Should a Vi Peel be used on legs? (photo)

Question

Stubborn sun spots on my legs didn't respond to IPL at all so I had a Vi Peel. My legs didn't feel anything during the peel nor did they dry up, peel or flake. They actually felt softer. I've spent $1000 on sunspots on my legs but they're still there. Is this normal? Was the Vi Peel too gentle?

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

The Vi peel is safe to use on all areas of the body but only 25% of the body at one time. For treating the stubborn "sunspots", or solar lentigos, multiple treatments over a six month period is recommended. Also adding the precision plus booster to the regular Vi Peel makes the peel 25% stronger and adds the additional lightening ingredients hydroquinone and kojic acid. At home care including Vi Derm Ultra A (0.1% retinoid acid, vitamin C and Vitamin E) and Vi Derm Bleaching Cream (hydroquinone 4%, Kojic acid, Azelaic acid and Arbutin) will add additional lightening and rejuvenation to the effected area. Unfortunately sometimes these stubborn spots do not respond and deeper more aggressive laser treatments may be needed.
