Posted to Vi Peel Review on 11 Feb 2012
Update on last post: That evening after the peel I washed off the potion and applied the towelette. Not really any pain, but an hour later I started to get itchy. Not in any one place just a bit here and there. During the night I realized I was really itchy. She told me if it got bad, wash off the towelette and apply the moisturizer. Told me to take a Benedryl, which I did, because I couldn't fall asleep. It helped within an hour and I slept. Nothing bad last night after 2nd towelette treatment. No itching at all. Today, I'm still red (Look healthy!)and starting to peel around my chin area. I do notice when my skin feels tight, I apply moisturizing cream..it's soothing and I think necessary. I'll post again after a week.

Here's my two cents worth: I had the peel done on Thurs. a.m. They asked me if I was using Retin A or any gycolic acid items in the past 2 weeks. I have not. The procedure was literally painless. I had a peel once and almost levitated off the table! This was fine, they gave me a small fan to hold while applying the liquid. They mention some people get the "boost" formula, but only after going through the first one. She told me to wait 4-5 mos. if I want another one...up to me. Not pushy and was done in a P/S office, not a spa. Girl told me she was licensed...I think that is important. She did the procedure on herself first, said she wouldn't do anything to a patient unless she tried it. Liked that imput!
I'll continue with my update on another post. I talk a lot!
I went to one of the top PS in Charleston. He does faces,nothing else. He offered LSL, and when I asked him 1,000 questions about the procedure he told me that he used that to get patients in but, in fact, didn't do what they say it's like. He said many doctors go to some class and learn the "technique" and then advertise it. LSL is making tons of $$$; think of how long their infomercial is! He also said, that the moment the facelift is done, "you begin the aging process" and the surgery will not last, LSL or otherwise. I have 3 friends who had a facelift and after time they look like that did before.
I would continue with legal action. It is the surgeon who botched the job that is responsible. He probably took the "weekend training class" in Hawaii.
Guess that is why it is no longer available!
I did NOT have it done under my eyes. I probably phrased it incorrectly.
Mine injections were the "puppet lines" and I got lumps and they did go away in 3 mos. My dermotologist was surprised at the reaction.
When I went to my plastic surgeon, I asked him about Evolence and he said, "It's too thick to put under the eyes".....
I do not see this product offered on any of the numerous ads in my area for injectables. I'll ask my dr. when I see him again.
