Full Face Milia After Vi Peel 2 Weeks Ago, Can They Be Removed by a Dermatologist or Esthetician? (photo)

Question

I had a VI Peel performed 2 weeks ago. Now I have a full face of what looks to be white heads (milia), is this a normal reaction? Is there a way to balance the pH in my skin? Can they be removed?

Yes, this can happen after having a chemical peel. Contact your dermatologist for extractions and they can be removed.

It is possible to breakout in milia (whiteheads) after having a chemical peel. I recommend you follow up with your dermatologist for extractions to have them removed.
