Asked By:mnurse1293 in Houston, TX

I got a vi peel on Monday it is now Saturday. I had a scar on my nos that is now darker and larger. I barely peeled on day 3.. just like flaking around nose, mouth & chin. My aesthetician told me not to worry but it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better. Is this normal??
