Have I scarred my face after Vi Peel? (Photos)

Question

I am finishing up day 6 of the vi peel. All of my face had peeled except for the upper cheek area. I jut showered, and the remaining dead skin rolled off as I was washing my face in cool water with my hands only. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed the red spots, clearly delineated where the dead skin was. Will this result in a scar? I applied the post-peel protectant to my entire face after the shower.

The fact that you were at the end of the peel phase of your Vi peel makes me believe this area was ready to peel and the gentle massage along with the water flow allowed for the skin to peel.I do not believe this will result in a scat. Keep it clean , use the supplied products and it should heal just fine.
