VI Peel + Tox Booster: The Ultimate Skin-Rejuvenation Duo

If you’re looking for a treatment that smooths texture, softens wrinkles, brightens discoloration, and delivers firmer, more refined skin, all with long-lasting results, the VI Peel with Tox Booster at Scrubd Esthetics is one of the most effective anti-aging combinations available. This advanced pairing brings together a medical-grade chemical peel and a precisely dosed neurotoxin add-on, allowing each treatment to amplify the other in a way neither can achieve alone.

In this guide, you’ll learn what makes the VI Peel unique, how the Tox Booster works, and why research shows up to 60% greater wrinkle reduction when the two are used together. You’ll also get a clear understanding of who benefits most from the treatment and what to expect before, during, and after your appointment.

What Is a VI Peel?

The VI Peel is a medium-depth, medical-grade peel designed to target multiple layers of the skin at once. Its formulation blends TCA, salicylic acid, retinoids, vitamin C, and phenol to exfoliate damaged cells while stimulating fresh collagen. For patients dealing with sun damage, pigmentation, acne, scarring, fine lines, uneven texture, or general dullness, the VI Peel provides a controlled and predictable way to reset the skin. 

Within a few days of treatment, the top layers begin to shed, revealing smoother, brighter skin with improved clarity. Because the peel continues to stimulate collagen long after visible peeling has stopped, the results progress for weeks, leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more even.

What Is the Tox Booster Add-On?

The Tox Booster is a strategic enhancement performed immediately after applying the VI Peel. Using a small, precise dose of a neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify) we target the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles.

This step helps relax expression patterns that would normally interfere with collagen regeneration during the peel’s healing phase. By softening movement at the exact moment the skin is remodeling itself, the neurotoxin allows the peel to produce more uniform, longer-lasting results. At Scrubd, this portion of the treatment is performed thoughtfully and conservatively to complement your facial anatomy rather than freeze it.

Why Pair the VI Peel with a Tox Booster? (The Science Behind the Combo)

The synergy between these treatments is backed by clinical evidence, not just aesthetic preference. A 2024 study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology examined the combined ToxBooster approach and found that patients who received both treatments achieved dramatically better results than those who had neurotoxin alone.

Participants experienced:

  • 60% reduction in wrinkles compared to 37% with neurotoxin only

  • 59% decrease in hyperpigmentation

  • 70% improvement in tone and texture

  • Near-universal satisfaction, with 96% saying they’d repeat the treatment

  • 100% reporting visible improvement by day 30

These results make sense when you consider how the skin heals. During the post-peel phase, collagen is actively rebuilding. If facial movement continues, as it normally does, those repeated folds interrupt the process. Neurotoxin prevents this disruption, giving the skin a stable environment to remodel with fewer creases and more uniform collagen deposition.

The VI Peel, meanwhile, accelerates cellular turnover, clears pigment, and improves texture. These effects become even more pronounced when paired with reduced muscle activity. Together, they address dynamic lines, static wrinkles, uneven tone, sun damage, and early laxity all at once.

This is why the combination consistently outperforms either treatment alone: the peel renews the surface, and the neurotoxin protects that renewal throughout the healing process.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the VI Peel + Tox Booster at Scrubd?

This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking more noticeable, long-lasting improvement than a single peel or neurotoxin session can provide. It’s perfect for blending prevention and correction, softening existing lines while slowing the formation of new ones.

Patients who may benefit the most include those experiencing:

  • Uneven tone or pigmentation

  • Sun damage

  • Early signs of aging

  • Dullness or lack of radiance

  • Textural changes

Because the VI Peel is formulated to be safe for a broad range of skin tones, it offers versatility for many of our patients at Scrubd.

Winter is also an excellent time to schedule this treatment. With lower UV exposure, the skin can recover safely and evenly, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation, and making it a popular choice for a seasonal skin refresh.

What to Expect: During & After Your VI Peel + Tox Booster

Your treatment starts with a focused consultation, this is where our medical professionals assess your skin, goals, and sensitivities to ensure the peel and neurotoxin plan is tailored specifically to you.

Step 1: Peel Application
After cleansing and prepping the skin, the VI Peel is applied in controlled layers. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation as it begins working to resurface pigment, refine texture, calm acne, and brighten overall clarity.

Step 2: Tox Booster Placement
Once the peel is set, your provider performs the Tox Booster with precise, micro-dosed injections placed only where needed to soften muscle movement without freezing expression.

  • You’ll start to notice the effects of the neurotoxin in 3–5 days.

  • Full settling happens around day 10–14, supporting a smoother healing phase and longer-lasting refinement.

Healing & Aftercare

The healing process unfolds in stages, and each phase is intentional:

Day 1–2: Post-Treatment Tightness
Your skin may feel tight, warm, or slightly red. Avoid sweating, exercise, heat, and touching the treated area.

Day 3–5: Visible Peeling Begins
Gentle, sheet-like peeling is normal. Do not pick or pull. Use the VI Peel post-care kit as directed to protect the skin barrier and support even exfoliation.

Day 5–7: Fresh Skin Reveals
Peeling slows, and brighter, clearer skin begins to emerge. Continue hydrating, moisturizing, and avoiding active ingredients.

After Day 10: Tox Fully Settles
As the neurotoxin reaches full effect, you’ll notice smoother expression lines and enhanced refinement. This synergy helps extend the glow and results from your peel.

Results You Can Expect

The VI Peel + Tox Booster offers a comprehensive rejuvenation effect that extends beyond surface-level refinement. Fine lines soften, pores appear smaller, and pigmentation becomes more even. The skin often looks clearer, brighter, and more polished within the first month.

Because the peel enhances the neurotoxin’s long-term performance, many patients notice their smoothness lasting longer than with neurotoxin alone. This makes the treatment popular before events, during seasonal skin resets, or as part of a corrective series for sustained improvement.

The VI Peel with Tox Booster is one of the most efficient ways to rejuvenate, brighten, and refine your skin in a single visit. At Scrubd, every treatment is customized to your goals, your skin type, and your long-term plan so you get results that look effortless, natural, and elevated.
