What Is VI Peel?
The result is skin that doesn’t just look cleaner on the surface — it is structurally improved. Tone, texture, clarity, and resilience all benefit from the VI Peel’s multi-mechanism approach.
What sets VI Peel apart from older-generation chemical peels is its remarkable tolerability. The treatment is virtually painless, requires only 2 to 4 days of at-home peeling, and is formulated to be safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI — making it one of the most inclusively effective peels available in medical aesthetics today.
VI Peel treatments can address:
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
- Sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone
- Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Active acne and acne scarring
- Rough texture and enlarged pores
- Dull, congested, or lackluster skin
- Skin laxity and collagen depletion
Why Should You Choose Dr. Rudderman Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa for Your VI Peel Treatment?
The difference between a great chemical peel result and a disappointing one is not always the product. It is the expertise, clinical judgment, and genuine investment of the person administering it.

VI Peel ToxBooster — The Ultimate Anti-Aging Combination
For patients who want to address every dimension of skin aging in a single visit, the VI Peel ToxBooster pairs a VI Peel treatment with a neurotoxin injection — Botox® or Dysport® — performed in the same session. This clinically studied combination has been shown to boost wrinkle reduction by up to 36% more than neurotoxin alone, while simultaneously addressing the pigmentation and textural concerns that neurotoxins cannot touch.
Why combine both?
Fine lines and wrinkles are the most visible sign of aging — but dark spots, sun damage, and skin texture are quietly undermining your complexion’s youthful quality at the same time. Neurotoxins relax the muscles that create expression lines. VI Peel exfoliates and renews the surface, targets hyperpigmentation, and stimulates collagen. Together, they address all of the factors that contribute to an aged appearance — from movement-based lines to structural skin quality — in one streamlined appointment.
The Tox Booster delivers:
- Up to 36% better wrinkle reduction than neurotoxin alone
- Lifting and fading of dark spots and sun damage
- Smoothing of fine lines and surface wrinkles
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Improved skin elasticity and resilience
- Visible results in approximately 7 days
This is one of the most efficient, high-impact anti-aging treatments available at Rudderman Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa — and one that our patients return to consistently.
How Should I Prepare for My VI Peel in Atlanta, GA?
Your Rudderman team will provide personalized pre-treatment instructions at your consultation. Preparation is simple and helps ensure your skin responds optimally to treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure — minimize direct sun for at least 2 weeks prior to and use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
- Discontinue active products — stop retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and other exfoliating acids at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
- Avoid waxing or threading — do not wax or thread treated areas for at least one week before your peel.
- Avoid blood thinners — aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba should be avoided for one week prior to treatment.
- Keep us informed — let your aesthetician know about any active skin conditions, including cold sores, eczema, or rosacea, as these may affect timing.
- Hydrate your skin — well-moisturized skin heals more comfortably; prioritize hydration in the days leading up to treatment.
- Arrive with clean skin — come to your appointment with a completely clean face, free of makeup, SPF, or skincare products.

Atlanta VI Peel FAQs
Is VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — VI Peel is formulated to be safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, including darker skin tones that are often contraindicated for more aggressive chemical peels or laser treatments. The formulation is carefully calibrated to deliver meaningful exfoliation without triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — one of the most common concerns in patients with melanin-rich skin. Your aesthetician will confirm candidacy and appropriate settings during your consultation.
Will I peel visibly after a VI Peel?
Yes — peeling is part of the process, and it is the most visible sign that the treatment is working. Most patients experience 2 to 4 days of peeling, typically beginning on days 2 to 3 post-treatment. The degree of peeling varies by formulation, skin type, and individual response. Your post-procedure kit will help manage the process comfortably.
How is VI Peel different from an over-the-counter peel or a day spa facial?
VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel — formulated with prescription-strength concentrations of active ingredients that are not available in over-the-counter products or standard spa treatments. It works at the dermal level to stimulate collagen and produce structural improvements in the skin, not just surface-level brightening. It must be administered by a licensed medical professional in a medically supervised environment.
Can VI Peel be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely — and some of our most impressive skin transformations come from a thoughtfully combined approach. The VI Peel ToxBooster pairs VI Peel with a neurotoxin injection in the same session for comprehensive anti-aging results. VI Peel also complements microneedling, laser treatments, and a physician-guided skincare regimen for patients pursuing a comprehensive skin health plan.
How many VI Peel treatments will I need?
A single treatment produces meaningful, visible results. For optimal, longer-lasting improvement — particularly for pigmentation concerns, acne scarring, or significant signs of aging — most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your licensed aesthetician will recommend the right treatment plan during your consultation based on your skin’s specific needs and goals.
