So I just had my first peel 4 days ago. It was a vi peel & Im prob just freakin out, but was wondering if its norm for the new skin to be red & super sensitive. Its to the point that even the cleaner & moisturizer burns. Im using the stuff from my derm office, so im not sure why this is happening. Even the vi sunscreen seems to burn my "new skin". Also, yesterday my lips started to burn a little & have been burning every since. Sorta feels like they are wind burned…is that normal too? Thanks
Answer: Are These Vi Peel Side Effects Normal? What you are experiencing seems normal. Everyone reacts differently to the treatment. Some see lots of peeling, some not so much. Peeling is usually seen on day 3 to 6. You are still early on in the rejuvenation process. It is important to keep moisturizing as directed. Do not peel sheets of skin that might peel off. That all said, it is still OK to contact your board certified plastic surgeon's office to tell them your concerns, and make sure that you are following his/her directions.

Answer: Are These Vi Peel Side Effects Normal? The Vi peel is a mid-depth peel that does include some sensitivity during the recovery. Applying the post peel protectant and sunscreen can sometimes have a "burning sensation" for a couple of minutes but should subside. Applying a thin layer of aquafor several times a day can provide added comfort and moisture to the skin as it is healing. What you are describing sounds normal for this particular peel but you will want to follow up with the office where it was performed to rule out any potential allergic reactions. Best wishes.

Answer: VI Peel Thank you for your message! It is possible these are normal results! Everyone responds a bit differently to resurfacing procedures, but often people are red, sensitive, and/or peeling afterwards. I would use products that are even more gentle. Products such as Aquaphor or Cerave may help reduce some of the irritation. Irritation, redness, peeling can last about 1 week though may be a bit longer as well! You can always follow up with your provider and send them pictures to ensure they feel comfortable the results are normal.

Answer: Usually with premature peeling and not sticking to the aftercare regimen of applying the kit products, increases the burning se It is ok for skin to peel, feel red, tight, itchy, and it is ok to have some burning sensation when some products are applied since sensitivity of your skin increased. Usually with premature peeling and not sticking to the aftercare regimen of applying the kit products, increases the burning sensation and may lead to some side effects. I would suggest you to make a follow up appointment with your provider and make sure that your healing process is going in the right direction. Good luck!

Answer: ViPeel Yes, these side effects are expected. Your "new" skin will be sensitive with redness. I suggest Aquaphor for relief. If these side effects continue, I suggest you contact your provider.
