Hi, I am a South Asian male (32 years). I have had acute acne scarring in the past and although the acne is under control, I visited a derma spa in NYC that suggested using a VI Chemical Peel 2 weeks ago. While the peel was being applied, the skin immediately showed hyperpigmentation. When I started peeling two days later, the face was very pink/bruised . 5 days later the skin turned very dark and remains the same way despite taking care. What can I do? The face is now discolored and with scars
I am Asian Indian, 36 yr old. I have tan skin, suddenly last year 2 dark spots appeared on my both cheeks, and cystic acne. I tried Tazorac 0.25%, HQ 8% cream with Kojic acid & IPL treatments (1 full face and 3 spot tx). Currently I am on oral antibiotic and spironlactone. I think Taz helped me with acne significantly but IPL left me with 5 spots. no change in brown spots, and 2 IPL burn spots. I want to know if VI peel for acne skin is a good option for me, or something else...Please help
I got a VI peel 2 days ago and I'm already peeling! I've been washing my skin with the VI Peel face wash and using the anti itch cream and sunscreen. Should I use a moisturizer even though my skin is in the peeling process? Or should I wait until my skin is completely peeled before applying moisturizer ? I only use Argan oil as moisturizer.
I have oily combination skin and kind of sensative sometimes with something strong to my face such as Vitamin C or retinol. I got VI peel for the first time to remove melasma on my cheeks. There was stinging and a little burn at the begining but nothing hurt. It took me almost 2 weeks to finish peeling but I noticed that there were some spots which is like burn didn't wanna peel. And after they finally peeled, they left me some red spots like scar. I need an advice...
I am on my third day of the VI Precision Plus peel and I am still barely peeling. My face doesn't even feel tight and dry--it feels normal and I have nothing more than just a tiny, very mild bit of sloughing. On the more mild VI Peel that I had in the past, I literally had sheets of skin hanging off my face by day 3, and from other photos I have seen, that seems to be the norm. Yet I barely have anything happening. Is this abnormal and if so, why is this happening? (Or not happing)!
This is my second time using Vi Peel, and I barely peeled the first time (very slightly in couple small areas), however it did add some glow. I'm just afraid that I totally wasted this peel by not first using the acetone prep pad. Did I mess up? (Age 43 w/ thick oily skin)
