Renew Skin Tone and Texture Below the Face

Medical-grade VI Body Peel treatments available in Barrington for chest, back, arms, and more

When sun damage, uneven tone, or rough texture affect areas like your chest, back, or arms, a VI Body Peel can help renew the skin by promoting exfoliation and new cell turnover. At Bombay Laser in Barrington, this medical-grade chemical peel is formulated specifically for body skin, addressing pigmentation, aging signs, acne scarring, and texture irregularities in larger treatment areas.


The peel works by applying a solution that breaks down damaged outer layers of skin, allowing fresh, healthier skin to surface over the course of about seven days. It is typically safe for all skin types and can be used on areas like the chest, underarms, back, and arms where skin may show signs of aging or sun exposure that facial treatments cannot address.

  • How the Peel Is Applied and What Follows

    Your VI Body Peel session in Barrington begins with cleansing the treatment area to remove oils and impurities. The peel solution is then applied evenly across the skin and left on for a prescribed period before you leave the office. You will be given specific aftercare instructions, including when to rinse the peel and how to care for your skin as it begins to shed.


    Results can show in about seven days. Over the next week, you will notice peeling and flaking as the damaged outer layers of skin lift away, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath. The process is gradual and may look similar to light sunburn peeling at first.


    You should avoid direct sun exposure, picking at peeling skin, and using harsh exfoliants during the healing period. Moisturizing and sun protection are critical to support the new skin as it forms. This treatment is not a quick fix but a controlled process that requires patience and proper aftercare to achieve the best results.

You probably want to know what to expect

Many people ask about the peeling process, how long downtime lasts, and whether the peel is uncomfortable. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear at Bombay Laser about VI Body Peels.


  • What does the peeling process look like? Peeling usually begins around day three and can last for several days. It often looks like flaking or shedding skin, similar to a sunburn peel, and should not be picked or pulled.
  • How long does it take to see results? Most people see noticeable improvement in tone and texture around seven days after the peel, once the damaged skin has fully shed and new skin is visible.
  • What areas of the body can be treated? VI Body Peels are commonly used on the chest, back, arms, and underarms. They work well on areas with sun damage, uneven pigmentation, or rough texture.
  • How many treatments are needed? Some people see improvement after one peel, but a series of two to three treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and goals.
  • What should I avoid after a VI Body Peel? Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, vigorous exercise, and picking at peeling skin. Use a gentle moisturizer and apply sunscreen daily to protect new skin as it heals in Barrington.
