Key takeaways
- We could not verify a published VI Peel price, national or per formula.
- VI says its six formulas are sold and applied only through licensed healthcare professionals.
- VI recommends a series of 3 to 6 peels, so budget for the series, not one peel.
- The AAD says chemical peels are cosmetic and insurance does not cover them.
- Ask each practice which formula the quote covers and whether the post-peel kit is included.
What does a VI Peel cost?
VI Peel is a professional chemical peel line made by the Vitality Institute (VI Aesthetics), which says it offers six formulas — five for the face and one for the body.
Our VI Peel guide covers what the treatment is and how a session runs; this page is only about the bill.
We could not verify a published price for any of the six formulas: we found no prices on VI's site and no VI Peel price — national average or per-formula figure — from any manufacturer, survey or professional source when we checked in October 2026.
What exists instead is the practice quote.
With no verified price list from the maker, the price of a VI Peel is whatever a practice charges for the peel it provides, and two quotes only compare if they name the same formula and the same inclusions.
Plan for an out-of-pocket purchase either way: the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says chemical peels are considered a cosmetic treatment and that insurance does not cover the cost of cosmetic treatments.
If you are weighing peels in general rather than this brand, our chemical peel cost page covers how pricing changes with peel depth and the national figures we could confirm.
Price by variant
The six formulas are distinct products, and VI describes them for different skin concerns:
- VI Peel Original — VI describes it as a first-time peel for all age groups and skin types.
- VI Peel Precision Plus — VI's most popular formula, aimed at pigmentation; its site lists melasma, UV damage and hyperpigmentation.
- VI Peel Purify — VI's acne formula, aimed at dead skin, oil, clogged pores and blemishes.
- VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus — VI's two-in-one for breakouts plus the pigmentation and scarring acne leaves behind.
- VI Peel Advanced — VI's deepest-penetrating formula, aimed at mature skin (VI says age 40 and up) with deep-set wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
- VI Peel Body — VI's formula for areas below the collarbone.
VI describes all six as medium-depth peels that penetrate through the dermal-epidermal junction to the papillary dermis — the maker's description of its own line.
What we cannot add is a price per variant: we found no published price for any formula, and could not verify one from any manufacturer, survey or professional source.
A figure attached to a formula name online is unconfirmed as far as our sources go.
The formulas are also hard to comparison-shop on their contents: we found no per-variant ingredient lists on VI's consumer site, and the lists circulating on retailer and clinic pages are not something we could verify.
If a practice quotes one formula above another, ask what distinguishes the pricier one.
What VI publishes
- Six formulas: five for the face, one for the body
- Which skin concerns each formula is aimed at
- That all six are medium-depth peels
What we could not verify
- A published price for any formula
- Per-variant ingredient lists on VI's consumer site
- The ingredient lists on retailer and clinic pages
Packages
The pricing unit VI itself describes is a series: its FAQ recommends 3 to 6 peels for best results, spaced every 4 to 6 weeks, or 4 peels a year at a seasonal pace for maintenance.
That is the maker's recommendation.
Budget for the series, then: a first course of 3 to 6 peels at a practice's per-peel price means paying that price 3 to 6 times before the course is done.
Whether a package price exists is a question for the practice.
Our sources hold no VI Peel package or series prices, so if a practice sells its peels in a bundle, the terms — what is included, which formulas, how long you have to use them — come from that practice, not from VI.
One cost line worth pinning down is aftercare: VI's guidance says patients use the post-peel kit only, for a full week after the peel.
Ask whether that kit is part of the per-peel price or billed on top of it.

Prices near you
With no published price anywhere in the chain, the number that matters is a current quote from a licensed practice near you.
Quotes compare only when they name the same things, so put these questions on the list when you call:
- Which of the six formulas the price covers
- What the per-peel price includes — the application itself, and whether the post-peel kit is in it
- Whether a series or package price exists, and on what terms
- The total for the course the practice recommends, not just the first peel
- Whether the practice is a VI Peel provider, and who its medical director is — VI says a practice needs a licensed medical director (an MD, DO, PA, RN or NP) to become one
Two or three itemized quotes will tell you more than any figure printed online, because each names the formula, the inclusions and the total for the course the practice actually recommends.
VI's own anti-diversion policy says its peel products "are only available to purchase and apply via a licensed healthcare professional, and not available for consumer purchase," and that peels sold by consumer retailers or online should be considered unsafe. The AAD's overview makes the same point for peels generally: it notes that FDA advises buying and using chemical peels only under a licensed, trained provider, citing injuries from at-home peels.
Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover a VI Peel?
The American Academy of Dermatology describes chemical peels as a cosmetic treatment and says insurance does not cover the cost of cosmetic treatments.
VI Peel is a branded line of professional chemical peels, so a VI Peel sits on the cosmetic side of that line: expect to pay the practice directly.
Whether any exception applies to your plan is a question for your insurer, not something our sources answer.
How many VI Peels will I need?
VI's FAQ recommends a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced every 4 to 6 weeks for best results, or 4 peels a year at a seasonal pace for maintenance.
That is the maker's recommendation, and how many peels suit your skin is a question for the licensed provider you consult.
For budgeting, treat the series — not the single peel — as the purchase.
Can I buy a VI Peel online and do it myself?
VI says its peel products may only be purchased and applied through a licensed healthcare professional and are not available for consumer purchase, and it says peels sold by consumer retailers or online should be considered unsafe.
The American Academy of Dermatology likewise notes that FDA advises buying and using chemical peels only under a licensed, trained provider, citing injuries from at-home peels.
Why is it hard to find VI Peel prices online?
We found no published price for any of its six formulas, and when we checked in October 2026 we could not verify a VI Peel price — national or per formula — from any manufacturer, survey or professional source.
Price comparisons therefore happen practice by practice: a quote should name the formula, what the price includes and the total for the recommended series.
