Does a VI Peel Require the Use of Hydroquinone for the Procedure on People of Color?

Vipeel chemical peels can cause post treatment redness, itching,
dryness, and ironically, hyperpigmentation. Early post-peel care is
vital. I would use a curated combination of Covalent peels, fractional
laser, and topical creams to treat the skin after a Vipeel. Start with
Elevase to help with dryness of the skin. Melarase creams are ideal to
combat pigmentation.

The Vi Peel is an excellent peel for ethnic skin and does not typically require the use of hydroquinone prior.  If that what the person performing your peel advised, however, it's best to follow instructions.  If you do not want to use hydroquione prior, or you have allergies or irriation from this medication, find someone who is comfortable performing the peel without this step.
