I washed off the VI Peel applied about 15 minutes shy of the 4 hours. Will this greatly reduce the effect of the treatment?

You should be fine.  It will take about 2 days for you to peel so don't get discouraged but washing it off 15 minutes earlier than normal should not affect it.  Best of luck!

Ronald D. Blatt, MD, FACOG · Answer

thank you for your question. it is recommended to leave the peel on for 4 to 6 hours. 15 min shy of 4 hours shouldn't make a huge difference. just be sure to follow the protocol correctly for the next week.

Regina M. Fearmonti, MD · Answer

Great question! Following the package instructions is always best, but in practice I have seen some variation due to lifestyle/work schedules. I have not appreciated any complications. The results will likely also not be compromised. You should note peeling starting around day 3. Post some followup before/after pictures.
