I have tried everything. I am 40 yo, suffer from melasma and am of Hispanic descent. I have tried other peels, fraxel, ( which cost thousands and made it worse!), other lasers, bleaching creams, microdermabrasion, and the list goes on and on. The melasma had become so bad that I didn't want to leave the house. I contacted VI and attended a skincare event in Palm beach.
The peel itself was intense. I had the precision plus. I peeled for 5 days. I cannot even tell you that even from one peel I see significant improvement. Dori did suggest I may need more than one which I expected but I didn't expect such improvement from one!! I purchased the appropriate products for after care and its very very important to follow aftercare instruction, wear hat and glasses with serious sunblock etc. I am looking forward to my next peel and will post after that one next month too. Take it from me, I have spent thousands, with little, no improvement or even worsening of my pigmentation. I am finally hopeful I can control my melasma and keep it at bay. FYI, tightening of skin and softening of wrinkles also seen!

I wanted to update you. I have just undergone my 2nd vi peel with Dori, esthetician who's a rep for vi peel and the results are AMAZING !!!!! I have one time area to peel yet on my nose and this peel had me down for about 3 days but well with it!! I have suffered horribly with melasma- this is truly the only thing that works!!!
My Doctor: Dori
My rating:
Let me just say the customer service is OUTSTANDING!! The representative of the product in my area, Dori, was so incredibly knowledgable- she took the absolute best care of me and suggested my treatment plan. After i met her at the skincare event she asked me to be a skin model due to my pigmentation issues and she peeled me herself. She was available to speak to even during my recovery from the peel. Talk about top notch people and service!

Thanks so much for posting pictures for us! Would you mind posting a picture without any makeup so we can see your bare face? It would be nice to see how much of a change the peel made without wondering how much is makeup. :)
Glad to hear the peel worked well for you.
Who actually administered the peel for you?
I'm a bit confused why a rep is doing the peels? Do you know why she is opting to do them, as opposed to selling the product to the derms offices who can then determine if the peel is actually appropriate for a patient of not?
Yeah, I guess it just concerns me a little bit since she is a rep that obviously her recommendations won't be completely unbiased. I guess it seems to me it would be preferable for a person to go to a derm's office and have them recommend the appropriate treatment, rather than the opposite.
