Vi peel gone wrong? Red and brown spots normal? (Photo)

Question

Hi. I got the vi peel done yesterday, I have never had any skin problems (just minor acne) but after the peel Im having some red/brown marks around eye and lips. Are those normal? Or it might be permanent? Please help

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. The skin will look slightly tan, yellow or red immediately after the peel. On days one and two the skin will feel slightly tighter, with no visible signs of having had a peel. Any pigmented areas might appear slightly darker. On approximately day three, you will begin to peel. The first signs of peeling usually begin around the mouth area and continue for a day or two. From your picture everything appears to be normal. Always contact the office where you had your procedure with any questions so they can monitor your results. Best wishes.
