About the Treatment
What Is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that combines five proprietary exfoliating acids to reverse sun damage, environmental aging, and uneven skin tone at the cellular level.
Unlike laser treatments that use heat energy on the skin surface, the VI Peel works through precision chemical exfoliation — no invasive skin burning, no prolonged downtime, and suitability for all skin types and ethnicities.
This proprietary formulation — TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Retin-A, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C — is available in no other peel product.
Each acid targets a different aspect of skin renewal, from deep collagen stimulation to surface exfoliation and antioxidant protection.
Dr. Marc L. Epstein offers the VI Peel as part of his comprehensive anti-aging treatment portfolio at his Harrison practice.
It is the ideal skin resurfacing complement to his injectable programs.
Treatment Areas
VI Peel Treatment Areas
Face
The most common treatment area. The VI Peel addresses sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation across the full face. Results include improved tone, tightness, and a youthful, healthy glow.
Hands
Age spots and crepey texture on the hands respond well to the VI Peel's combination of TCA and vitamin C. The treatment reverses photodamage that makes hands appear older than the face.
Neck and Chest
Sun exposure affects the neck and decolletage as much as the face. Dr. Epstein applies the VI Peel to these areas to create uniform skin quality from the jawline down.
Around the Eyes
The delicate skin surrounding the eyes benefits from the VI Peel's gentle but effective formulation. Fine lines and discoloration in this sensitive area improve without the risks associated with more aggressive treatments.
Your Visit
What to Expect During Your VI Peel Treatment
The Session
A VI Peel treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, including facial cleansing and peel application. The process is virtually pain-free — you may feel a mild tingling sensation as the acids begin working.
Skin may appear slightly tan or red immediately after treatment.
Peeling and Recovery
Peeling typically begins around day 3 and continues for one to two days. This is a manageable process — Dr. Epstein provides guidance on using moisturizer to keep skin comfortable during the shedding phase.
Within one week, you see visible improvement in skin tone, tightness, and pigmentation. Minimal downtime means you can return to your routine quickly.
Important Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Discontinue exfoliating products one week before treatment. No laser treatments or other chemical peels within 30 days prior. These precautions ensure your skin responds optimally to the VI Peel formulation.
Post-Treatment Care
Avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear facial sunscreen at all times following treatment. Do not remove peeling skin — allowing it to shed naturally prevents discoloration and scarring.
Dr. Epstein recommends Aloe Cort for any irritation rather than hydrocortisone cream.

Benefits of the VI Peel
Reverses Sun Damage and Aging
Even if years of sun exposure have left visible damage — age spots, melasma, uneven pigmentation — the VI Peel targets these concerns at the cellular level.
The trichloroacetic acid penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen growth while salicylic acid clears surface impurities.
Works for All Skin Types
Many resurfacing treatments carry limitations based on skin tone and ethnicity.
The VI Peel is formulated for all skin types, making it an accessible option for patients who may not be candidates for certain laser procedures.
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin
Dr. Marc L. Epstein values the VI Peel for its collagen-stimulating properties. TCA and Retin-A work beneath the surface to trigger new collagen and elastin production, creating lasting improvement in skin firmness and texture.
Complements Injectable Treatments
The VI Peel pairs naturally with Dr. Epstein's injectable treatments and other non-surgical treatments. While Botox and dermal fillers address wrinkles and volume, the VI Peel targets skin quality — tone, texture, and clarity.
Together, they provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Epstein's Approach to the VI Peel
Dr. Marc L. Epstein integrates the VI Peel into personalized anti-aging treatment plans at his Harrison, NY practice.
With over 30 years of medical experience, he evaluates each patient's skin concerns and recommends the VI Peel when skin resurfacing would enhance their overall results.
His approach emphasizes the VI Peel as a complement — not a standalone treatment.
For patients receiving other non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and injectables for volume restoration, the VI Peel adds the final layer of improvement by addressing surface-level concerns that lifting and filling alone cannot correct.
Dr. Epstein personally oversees every VI Peel treatment, ensuring the application is tailored to your specific skin type, concerns, and treatment history.
