Which peel is stronger? Vi Peel or PCA Sensi Peel?

Question

Hi. Which peel will result in more peeling and down time? Thanks!

Julia Spears, MD · Answer

Hello! If you are looking for a peel that will cause more peeling and downtime, VI peel will do that for you. PCA Sensi Peel is great but you will just experience more "flaking" not peeling. Now, my aesthetician always tells our patients I can never expect what is going to happen to your skin after, everybody's skin reacts and heals differently, but she does give them a roundabout of what they can expect. Depending on how many layers of the peel is applied can determine your post-healing and your skin prep can determine your post-healing. 
Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question! Vi Peel is stronger. PCA Sensi Peel is designed for sensitive skin and it is a gentle peel with only 6% TCA solution. It may take up to a week to ten days for both peels. It all depends on your skin and your personal case. I would advise you to make an appointment with board certified dermatologist and discuss your options with him/her. Best of luck!
