I scheduled an appointment with a doctor to do the Vi peel. I read alot of reviews with people saying they regret it?

Question

They reviews I read were of them doing it themselves. Is that why it was bad for them if they did the peel themselves. I have sensitive skin always have to put lotion on my face. I just have a age spot trying to get rid of. Am I a good candidate?

Any medical grade chemical peel done at home by an inexperienced provider is not recommended. VI Peel is sold to physicians only. VI Peel is a great peel when applied correctly. VI Peel along with the right skin care can even out your skin tone, smooth, tighten and rejuvenate your skin.

The Vi Peel is a medical grade peel and should be applied by a experienced provider. There are different types of Vi Peels available and a medical professional can help evaluate your skin and determine which would be best for you. For your safety and proper follow-up care I recommend that you do not purchase what you might find online and try to do this at home on your own.

I would question the product as not being a genuine Vi peel if the person is doing it themselves at home. Vi is supposed to be sold directly the a physician and intended to be applied by a medical professional. The Vi seen on eBay etc may or may not be genuine. The Vi is in general a very nice mid level peel and has 3 separate strengths. I would use precision or plus for sun spots but it will not be a single treatment option.

There are laser therapies that will remove a single age spot in a session or two.
