not pick or pull; let it release naturally.
05.
Week 1 and Beyond: The Reveal
Once peeling completes, skin generally looks brighter, smoother, and more even. Collagen remodeling continues for weeks. For melasma, acne, or deeper sun damage, a series of peels is often recommended for cumulative improvement. Results vary by individual.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Chemical Peels
What skin conditions can a VI Peel treat?
VI Peels are used for hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, acne and acne marks, uneven texture, fine lines, and overall dullness. They are one of the most versatile medical-grade peels available, which is why they are often a first recommendation for pigment concerns.
Whether a peel is the best option for your specific concern depends on your skin type and history, which is what your consultation determines. Results vary from patient to patient.
How much peeling and downtime should I expect after a chemical peel?
Plan for light social downtime rather than true recovery. Most patients look normal for the first day or two, then experience light flaking and peeling on days 3 to 5. You can usually work and run errands throughout; many patients simply skip big events and heavy sun during peel days.
The peeling is typically gentle flaking, not dramatic shedding, and your post-peel kit and instructions walk you through each day.
Is the VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
VI Peel has one of the strongest reputations among medical peels for safety across skin tones, including deeper complexions where some traditional peels can trigger pigment problems. Its blended, lower-irritation formulation was designed with this in mind.
That said, no peel is right for everyone. Your provider evaluates your skin type and pigment history at your consultation before recommending treatment.
How often should I get a VI Peel in Jacksonville?
For active concerns like melasma or acne, a series of 2 to 4 peels spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is commonly recommended. Once you reach your goal, many patients maintain results with a peel every quarter or seasonally — especially helpful given year-round Florida sun.
Your provider will recommend a cadence for your skin at your consultation.
Chemical peel vs. microneedling — which is right for me?
They work differently and often complement each other. Peels excel at pigment and surface concerns — melasma, sun spots, dullness, and active acne. SkinPen microneedling excels at texture, acne scarring, and collagen building, and can be enhanced with exosomes for recovery and skin quality.
Many patients alternate or combine the two over a treatment plan. Your consultation will sort out the right sequence for your goals.
Does a VI Peel hurt?
Most patients describe brief tingling, warmth, or mild stinging during application that settles quickly. The VI Peel includes a gentle numbing component in its formulation, which makes it more comfortable than many traditional peels. Afterward, skin may feel tight or mildly sensitive, similar to a day of sun.
Can a VI Peel help with melasma from sun exposure?
Melasma is one of the most common concerns we treat in Jacksonville — beach weekends, boating, and daily UV all feed it. VI Peels combine exfoliation with pigment-suppressing ingredients, which can help fade melasma over a series of treatments, especially alongside daily sunscreen and a medical-grade home regimen.
Melasma is a chronic, recurrence-prone condition, so honest expectations matter: peels can help significantly lighten it, but maintenance and sun protection are part of the plan. Results vary.
Chemical Peels is available at our St. Johns County office in the Durbin Park area — serving Jacksonville, St. Johns, Ponte Vedra, Mandarin, Durbin, Silverleaf, Nocatee, Julington Creek, Fleming Island, and St. Augustine.
