Had a Vi Peel two days ago. Have I permanently damaged my skin was wearing sunblock? (photos)

Question

I am half Filipina and Half German. I used to have acne so I started to get vi peels and microneedling for the last 4 years. My skin looked amazing amazing until I just returned from this trip. It looks as if my face was hit with dirt all over my cheeks and upper lip. I have obaji clarifying serum and Triluma. Can I use these am and Triluma pm?

Glenn Messina, MD · Answer

The Vi peel is excellent in all skin types but still you are more sun sensitive afterward despite wearing block. It looks like you developed some hyper pigmentation after this sun exposure. The triluma will help and avoidance of future sun exposure is important.The issue should resolve in time but it may take upwards of a year, if it really bothers you you can try to break it up with a Q switched laser like the spectra,
