Chemical peel in
Greenville, SC.

A peel is a corrective treatment. The consultation evaluates your skin type, history, current routine, and goals, and selects the right peel strength and protocol for you. It also covers pre-treatment prep, downtime expectations, and aftercare. The Initial Session bundles the consultation with your first peel into one 90-minute appointment.

Med Peel by Vitalibis protocols are formulated to address uneven tone, texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation. The line offers a range of peel strengths so the protocol can be matched to your skin and corrective goals.

A series of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is typical for visible corrective change. Maintenance sessions every quarter keep results steady once the initial series is complete. The treatment plan is tailored at consultation.

Light to moderate flaking and shedding for three to seven days, depending on peel strength. Most clients can return to normal life the same day with SPF and gentle skincare. Stronger peels may extend recovery a few days. Realistic expectations are set at consultation.

Anyone pregnant or nursing, currently using isotretinoin or having used it in the last six months, with active cold sores in the treatment area, or with very recent sun exposure or sunburn. Some skin conditions and medications require additional review at consultation.

Texture often improves after the first session. Tone, fine lines, and scarring change more gradually across a series. The full effect of a peel series usually becomes clearly visible six to twelve weeks after the final treatment.

Yes, with the right protocol. Med Peel by Vitalibis includes peels suitable across the full Fitzpatrick scale, including Fitzpatrick IV through VI. The consultation matches strength to skin type and reviews any history of hyperpigmentation before any treatment.

Most peels cause a brief warm or tingling sensation during application that fades within minutes. A handheld fan and cool compresses are used as needed. Discomfort is mild and short. The skin feels tight afterward, similar to a sunburn that calms within hours.

Light flaking around the nose, chin, and forehead is normal three to five days after a gentle peel. Stronger protocols cause more visible shedding for up to a week. Picking or pulling the skin is not allowed — it can cause hyperpigmentation. The studio sends a detailed aftercare note after every session.
