I had Vi precision peel done 7 days ago, the skin has all fallen off with some areas peeling twice. However my skin is veryyyy red and pink, and the skin tone is not even there are darker pieces of pink skin that don't look fully healed even tho I haven't picked at the skin. I am still using hydrocortisone and aquaphor to help sooth the skin but it's made no difference! What can I expect to happen next, will my skin improve?

Thank you for your question. it is recommended to leave the peel on for 4 to 6 hours. 15 min shy of 4 hours shouldn't make a huge difference. just be sure to follow the protocol correctly for the next week.

Hello Paintingsinlittle,
No need to worry. What you are experiencing is very common. After a peel the skin will appear worse before it gets better. Just be patient, let the skin peel with out picking, wear your sunscreen and enjoy your results.
Best to you!
