What Makes Each VI Peel Formula Different?

Here's the thing about the VI Peel line — it's not one-size-fits-all, and that's actually a good thing. Each formula was built with a specific skin concern in mind, which means the "best" one really depends on what's going on with your skin right now, not what worked for your best friend or your sister.

• Original is the classic, general-purpose option. It's formulated with TCA, Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Vitamin C, and Phenol, and it's ideal for dullness, rough texture, fine lines, and uneven tone. If you're new to peels or just want an overall refresh, this is usually where I'd point you first.

• Precision Plus builds on the Original formula but adds a Lighten Booster and a Brighten Booster, making it a stronger option for melasma, sun spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — basically, anything related to stubborn discoloration.

• Purify takes the Original formula and adds Benzoyl Peroxide, Kojic Acid, and Hydrocortisone, which makes it the go-to for active acne, oily skin, cystic breakouts, and congested pores.

There's even a combination option — Purify with Precision Plus — designed for clients dealing with adult acne and acne scarring or dark spots at the same time, so you're not choosing between clearing breakouts and fading the marks they leave behind.

VI Peel Original vs. Precision Plus vs. Purify: Side-by-Side Comparison

I always tell my clients that once you see it laid out side by side, the decision gets a lot easier.

VI Peel Type	Best For	Key Ingredients
Original	Dullness, rough texture, fine lines, uneven tone	TCA, Retinoic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Vitamin C, Phenol
Precision Plus	Melasma, sun/age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation	Original formula + Lighten Booster + Brighten Booster
Purify	Active acne, oily skin, congested pores, cystic breakouts	Original formula + Benzoyl Peroxide, Kojic Acid, Hydrocortisone

So when you're weighing VI Peel Original vs. Precision Plus vs. Purify, the real question isn't "which one is strongest" — it's "which concern is loudest on my skin right now." Texture and fine lines? Original. Dark spots and melasma? Precision Plus. Breakouts and oily congestion? Purify.

Why "Strongest" Isn't Always "Best"

I get this question all the time — clients assume that because Precision Plus has extra boosters, it must automatically be better. But that's not how it works, sweetie. Using a stronger formula than your skin actually needs can cause more irritation, more downtime, and more sensitivity, without giving you better results. Matching the formula to your real concern is what gets you glowing — not going in guns blazing.

How Dixis Medispa Elevates Your Chemical Peel Experience with BioRePeel

Now here's what I want you to know before you book anywhere: at Dixis Medispa, every chemical peel treatment we perform is done using BioRePeel, a professional-grade peeling system that addresses the exact same categories of concerns we just talked about — texture and aging, pigmentation and sun damage, and acne-prone, congested skin — but customized specifically to you during your consultation instead of a fixed retail formula. That means you get all the clarity of understanding how VI Peel Original vs. Precision Plus vs. Purify are typically positioned, while receiving a treatment plan tailored to your Fitzpatrick skin type, your lifestyle, and your goals.

And because I know price matters just as much as results, I'll say this plainly: we proudly offer the best chemical peel pricing anywhere in the state of Louisiana. You don't have to choose between quality, expert-guided skincare and staying within budget — at Dixis Medispa, you get both.

What to Expect Before, During & After Your Peel

Let's talk logistics, because I don't want you walking in nervous.

Before your treatment, we sit down together for a full consultation. I'll look at your skin type, your Fitzpatrick scale classification, your skincare history, and your goals, so we can decide together whether your priorities line up more with the "Original," "Precision Plus," or "Purify" category of concerns — texture, pigmentation, or acne.

During the treatment itself, you can expect a warm, tingling sensation as the solution is applied in layers. Most clients tell me it's far more tolerable than they expected — definitely not the horror stories you might have read online.

Afterward, you'll notice some light flaking or peeling over the following days, which is completely normal and honestly kind of satisfying once you see the glow underneath. We'll send you home with detailed aftercare instructions, and I'm always just a message away if you have questions during your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VI Peel Original, Precision Plus, and Purify?

Original is a general-purpose peel for dullness, texture, and fine lines. Precision Plus adds Lighten and Brighten Boosters to target stubborn pigmentation like melasma and sun spots. Purify adds Benzoyl Peroxide, Kojic Acid, and Hydrocortisone to specifically treat active acne and congested, oily skin. At Dixis Medispa, we address these same three concern categories using our BioRePeel treatments, customized during your consultation.

How do I know which peel is right for my skin type?

Honestly, the only way to know for sure is through a proper consultation. We'll evaluate your Fitzpatrick skin type, current concerns, skincare history, and goals before recommending a treatment path — never a one-size-fits-all approach.

Is a BioRePeel treatment at Dixis Medispa the same as getting VI Peel Precision Plus?

Not exactly the same formula, but the concerns addressed overlap significantly. BioRePeel is the professional system we use to treat texture, pigmentation, and acne concerns — the same categories that VI Peel Original, Precision Plus, and Purify are each designed around — with the added benefit of a fully customized approach for your unique skin.

How many sessions do I need to see results?

Most clients start noticing a difference in texture and tone after just one session, but for concerns like melasma, hyperpigmentation, or active acne, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for the best, longest-lasting results.

Does a chemical peel hurt?

Not the way people expect! You'll feel warmth and a bit of tingling while the solution is on, but it's mild and temporary. Most of my clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process actually is.

How long is the downtime after a peel?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience light flaking or peeling for about 3 to 7 days, depending on the strength of the treatment and your skin's sensitivity. Most clients return to their normal routine the very next day.

Can I treat acne and dark spots at the same time?

Yes! Just like the combination "Purify with Precision Plus" option addresses adult acne and acne scarring simultaneously, we can design a customized BioRePeel plan at Dixis Medispa that tackles active breakouts and post-acne discoloration together.

How much does a chemical peel cost in Shreveport or Bossier City?

Pricing depends on the specific treatment and your customized plan, but I can tell you with confidence that Dixis Medispa offers the best chemical peel pricing anywhere in the state of Louisiana. Reach out for a personalized quote after your consultation.

Is chemical peel treatment safe for all skin tones?

Yes, when properly matched to your Fitzpatrick skin type by a trained professional. That's exactly why we never skip the consultation step — it's how we make sure your treatment is both safe and effective for your unique skin.

How often can I get a chemical peel?

This depends on the treatment strength and your skin's response, but most clients do well with a peel every 4 to 6 weeks as part of an ongoing skincare maintenance plan.
