I had moderate melasma on my lower cheeks, jaw lines and upper neck. I had a series of 2 Vi Peels. Initially,my skin was baby soft and smooth after the peeling process; however, my melasma did not go away nor lessen at all. Additionally, my skin permanently developed a slight reddish brown tint where the peel was applied. It has been over 2 years since the peels.
The only lasting feature of this peel has been the discoloration from it and the difficulty finding a foundation match. It has made my neck look like I have a bad foundation match (or lack of). I have finally found a BB cream to blend everything and make it all match without looking caked on.
I would NOT recommend this for anyone. There are other skin treatments that don't have the ingredient which causes this permanent "reddness". I now treat my skin with microdermabrasions, salicylic acid 30% peels, and BB cream.
