I have had 4 VI peels since last Sept 2011. My last VI peels was on Sept 10, 2012. I had 4 layers of the peel and around the eyes. My skin peels very little. It is now day 6th and my eyes look very wrinkle and old, will it peel off eventually . I used raw Aloe vera plant on the second day of the peel on my face for 45 minutes to ease itchiness and redness, the nurse said that the Aloe canceled out the affect of the VI peel and that is why I don't really peel . Is that true?

I tell my patients to expect to "peel like a snake" after a Vi Peel. What you are describing sounds normal. I typically advise people to moisturize at least 4 times a day while peeling. Do not pick at the skin. If there is irritation sometimes 1% hydrocortisone ointment...
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...
