Is the Vi Peel Safe to Use at Home? Effective? Is the Vi peel a type of enzyme peel? I heard of this peel(Vi peel) that people can use at home because its so gentle. I was told that that this peel would be good for those using Obaji products which can cause the skin to desquamate in some cases. This peel is supposed to be so gentle you can do it at home everyday to help eleviate a lot of this dead scaling skin so that the peeling effect is not that bad.

A: Vi Peel is not for home use.

I am not sure where you heard this information, but the Vi peel is certainly not a 'gentle peel' and would never be recommended for home use. It is a combination of TCA, Phenol, salicylic acid and a few other ingredients, that was originally formulated for acne and hyperpigmentation. This a peel that estheticians can use only under the supervision of a physician. It is a very good chemical peel, but if used improperly can have some serious side effects.

Is Hyperpigmentation After Vi Peel Permanent? I had Vi Peel on April 2, and my face became two shades darker. Is this permanent? I'm a light-skinned African-American and I'm really scared.

A: Post Vi peel pigmentation

The post inflammatory hyperpigmentation should resolve. Use of a steroid cream and hydroquinones can be helpful. IS Clinical Active Solution has a mushroom extract that can help with this matter. Stay out of the sun! Apply sunblock. Give it a tincture of time.

	“Vi Peel - Gambrills, MD” The reason why I got the Vi Peel was because I was told that it will significantly improve the texture and appearance of my face. Granted that initially made my face dry, then eventually peeled, there were some areas of my face where it improved. But it wasn't the drastic improvement I was hoping for. If the treatment was cheaper, then perhaps I would do it again to see if there... more
	“I Paid $350 in Waldorf, Maryland...” I had my peel in March 2010 and my skin was horrible before, no acne present but lots of acne scarring, dark spots from previous acne and I would not go out to the mailbox without foundation or allow my husband to see me without it, I even slept with it because I was ashamed of anyone seeing me - I am a beautiful woman but those scars actually made me look like I was ugly. Days after I had... more
	“Waste of Money - Never Peeled” I had the peel following a micro derma brasion facial. My face got red and tight but I never peeled? Ok.. alittle flaking.. no results. Big waste of money. They office wanted to charge me an extra $200 to come in and re-do the peel? more
	“So Far, So Good with Vi Peel...” I'm writing my review from my honest experience. I read so many horror stories on here I almost didn't get it done. I have very sensitive skin. I'm a fair skinned african american. I got the peel to reduce acne scars and uneven pigmentation.I just had the VI peel done yesterday at 4pm. They applied the solution and it stung a little bit but more
	“Healing May Not Be As Advertised So...” I found the application as the literature promised and not at all unpleasant- except for the smell which was unbelievably strong.But the healing was NOT as described in the literature so take into consideration when planning for work and subsequent activities. Even my aesthetician informed me that healing would likely take longer, to only to apply make up after peeling was complete, and not to... more
