The Magic of VI Peel: Reverse Summer Sun Damage Before Winter Hits

October 21, 2025

Summer in Cincinnati is a time for outdoor adventures, backyard barbecues, and sun-soaked afternoons at the Ohio River. While these moments create lasting memories, they can also leave a mark on your skin. Even with diligent sunscreen use, summer sun exposure often results in unwanted pigmentation, uneven tone, new fine lines, and textural changes. With winter on the horizon, now is the perfect moment to reverse summer sun damage and restore your skin’s radiance.


At Belle Aesthetics & Skincare, we specialize in personalized, evidence-based treatments, and one of our most effective solutions for post-summer skin recovery is the VI Peel. Discover why this popular chemical peel is the magic touch you need before colder weather arrives.


Understanding Summer Sun Damage—and Why It Matters


The sunny season is hard on your complexion. Here’s what Cincinnati residents experience after months of sun, heat, and humidity:


- Dark spots and hyperpigmentation due to increased melanin production

- Rough texture from UV damage and clogged pores

- Accelerated fine lines and wrinkles from depleted collagen

- Flare-ups of melasma, rosacea, or acne


Without professional intervention, these effects can linger well into fall and winter, dulling your natural glow. The good news? A single treatment with the VI Peel can jumpstart your skin’s recovery, giving you a bright, even complexion once again.


What Makes the VI Peel at Belle Aesthetics & Skincare Unique?


Not all chemical peels are created equal. The VI Peel stands out because of its gentle formulation and broad versatility. Here’s why it’s a client favorite in Cincinnati:


- Powerful ingredients: A blend of minerals, salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, retinoic acid, and TCA targets multiple concerns at once.

- Minimal downtime: Peeling is typically mild and resolves within a week, making it perfect for busy professionals and parents on the go.

- Safe for diverse skin types: The VI Peel is suitable for a wide variety of complexions, including those who experience sensitivity.


How the VI Peel Works to Reverse Sun Damage


At Belle Aesthetics & Skincare in Cincinnati, your VI Peel experience is tailored from start to finish. Here’s what to expect:


- Comprehensive consultation to review your medical and skincare history

- Gentle cleansing to prepare your skin for the peel

- Precise application of the VI Peel solution

- A four-hour leave-on period to maximize penetration and results

- Customized aftercare regimen—including a gentle cleanser, repair cream, and SPF—for optimal dermal protection


Skin Concerns the VI Peel Addresses


- Sun spots and hyperpigmentation

- Uneven tone and rough texture

- Fine lines and early wrinkles

- Acne scars and active breakouts

- Signs of rosacea and melasma


The Benefits of Scheduling Your VI Peel Before Winter


Transitioning to cooler weather is the perfect time for chemical peels. Here’s why Cincinnati patients should consider a VI Peel now:

- Reduced UV intensity means less risk of post-peel complications

- Correct lingering summer sun damage before it becomes more pronounced

- Prepare your skin for harsher winter months, when dryness and dullness are common

- Boost your skin’s response to wintertime products and treatments


Post-Treatment: What to Expect and How to Care for Your Skin


Belle Aesthetics & Skincare prioritizes your comfort and results. Most clients notice brighter, more even skin within a week of their VI Peel. To enhance and protect your results:

- Avoid direct sun exposure and diligently apply sunscreen

- Follow your prescribed Belle aftercare kit

- Skip strenuous exercise and exfoliating products until peeling subsides

- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate—both inside and out


Is the VI Peel Right for You? 


The VI Peel is safe for most adults, but there are a few exceptions. It’s not appropriate for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active cold sores, and some allergies or recent isotretinoin use. Our experienced nurse practitioner, Kelly Carlson, will assess your individual needs during your consultation and recommend the ideal pathway to radiant skin.
