A luminous, even complexion requires consistent, specialized care. In New Orleans, the combination of intense sun and constant humidity naturally impacts your skin over time, creating subtle texture changes and uneven pigment. When your daily serums reach their limit, a professional exfoliation provides the exact reset your face needs. At the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters and our clinical team offer a highly effective, medical-grade treatment. This precise application cleanly lifts away surface damage to reveal beautifully glowing skin, delivering a refreshed, polished appearance that integrates seamlessly into your routine.
A VI Peel is a premier, medical-grade chemical peel treatment engineered for profound facial refinement. Blending precise, potent ingredients like salicylic acid, vitamin C, retinoic acid, and phenol, this advanced VI peel solution safely and elegantly lifts the compromised top layer of your tissue.
Many light skin treatments and over-the-counter exfoliating products only graze the surface. This specific peel is a medium-depth clinical powerhouse. It reaches further into the dermis to correct structural imperfections with impressive efficiency. The formulation is exclusively cleared to be safe for all skin types, including dark skin tones that are frequently sensitive to other chemical peels. It represents a highly reliable standard in modern facial resurfacing.

We use this highly specific peel to expertly treat a wide spectrum of aesthetic concerns. A VI peel treatment comprehensively addresses:

The mechanism behind how the VI peel works is brilliant in its efficiency. It uses a tailored chemical formulation to prompt the seamless shedding of your damaged outer layer. This targeted exfoliation naturally signals the dermis to accelerate collagen production, pushing fresh, resilient skin cells to the surface. It's a highly effective, dual-action process designed to improve skin texture and improve skin tone from within.
Adding VI Peels to your aesthetic routine provides exceptional dividends for your overall appearance.
Healthy individuals seeking to erase fine lines, resolve congestion, or correct environmental damage are exceptional candidates. If you possess discerning standards and desire a luminous, refined appearance, this formulation will exceed your expectations while remaining incredibly straightforward.
Patients experiencing severely inflamed skin, an active infection, or active cold sores must wait until their skin condition fully resolves before proceeding. If you are currently pregnant or nursing, we will delay this treatment for your safety. Furthermore, individuals seeking to eradicate very deep scars generally require laser cosmetic procedures to achieve comprehensive resurfacing.
Preparing your tissue properly guarantees a flawless outcome. We recommend a few minor adjustments prior to your visit:
Your experience at our medspa is designed to be as refined and efficient as your ultimate results.

You may comfortably return to your day in New Orleans. Your face will appear radiant, perhaps slightly flushed or tight, for the first 48 hours.
Anticipate a brief retreat from high-profile events starting around day 3, when heavy, visible peeling begins.
It is extremely important to forgo intense workouts, saunas, and steam rooms for the first 72 hours to prevent blistering. You must allow the peeling skin to shed naturally without interference or picking.
Nurture your healing tissue. Use a gentle moisturizer, apply your specialized repair cream, and protect your investment with a premium physical sunscreen daily. Your new skin will be highly sensitive to light.
The shedding phase is a necessary step in the process, paving the way for a beautiful, rapid transformation. You will experience near instant results upon completion of the flaking cycle.
To achieve optimal results for severe melasma or deep pigmentation, a curated series of 3 to 4 peels may be recommended. You will observe stunning VI peel results following just your first treatment.




Your luminous complexion will maintain its desired results for 3 to 4 months. To preserve your optimal results at their absolute peak, we recommend integrating quarterly maintenance chemical peels into your skincare regimen.
Absolutely. Our most discerning patients seamlessly weave chemical exfoliation into a broader aesthetic strategy. Alternating VI Peels with neurotoxins or dermal fillers cultivates a comprehensive, elevated aesthetic that remains effortlessly flawless year-round.

Yes. This sophisticated blend is clinically proven to safely treat dark skin, establishing a new gold standard for treating hyperpigmentation while protecting against secondary skin discoloration.
We advise pausing your cosmetic routine while actively shedding (days 3 through 5) to protect the pristine tissue from bacteria. Once complete, your makeup will glide on beautifully.
Shedding the compromised outer layer through this clinical process actively stimulates collagen production, structurally fortifying and thickening your tissue over time.
