Can I get a VI Peel while breastfeeding?

VI Peels are considered medium depth peels and provide great results when done correctly. However, it is not recommended to receive any type of chemical peel while nursing or pregnant. It is better to wait until you are no longer breastfeeding.

there really is no restriction in my opinion. I personally like lightening and exfoliation peels better like emeragecosmetics ENLIGHTEN or COSMELAN and to maintain with EMERAGESKIN AERIFY more than vi peels or inflammatory peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is usually not recommended to use any type of salicylic or glycolic acid ingredients while pregnant or breastfeeding due to limited research. Most facilities will not perform majority of cosmetic procedures or pregnant or breast feeding mothers for this reason. It is best to consult with your doctor regarding this before making a decision.

Hello and thank you for your question. I would advise not doing any chemical peels while pregnant. Peels containing high concentrations of salicylic acid and TCA are not recommended for use in pregnancy but can be used safely when breastfeeding. I would consult with your pediatrician/ob before applying to be the safe. Hope this helps and congratulations!
