I'd like a second opinion: Is this normal after a VI Peel? (Photos)

Question

I've had 2 Vi Peels done in the past and they have basically cleared my skin. I had to switch dermatologist for my last one since I moved states. I got the peel this past Saturday and I've noticed this time that my face is reacting a little different. Not all of my face peeled and I'm also experiencing a lot of redness which hasn't happened in the past. I did everything the same as I did for my past two peels. Does anyone know what could've happened?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you may have some hyperpigmentation now that needs enlighten or cosmelan peel to reverse. id suggest that for your skin tone more than VI which is inflammatory.

this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/melasma/discoloration that needs cosmelan or enlighten peels at home which we can do virtually and send to your home along with aerify peels regularly, vivatia foam, restorsea 10x, faith essence serum, and cosmelan 2 cream.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimonthly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.
