VI Peels In Hollywood, FL
In-person and telehealth appointments available
Why Your VI Peel Provider Matters More Than the Peel Itself
The VI Peel formula is powerful on its own, but the clinical decision behind which formulation to use and how to apply it determines whether you get a generic improvement or a targeted transformation. At Revive 365 Wellness in Hollywood, FL, that decision is made by board-certified Physician Assistants, not aesthetics technicians.
Tracee Block-Trapanese, PA-C, MPH brings a Master of Public Health credential that most med spa providers do not have. That training means she evaluates skin concerns through a population-health lens, understanding how factors like ethnicity, hormonal patterns, and environmental exposure interact with treatment outcomes. Cyndi Gavilanes, PA-C complements that perspective with deep hands-on clinical experience across the full range of skin types and conditions.
Together, they bring something uncommon in the Hollywood, FL med spa market: two board-certified clinical minds working your case rather than one. When your skin concern is straightforward, that depth is a quality advantage. When it is complex, involving melasma with hormonal drivers, darker skin tones requiring careful acid concentration, or active medications that affect healing, it becomes a safety advantage.
Most med spas in Broward County delegate VI Peels to staff who follow a protocol sheet. Revive 365 follows a patient.
Understanding VI Peel and How Does It Work
A VI Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that combines five synergistic ingredients to remove damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and accelerate cellular turnover. Revive 365 Wellness customizes every VI Peel in Hollywood, FL to the individual patient rather than applying a standard formula.
The five active ingredients each serve a distinct role. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) penetrates the mid-dermis to break down damaged tissue and trigger new cell growth. Salicylic acid clears pores and controls active acne and excess oil production. Phenol works at a deeper level to improve skin texture and firmness. Retinoic acid accelerates cellular turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis. Vitamin C brightens tone and provides antioxidant protection while fading existing pigmentation.
These ingredients do not just sit side by side. They work in sequence. TCA creates pathways for the deeper-acting acids to penetrate more effectively, while Vitamin C protects the newly exposed layers from oxidative stress during the renewal process.
The VI Peel is validated safe and effective across all six Fitzpatrick skin types, from Type I (very fair) through Type VI (deeply pigmented). For patients in Hollywood, FL, where the community includes a wide range of skin tones, that validated inclusivity is not a footnote. It is a reason to choose this peel over alternatives that carry higher risk for melanin-rich skin.
What Can a VI Peel Treat?
VI Peels in Hollywood, FL address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, rough texture, and uneven tone. Most patients at Revive 365 Wellness see noticeable improvement within seven days of their first peel.
Hyperpigmentation and dark spots lift as damaged, melanin-heavy cells shed and healthy skin replaces them. Melasma patches fade through targeted suppression of excess pigment production. Acne scars and post-inflammatory marks soften as the peel stimulates collagen remodeling beneath the scarred surface. Fine lines and rough texture smooth out through accelerated cellular turnover. Sun damage accumulated from years of South Florida living begins to reverse at the dermal level, not just the surface.
The VI Peel works at the mid-dermis, which is deeper than superficial peels can reach. That depth is what produces lasting change rather than a temporary glow that fades within a week.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your VI Peel
A VI Peel at Revive 365 Wellness takes 20 to 30 minutes in the office. The solution stays on your skin for four to five hours before you wash it off at home. Mild peeling starts around Day 3 and resolves by Day 7. Most patients return to their daily routine immediately after the appointment.
Preparing for Your VI Peel
Stop using retinoids, exfoliating acids, and waxing at least five to seven days before your appointment. Your provider at Revive 365 will give you specific pre-care instructions tailored to your selected formulation and skin type.
During the Treatment
Your skin is gently cleansed to remove oil and debris. The VI Peel solution is applied in two phases: first to the surface layer, then deeper into the dermis where the real renewal happens. You may feel mild warmth or tingling during application. The full appointment takes 20 to 30 minutes. No anesthesia. No recovery room. You walk out and continue your day.
Recovery Day by Day
- Day 1: Skin looks normal. No visible changes yet.
- Day 2 to 3: Mild tightness and slight darkening as skin prepares to shed.
- Day 3 to 5: Visible peeling starts, usually most noticeable around the nose, chin, and forehead.
- Day 5 to 7: Peeling winds down and fresh, smoother skin emerges underneath.
- Day 7 to 10: Final results become visible with clearer tone, refined texture, and reduced discoloration.
Caring for Your Skin After Treatment
Wear SPF 50+ every day without exception. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week. Skip retinoids, exfoliating acids, and intense exercise for two to three days. Use the VI Peel post-care kit your provider sends home with you. Do not pick, scratch, or pull peeling skin. Let the shedding process complete on its own for the strongest results.
