4 days post Vi Peel, how can I correct my issues? (photo)

April 30, 2018
Asked By:tleebrown in Chicago, IL

I had the VI Peel done 4 days ago. I admit, there are places I peeled off too soon, but the majority of the redness on my chin occurred despite not self peeling and following post-op instructions to a T. There are areas of the chin and around my mouth which are dry and chapped, how do I proceed and avoid hyperpigmentation (which has occurred on the cheek where I peeled too soon) and scarring (which the spot on my cheek looks like it might have) How can I prevent/correct my issues?
