Is swelling that starts 48-72 hours after a Vi peel normal?

Thank you for yor question! Swelling after Vi Peel is not normal and common. You may be developing some allergic reaction to the aftercare kit products. I would suggest you to make a follow up appointment with your provider and stop applying products from the kit. Keep using sunscreen if leaving indoors areas. Use mild cleanser such as Cetaphil. Best of luck!

Thanks for your question. It sounds like you might be having an allergic reaction to the products in the post kit. I would recommend cleansing your skin with a mild cleanser like cetaphil and applying a thin layer of aquafor to help with the cracking. You should contact the office where you had your procedure so they can see you in person and help guide you through your healing process. Best wishes.

VI peels can lead to some very brisk
shedding of skin, usually 48 hours after the peel, but can extend to 72 to 96
hours beyond. It's possible that you are having a reaction not to the VI peel,
but some of the aftercare products that you're using following the peel. Oftentimes,
the preservatives in these creams, including hydrocortisone, can result in a serious
allergic reaction with the dermatitis.

It is difficult to determine the
cause of your swollen, cracking skin without doing a more formal allergy or
patch test. My recommendation would be to please contact the physician who
performed the VI peel and discuss treatment options with him or her.
