When can I get Vi peel for hyperpigmentation after having 3 ematrix treatments done?

Question

I had 3 ematrix treatments and my skin broke out very badly. Doctor prescribed me minocycline for 1 month and also spirolactone to get acne under control. Is it safe to get a vi peel, once acne calms down, to get rid of hyperpigmentation left behind? I had the last ematrix done over a month ago

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

ematrix is out of date you need  at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link).

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Waiting approximately 30 days after your Ematrix is enough time to now pursue having a VI Peel done. I would recommend the VI Precision Plus and also check with your provider on stopping topicals or anything exfoliating 3-4 days prior to your peel.VI Peels are perfect for addressing pigmentation, texture of the skin, pore size and acne if you are currently broken out.
