I did a Vipeel one month ago and went skiing two weeks after the procedure. The Aesthetician told me to use 50+ sunscreen which I did but my face got burnt and now I have these horrible fine Lines that weren't there before and my dark spots got even darker. What can I do? Should I go for another procedure?

It usually takes about a full week for you to complete the peeling after a Vi Peel. Moisturize the area frequently (I tell my patients to use the post peel protectant 4 times a day). It just sounds like the area around your mouth hasn't stopped peeling yet.
The Vi peel is a proprietary blended peel that is limited to the epidermis and perhaps superficial dermis. We like it a lot. With all peels there can be some dryness and dehydration of the skin with the loss of the epidermal layer. This is temporary, and will reverse over time...
Chemical peels sometimes can vary in their depth of penetration. After a chemical peel, we often suggest using the Melarase creams to minimize post-treatment discoloration of the skin. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
