Question

I have small pimples on my new skin after a Vi peel. How should I treat these and will they cause hyperpigmentation?

Adaeze Okeke, MD · Answer

I don't think these are anything to worry about. The VI Peel can highlight your existing imperfections. Additionally, it could be that the peel was applied unevenly or heavily in some areas, leading to this frosting.  Make sure you follow the after care instructions precisely, using the towelettes as directed. Do not attempt to pop or "peel" the peel and follow up with your provider as needed. Good luck!

Thank you for your question! Whitehead or pimples occur with number of patients after VI Peel. Some providers place patient prone to breakouts on antibiotics to prevent breakouts. Small whiteheads are nothing you need to worry about, they will be gone before you know it. Make sure you stick to the recovery regimen given by your provider. Avoid popping your pimples and forcefully peeling your skin. Best of  luck!
