I just had a VI peel done 3 days ago and the skin is starting to peel, but the new skin is always burning. Is this normal?

Question

I have kept it moisturized and have not even went outside since having the procedure to be sure to avoid sun. The fresh skin under what has peeled off is burning pretty badly. Just not sure if this is normal?

You should not be experiencing significant burning after treatment of the VI peel. One of the main advantages of the VI peel is the lack of pain and comfort during the process. If you are experiencing burning, I suggest you get an evaluation to ensure your not having a reaction to a product you're using or in early infection.I hope this helps

Thank you for your question! You can try organic virgin coconut oil since we had patient use it and it would bring them relief. If burning only lasts up to a minute as you apply it is usually normal and common for the first few days. It the burning sensation is unbearable, you should make a follow up appointment with your provider. Best of luck!
