Let’s be honest, most people don’t come in asking for a chemical peel. They come in saying things like:
- “My skin just looks dull no matter what.”
- “I keep breaking out, and I’m tired of trying to fix it with products.”
- “My dark spots won’t go away.”
If any of these sound familiar, just know that you’re not alone. Skin truly tells the story of everything: stress, hormones, sun exposure, aging, and the plain fact that life is busy. Over time, even great skincare routines can hit a plateau. That’s usually when a peel can become apart of the conversation.
At Head & Heart Health and Wellness, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“Which peel should I choose?”
The short answer: it depends.
The longer answer: let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense.
BioRePeel: When You Want Results Without Looking Like You Had “Something Done”
BioRePeel is often the peel people didn’t realize they were looking for.
If your skin feels tired, uneven, or just not as bright as it used to be, but the idea of peeling for a week makes you cringe, this is usually where we start.
BioRePeel works differently from traditional peels. Instead of just exfoliating and sending you on your way, it also feeds the skin helpful ingredients like amino acids and vitamins. So while old skin cells are being cleared away, your skin is also being supported underneath.
People love BioRePeel because it:
- Smooths rough texture
- Brightens overall tone
- Softens fine lines
- Helps calm mild acne and old acne marks
- Has little to no downtime
Most clients go right back to their normal routine with maybe a bit of mild redness or light flaking. Nothing that screams “I just had a peel.”
It’s also incredibly popular before events or during busy seasons when downtime isn’t an option.
Side note: BioRePeel pairs beautifully with treatments like Jet Plasma or LED light therapy. Those combinations can really boost results without adding extra recovery time.
VI Peel Purify: When Acne Is the Ongoing Problem
If you’re dealing with breakouts that never seem to fully go away, whether you’re a teen, an adult, or somewhere in between, VI Peel Purify is usually the better fit.
This peel goes deeper than BioRePeel and is designed specifically to target acne. It helps reduce oil buildup, unclog pores, calm inflammation, and address the bacteria that fuels breakouts in the first place.
VI Peel Purify is often chosen for:
- Active acne
- Oily or congested skin
- Acne scarring
- Larger or more visible pores
This peel does involve downtime. Most people start peeling around days 3–5, and it can last about a week. It’s not dramatic, but it is noticeable.
That said, many clients tell us it’s the first time their skin has felt calmer and more balanced in years. For chronic acne, that tradeoff is usually worth it.
VI Peel Precision Plus: When Pigmentation Is the Main Concern
Dark spots. Sun damage. Melasma. Uneven tone that makeup can’t fully disguise.
If pigmentation is what’s bothering you most, VI Peel Precision Plus is typically the best option.
This peel is designed to target excess pigment at its source while also improving overall texture. It’s one of the most effective treatments we offer for stubborn discoloration, especially melasma, which often needs a more strategic approach.
Precision Plus is best for:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
Because it’s more corrective, it comes with more visible peeling and about 5–7 days of downtime. Many clients do this peel as part of a series to get longer-lasting, more even results over time.
What About the Body? Yes, Peels Work There Too
Faces get most of the attention, but body skin struggles too.
VI Peel Body is designed for thicker skin on areas like:
- Back and chest (especially body acne)
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Stretch marks and discoloration
It helps smooth texture, improve tone, and encourage collagen production, without being as intense as the facial VI Peel. Peeling is usually milder, and downtime is shorter.
So… Which One Is Right for You?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, but here’s a simple way to think about it:
- Want glow and refresh with minimal downtime? BioRePeel
- Fighting breakouts or acne scars? VI Peel Purify
- Dealing with dark spots or melasma? VI Peel Precision Plus
- Struggling with body acne or uneven tone? VI Peel Body
During your consultation, we look at your skin type, your goals, your schedule, and how much downtime you’re realistically okay with. That conversation matters just as much as the treatment itself.
Aftercare Isn’t Optional — It’s Part of the Results
Chemical peels don’t end when you leave the office.
Following aftercare instructions makes a huge difference in how your skin heals and how good your final results are. We provide post-care kits, recommend supportive skincare, and walk you through what to expect day by day.
Depending on your needs, we may also suggest things like:
- LED light therapy
- CO2 Lift masks
- Immune Boost IV or IM therapy
- Medical-grade skincare to support healing
