Can a VI peel remove blackheads?

Yes, a VI Peel can be helpful for reducing blackheads. Here’s how:

  • Deep Exfoliation: The VI Peel acids penetrate your pores, dissolving the oil, dead skin cells, and debris that form blackheads.
  • Salicylic Acid: A key ingredient in many VI Peels, salicylic acid is particularly effective for clearing clogged pores due to its oil-soluble nature.
  • Cell Turnover: By increasing cell turnover, a VI Peel prevents dead skin cells from building up and clogging pores in the first place, preventing new blackheads.
  • Post-Peel Extraction: Sometimes, a VI Peel might loosen blackheads enough for an AIVI Aesthetics aesthetician to easily extract them during your appointment or a subsequent facial.

While a VI Peel might not magically erase every single blackhead, it can be a beneficial part of a comprehensive blackhead treatment plan.
