I got a VI Peel about 2 weeks ago and it left dark marks around my laugh lines that were not there before. I don’t see any improvement on my skin, and now I feel even more self conscious as I feel the peel made it worse. I went back to the doc today and she gave me a light peel, but I see no difference.
