I got a Vi Peel 3 days ago and my skin starts to peel off, and the skin turned to brown too. It also was really easy for me to take the dead skin off, so without thinking, I took plenty of the dead skin off, but some of the new skin is pretty red and it hurts a little. I'm wondering, will the redness be gone after the peeling process is over, or it may take longer for my skin to recover?

Answer: Typical reaction to ViPeel Hi there- Everything you have explained sounds like a normal reaction to the vi peel. It is very important however that you do not try to pull off the dead skin as this can take healthy tissue with it and leave the new skin very red and inflamed. The redness will heal but may take a few days to subside after you have finished peeling. Typically the peeling process is complete by the end of day 5 and then the skin remains pink and somewhat sensitive for another 2-3 days after that. By day 10, most patients are very pleased with how their skin looks and feels and do not have any remaining redness or irritation.

Answer: VI Peel Thank you for your message! It is difficult to fully assess your concerns without pictures. We advise that you do not peel the skin off yourself, but rather let it come off as you wash your face or apply moisture to the skin. Peeling the skin off yourself increases the risk of scarring or inflammatory issues. Any redness is normal after chemical peels, but you may have prolonged the healing process as bit. I would follow up with your provider for further information or assistance!
