I typically avoid hydroquinone in my melasma patients, and put them on non hydroquinone alternatives which can be started immediately after peels. However, if you are going to put a hydroquinone on after a peel I suggest waiting 1-2 weeks till the peel has fully healed and the skin is no longer sensitive. Best, Dr. Emer.
Vipeel chemical peels can cause post treatment redness, itching, dryness, and ironically, hyperpigmentation. Early post-peel care is vital. I would use a curated combination of Covalent peels, fractional laser, and topical creams to treat the skin after a Vipeel. Start with Elevase to help with dryness of the skin. Melarase creams are ideal to combat pigmentation. AM: Melaclenz, Melapads, and Melarase AMPM: Melaclenz, Melapads, and Melarase PMBest, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Thank you for your question! This is normal reaction following Vi-Peel. It is important to use the post-treatment kit and stay away from picking your dry skin and sun exposure. The peeling process might take up to two weeks to settle when you will be able to see ultimate results. Best of luck!
This is the result of the peel process healing, the neck takes many days longer than the rest of the body to heal. PIH takes 2-3 weeks to occur typically. At this point, skin care, sun protection, and skin lightening are essential. Please speak to your physician. Best, Dr...
Some people react more than others to peels and it depends on which peel was used. I suggest speaking to a physician if you are concerned, although if your results are good... why worry!!? Best, Dr. Emer.
