Do you offer different kinds of VI peels?

Yes. We offer several formulations for your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, each tailored to different skin concerns, including: The Traditional VI Peel : Our most versatile solution, which gently exfoliates, targeting fine lines, pigment, and uneven tone with minimal downtime. VI Purify With Precision Plus : Designed for acne-prone and hyperpigmented skin, this powerful formula clears congestion, softens scars, and brightens dull skin. VI Peel Body : Formulated for areas beyond the face, such as the arms, back, and chest, to address texture and coloration concerns. During your consultation, Dr. Akis will assess your skin’s current state and discuss your concerns, habits, and overall vision to determine the most effective formula.

How do I decide between a VI peel and BBL treatment?

At Aion Aesthetics, we offer a range of skin rejuvenation therapies with the BBL HERO device, as well as concern-specific options for a VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC. Both approaches are gentle and offer effective enhancements, but accomplish this differently. VI peels rely on chemical exfoliation to gently remove damaged skin cells from the surface while encouraging repair, improving texture, reducing hyperpigmentation, and calming acne. Our BBL (broadband light) therapies address vascular lesions and deeper-rooted sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and skin aging. Both techniques help your skin shed and replace old, damaged cells with stronger, healthier ones, but they work at different depths. Dr. Akis will help you decide between a BBL treatment and a VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, and may even recommend combining them based on the source of your specific concerns.

How do I prepare for a VI peel?

Before your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, avoid retinols, waxing, and aggressive exfoliants for at least 5 days, as these can over-exfoliate your skin. Avoid exposing the treatment area to the sun and tanning beds for 2 weeks, as sun damage increases sensitivity and irritation. If you’re struggling with active breakouts or have any sensitivities, please let Dr. Akis know so we can customize your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC.

Is there any downtime from a VI peel?

Yes, but it’s less extensive than traditional peels. About 3 to 5 days after your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, your skin will peel. This means that your skin has responded to treatment and is shedding its damaged cells. Do not pick at or manually peel your skin during this time. Allow your body to complete the natural repair process. During the first 5 days, avoid exercise, hot showers, and steam, which can trigger inflammation. Use the post-care kit Dr. Akis provides as directed, and continue to avoid sun exposure—always apply SPF 50 or higher. The shedding process typically ends within 7 days of your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, after which you can apply makeup again.

When will I see results from a VI peel?

For about a week after your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, your skin sheds its damaged cells. Once this renewal process is complete and healthier skin cells have come to the surface, you’ll notice a brighter tone, smoother texture, and more even pigmentation. However, your results improve over the weeks following your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, as your collagen levels rise.

How long will my results last?

When you come to Aion Aesthetics for a VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, your results can last for several months, depending on your skin type and skincare habits. Typically, Dr. Akis recommends a series of 4 treatments, each spaced about 6 weeks apart, to achieve noticeable, lasting improvements. After your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, protect your skin from the sun to help your results last. Based on your situation, Dr. Akis will craft a plan that aligns with your schedule and long-term skin goals to maintain your results.

About Aion

Hyperpigmentation

Because your skin cells produce melanin, the substance that gives skin its color, independently of one another, your skin can darken in some areas, but not in others. At Aion, we can gently break apart these melanin deposits with a VI peel.

In the Upper East Side, NYC, Dr. Akis tailors your VI peel to address hyperpigmentation, including sun spots and melasma, at its root. By intentionally combining active ingredients, like salicylic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), we help your skin shed uneven, unwanted pigmentation. Here, a custom VI peel in the Upper East Side reveals the clear, radiant skin that’s always been there.

Acne & Acne Scarring

We understand the frustration of persistent breakouts and the lasting marks they can leave behind. At Aion Aesthetics, we give your skin the boost it needs to overcome active acne and acne scars with a VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC.

By clearing congested pores, calming inflammation, and supporting collagen production, this unique peel targets acne at every stage. When performing your VI peel in the Upper East Side, Dr. Akis draws from his years of clinical experience to support your skin’s clarity and long-term health without relying on aggressive or ongoing medication.

Fine Lines

Your skin produces less collagen with age, becoming less resilient. The more fragile your skin is, the more prone it becomes to developing fine lines, especially in delicate areas, like around the eyes and mouth. Our VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, softens these lines and helps your skin rebuild to preserve your beauty.

Working beneath your skin’s surface, Dr. Akis uses active ingredients to stimulate collagen production. While you may notice improvements in your complexion just a few days after your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, your results build over the following months.

Sun Damage

As the leading cause of premature aging, the sun damages your skin on a cellular level. At Aion Aesthetics, we give your skin the power to renew itself with a custom VI peel.

In the Upper East Side, NYC, Dr. Akis intentionally combines ingredients in your peel solution to address dark spots, roughness, and dullness caused by UV rays. This not only gently removes sun-damaged cells from the surface but also encourages newer, more radiant cells to emerge. With consistency, a VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, visibly reverses the toll the sun takes on your skin.

Dull, Uneven Tone

When your skin struggles to renew itself, it can lose its radiance. Slow renewal not only affects your skin’s health, but can also impact how you see yourself and feel in your skin. At Aion Aesthetics, we tailor your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, to brighten your complexion and your outlook.

Dr. Akis intentionally selects each formula to support your skin and your vision, meeting your skin where it needs help most to balance oils, minimize pores, and improve overall quality. After your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, your inner radiance becomes visible on the outside, one layer at a time.

Keratosis Pilaris

Caused by a build-up of keratin in your hair follicles, keratosis pilaris is most common on the arms, thighs, and cheeks, and changes how your skin looks and feels. While physically harmless, it causes small but persistent bumps that can make you feel frustrated and uncomfortable in your skin. Our VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, goes beyond topical creams and exfoliants, and may soften and improve the appearance of these bumps.

Dr. Akis formulates your VI peel in the Upper East Side, NYC, to refine your skin’s surface and calm inflammation. By simultaneously smoothing and evening out your skin, we renew your confidence in areas you once kept covered.
