“Vi Peel - Breakouts and Slow Healing Process - Normal? ”

I have done a peel that causes the type of exfoliation that vi seems to do several times. I kept trying different types of peels (I have very obvious melasma) and I ran into the same problem. What I had to find out MYSELF by searching the internet many hours, is that what will happen is that if the old skin doesn't exfoliate fast enough, the skin underneath will get congested and clogged with the dead skin from the peel. You should be using an exfoliating cream or wash and gentle microderm scrub (usually day 2 when the skin starts to get dry and tight before starting to peel) to get the old skin off. Use a healing cream all times to soften the skin so that it can be exfoliated or it sill not slough off fast enough and skin will become too dry. LaRoche and Biomedic make great products for this. Available online and ebay. A topical antibiotic ointment from the doc with help clear the breakouts faster and keep them from getting worse. Wish doctors knew this stuff but it seems that we have to find this out from estheticians and personal experience. Use a noncosmedogenic sunscreen to prevent premature aging of your new sensitive skin along with other non clogging products for aftercare. Continue to use a micro scrub to keep the pores from clogging after healing and keep up the results of the peel.

Carmen. I appreciate your response. Thanks for that info! Thats really helpful. I'm about have a v peel. Hope I'm not dissapointed

It is clear that you did not have a ViPeel done but a knock off or imitation peel. No active ingredient in the ViPeel is over 14%...did your physician or aesthetician mix up a formula to equal the peel? What did your patient take-home kit have in it?

Hi, frog, I don't know if you ever found a cure. But I have the same thing. And so far I think I either have an allergic reaction to sugar.. or something closer to diabetes. So you may want to change your diet.. or search up on such things. This information is for anyone else.. this came after years of the problems as states above, going to dermatologists. etc.. I've been searching for this because of acne as well. Topicals can make the symptoms go away. But you are not healing why..
