VI Peel in Gwinnett County. Medical-grade results in 7 days.
Medical-grade VI Peel in Gwinnett County at Tactus Health. Targets hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Applied by our licensed aestheticians under Dr. Ashar’s direct oversight.
Your Skin Has Been Through a Lot.
This Is How You Reset It.
Sun damage from Georgia summers. Hormonal breakouts that never fully cleared. Spots that faded but never disappeared. A dullness that no serum has been able to fix. These are not vanity concerns. They are the accumulated effects of biology, environment, and time on skin that deserves better. The VI Peel is not a spa treatment. It is a medical-grade intervention that goes deeper than any over-the-counter product can reach, treating the layers where pigment forms, where acne scars settle, and where collagen breaks down.
What Is the VI Peel?
The VI Peel is a medium-depth medical-grade chemical peel using a proprietary blend of five active ingredients: Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), Retin-A (tretinoin), Salicylic Acid, Phenol, and Vitamin C. Each ingredient works at a different layer of the skin, addressing hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines, and texture simultaneously.
Unlike superficial spa peels, the VI Peel penetrates into the papillary dermis, triggering controlled exfoliation and collagen remodeling. The treatment is applied in the clinic and takes approximately 30 minutes. Patients then take the peel home, and the process completes over 7 days as the outer layers of skin shed naturally.
The VI Peel was originally developed to treat melasma and hyperpigmentation in patients with darker Fitzpatrick skin types , populations historically underserved by chemical peel treatments. It remains one of the few medical-grade peels proven effective and safe across all skin tones.
Medical-grade requires medical oversight. The VI Peel contains prescription-strength Retin-A and phenol. At Tactus Health, our licensed aestheticians apply every VI Peel under Dr. Ashar’s direct clinical oversight. Formula selection is approved by Dr. Ashar before every treatment. This is not a spa service.
Five Ingredients. Seven Days. One Reset.
TCA penetrates to the papillary dermis to trigger exfoliation and collagen remodeling. Retin-A speeds cellular turnover. Salicylic Acid clears congestion and targets active acne. Phenol enhances penetration with mild numbing. Vitamin C brightens and inhibits melanin.
The result is a controlled wound-healing response that replaces damaged, pigmented, or acne-scarred skin cells with new ones. Improved tone, reduced pigmentation, and smoother texture , visible by day 7.

Who Applies the Peel Matters
Licensed Aestheticians · Under Dr. Ashar’s Direct Clinical Oversight
Our licensed aestheticians apply every VI Peel at Tactus Health under Dr. Ashar’s direct clinical oversight. Dr. Ashar approves every formula selection before each treatment based on your Fitzpatrick type, active conditions, and treatment history. Our aestheticians have deep experience matching VI Peel formulas across the full Fitzpatrick spectrum, with particular expertise treating hyperpigmentation and melasma in darker skin tones.
Medical Oversight on Every Peel.
At most spas, chemical peels are applied from a standard menu with no meaningful clinical oversight. At Tactus Health, your skin is assessed by our medical team and your formula is approved by Dr. Ashar before every single treatment.
Our licensed aestheticians apply every VI Peel under that oversight, managing your treatment protocol across a series and coordinating your aftercare. Your peel is matched to your skin, not to a menu item.

What to Expect: Your VI Peel Visit and 7-Day Process
Our licensed aesthetician evaluates your Fitzpatrick skin type, active skin conditions, current skincare products, and treatment goals under Dr. Ashar’s oversight. The correct VI Peel formula is selected and approved by Dr. Ashar, and your team explains the 7-day process in full. Treatment is not performed the same day unless you choose it.
Skin is cleansed and prepped. Our licensed aesthetician applies the VI Peel solution in layers under Dr. Ashar’s oversight. You will feel warmth and mild tingling during application that resolves within minutes. You leave with your post-peel kit and written aftercare instructions.
Skin may feel tight, appear slightly swollen, or look darker. This is normal. Resist the urge to exfoliate, pick, or use active skincare. Apply your post-peel kit as directed. Moisturize and use SPF religiously. Visible peeling typically begins around day 3.
Peeling is most visible during days 3-5 and typically complete by day 7. Apply the post-peel protectant provided to manage flaking. Makeup is permitted to cover peeling skin. By day 7, new skin is visible: brighter, clearer, and more even in tone.
Every VI Peel at Tactus Health includes a post-peel kit with towelettes, protectant, and SPF. Your aftercare instructions are written, specific to your formula, and reviewed with you at your treatment appointment. If you have questions during your 7-day process, our team is reachable directly.