VI Peel Results and How Many Treatments You Need
Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single VI Peel at Revive 365 Wellness, with final results appearing between Day 7 and Day 10. For deeper concerns like melasma, moderate acne scarring, or extensive sun damage, two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart produce the strongest outcomes.
The first treatment does the heaviest lifting. It clears damaged surface layers and activates collagen production deep in the dermis. Each follow-up peel builds on that foundation, progressively refining tone and texture. Tracee Block-Trapanese, PA-C, MPH and Cyndi Gavilanes, PA-C evaluate your skin after each session and adjust the plan as your skin responds.
Results typically hold for several months with proper maintenance. Daily SPF, a gentle retinoid routine introduced after full healing, and periodic maintenance peels compound your results over time. Many Revive 365 patients in Hollywood, FL return every three to four months for a maintenance peel to keep their skin at peak quality.
Revive 365 also offers peptide therapy that supports collagen production and cellular repair from the inside. Patients who pair their VI Peel series with targeted peptide protocols often see enhanced and longer-lasting results because the skin receives renewal support from both the surface and the internal leve
Who Is a Good Candidate for VI Peels in Hollywood, FL?
Most adults with concerns about skin clarity, tone, or texture are strong candidates for VI Peels in Hollywood, FL. At Revive 365 Wellness, your provider evaluates your skin type, medical history, and treatment goals before recommending a formulation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
You may be a strong candidate if you have persistent hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or melasma that topical products have not resolved. Patients looking to soften acne scars or post-inflammatory marks respond well to VI Peels. If you are frustrated by fine lines, rough texture, or cumulative sun damage, a VI Peel can produce meaningful visible change. Many patients arrive at Revive 365 after years of over-the-counter skincare that never delivered the results they needed.
The VI Peel is also one of the few medical-grade peels validated across all six Fitzpatrick skin types. For Hollywood’s diverse community, that means patients with darker or sensitive complexions can receive a powerful peel without the elevated risk that comes with many alternatives.
VI Peels are generally not recommended during pregnancy, active skin infections, or for patients currently using certain prescription medications. Your provider at Revive 365 Wellness will confirm candidacy during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About VI Peels in Hollywood, FL
Is a VI Peel safe for all skin tones?
Yes. The VI Peel is one of the few medical-grade chemical peels validated safe and effective across all six Fitzpatrick skin types, including Types V and VI (darker and deeply pigmented skin). The formulation is specifically designed to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the main complication concern when applying chemical peels to melanin-rich skin. At Revive 365 Wellness, your board-certified provider selects the VI Peel formulation best suited to your skin tone and sensitivity level.
How many VI Peel sessions will I need?
Most patients see real improvement after one treatment. For deeper issues like melasma, established acne scarring, or years of accumulated sun damage, Revive 365 Wellness generally recommends two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your provider assesses your skin’s progress after each treatment and adjusts the plan based on how you are responding. Maintenance peels every three to four months help sustain and build on your results.
What makes a VI Peel different from a regular chemical peel?
A VI Peel uses five synergistic ingredients (TCA, salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, and Vitamin C) that penetrate to the mid-dermal level. Most standard peels use a single acid and reach only the skin’s surface. The result is deeper, longer-lasting renewal with validated safety across all skin tones and shorter recovery. Unlike many medium-depth peels, the VI Peel requires no pre-treatment skin conditioning before your appointment.
How long is the recovery after a VI Peel?
Recovery is minimal. You can return to your normal schedule right after the 20 to 30 minute appointment. Mild peeling typically begins around Day 3 and finishes by Day 7. Your skin may appear flaky or slightly discolored during shedding, but the post-care kit from Revive 365 Wellness keeps the process comfortable. Avoid direct sun, retinoids, and strenuous exercise for the first few days.
What happens if I pick at the peeling skin?
Picking, scratching, or pulling at peeling skin can cause scarring, uneven healing, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The peeling process is your skin shedding damaged layers to reveal healthier tissue underneath. Interrupting it forces uneven cell removal that can leave marks worse than what you started with. Let the peel shed naturally and follow the post-care instructions provided by your provider at Revive 365 Wellness.
How long do results from a VI Peel last?
Results from a single VI Peel generally last several months. Duration depends on your skin type, the concern treated, your sun exposure habits, and your daily skincare routine. Consistent SPF 50+ use and a gentle retinoid regimen after full healing extend results meaningfully. Patients at Revive 365 Wellness in Hollywood, FL who schedule a maintenance peel every three to four months see compounding improvement over time.
Does Revive 365 Wellness see patients from outside Hollywood, FL?
Yes.
