How the peel works
VI PEEL™ BODY TREATMENT is a professional, medium-depth body peel performed in-clinic to address acne, hyperpigmentation, surgical scars, stretch marks, texture and visible skin laxity. The method uses controlled corrective exfoliation to remove damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen remodeling beneath the surface. Providers tailor application and coverage to each treatment area to balance efficacy with safety.
How quickly and how well skin responds depends on baseline skin condition, the specific body area treated, and adherence to aftercare. Visible improvements are often seen within about seven days, but more significant repair—especially for deep surgical scars or longstanding stretch marks—may require multiple sessions spaced by clinician guidance. Local humidity and sun exposure in Columbia can influence healing and aftercare choices.
What to expect afterward
Expect an initial period of surface flaking and temporary changes in texture as the treated outer layers shed and underlying tissue responds. Most clients notice meaningful visual change near the one-week mark; however, the timeline varies. Avoid direct sun, heavy sweating, and irritants during the early healing window to protect results, and follow any topical plan your clinician prescribes.
A single VI PEEL™ BODY TREATMENT session at our Columbia clinic typically takes 30 minutes and is priced at $375. The short appointment length makes it convenient for commuting clients who can stop by near North Beltline or I-77. Evening and weekend scheduling options appeal to busy families and professionals balancing work and errands.
How to select treatment areas
Treatable areas include Neck & chest, full arms, full legs, or full back. Choosing an area depends on your primary concern—active body acne, uneven pigmentation, surgical scarring, stretch marks, or loose texture—and on how much skin needs treatment. Larger surface areas may produce broader improvement but can require more recovery attention and possibly additional sessions.
Local lifestyle and climate influence area selection and aftercare: Columbia’s humid summers and frequent thunderstorms may increase sweating, affecting post-treatment comfort on larger areas like full back or legs. Our Forest Acres / North Beltline location is convenient for combining appointments with errands, enabling clients to plan treatments around work, shopping, or visits to Riverbanks Zoo without long detours.
