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

December 22, 2018
Asked By:kimber2020

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.

After the peeling takes place from a VI peel, is it normal to have inflamed sensitive skin underneath in some spots? (Photo)
Amy Miller, MD says:

It looks from the photo that you are ok and do not have an infection--though it is hard to say for sure without actually seeing you.  The redness and itchiness is normal, as new baby skin gets exposed after the top layers peel off.  It is common to have it happen around the...
