I had my first vi peel done 4 days by a very prestigious med spa in my area.
I have been dealing with acne problems since July 2009 due to an allergy reaction to an antibiotic tetracycline and after trying all kinds of treatments ,home remedies etc my acne has been under control however it has been a battle to make the acne spots disappear reason why I tried this vi peel with the greatest hopes that this is it.
I also like to add that I had taken over a year of training,classes,licensing of skin care to help myself and others over come such terrible condition . I still have few brake outs here and there including at the time of when the vi peel was done so I don't know if this will help wash away those but I heard this helps with the overall condition if your skin.
I read the night before horror of testimonies regarding this vi peels there's a case where the person says after 2 months of glowing skin suddenly it all went so bad that nothing could be worse, I started to get some kind of panic attack (exaggerating ) :) well maybe not so exaggerating I am truly worry anticipating the worse but want to keep my hopes up thinking for the better.
Well here are some inputs
The moment of the application it all felt great, not burning itching what so ever, only once under my right eye area and she put the fan and it felt better after few seconds, came home washed my face after 4 hrs apply the post peel cream they gave me and forgot all about it until last night when suddenly I started to feel itch in some areas and peeling. I applied hydrocortisone cooling itch relief cream took a Benadryl and woke up great. Face is looking amazing.

Overall avoid sun exposure , wear sunscreens 30 or greater, keep skin cool avoid getting hot as the body temperature raises and cause a lot of discomfort , apply hydrocortisone creams moderate amounts only the first 7 days some of it contains cooling and numbing ingredients that helps a lot. Antibiotic ointment also helps keep skin lubricated and serves as a skin protector coat, I believe washing the skin where the peel was applied helps remove the dead skin that also helps those who have the need to pull it as the water soften it and naturally washes it away. I heard from experts that sun exposure can cause this peels to go really bad even if not immediate it can be in the near future, other than that I feel vi peels are very safe if followed instructions well. I have done several types of peels during this few years after my bad Sudden Acne experience and some can go really bad if not applied with cautious by the professional Sometimes people think that applying too many layers will give better results and its not true , is best to do a light peel every few months than one strong as it penetrates deeper Making the body and skin work harder and weaker to reproduce itself With the vi peel automatically you are putting strong chemicals so better go slowly and patiently wait for good results even if it takes a year. I understand you can do it again after few months so go with the regular strength avoid the precision unless you skin is conditioned for it.

Hi although this forum is extremely informative and enjoyable I find that most posts are a few years old Is there anything like this available a little more updated so we can get cutting edge info ( time wise)

I had one night of itch that was about the third day I put the hydrocortisone cream and the Benadryl allergy cream that contains numbing and have not had any more problems. I gradually peeled but nothing much. I can see the skin looking better already. I also been taking Benadryl pills at night .
I use the post vi peel cream along with antibiotic ointment throughout the day
Wear a bit hat and lots of sun protection creams during the day.
I don't let my face to get dry so I believe it's been the key to peel easy without having the discomfort this may bring.
One thing I noticed is that although I protect myself well when I'm outside ( not under direct sun light) just outdoors underneath my porch just the heat of the day is enough to aggravate my face. The temperature goes super high in my skin so I have to be under the AC. I wear no make up in my face during this time only in my eyes if I need to. The peel was applied in the delicate area under my eyes but no in my eyelid.
I understand that the one thing that can make this goes all wrong is sun exposure
Please avoid it!
