I have permanent discoloration after Vi peel. Is this normal? (Photo)

Question

I has My second vi peel and it went well, I'm actually on my 7th day after the procedure and My chin is still really dry kind of peeling but some patches are like bronzed or red and the rest is my normal skin... Is this normal? Ps: I have reaaaaally sensitive skin

At this point, I would opt for lighter chemical peels to exfoliate damaged skin + application of Melarase creams to help improve skin discoloration and melasma. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thanks for your question and photo. It appears that you are still healing from the peel and perhaps may peel a little more. It does not look like you have any permanent pigment problems from the peel. I would advise you to continue applying the post peel protectant and contact the office where you had the peel so they can monitor your recovery. Best wishes.
