I got the peel on saturday. For after care, i was told to use aquaphor instead of the post peel protectant and sunscreen. My face doesn't feel dry. Only slight peeling in my temple area on right side of my face. I have significant acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. I have dark skin of african descent. I paid $400 for the peel and am worried i wasted my money. I've seen so many youtube videos of the peeling process my peeling looks so mild. Should i which to the post peel protectant instead of aquaphor.
I had the VI Peel done 4 days ago. I admit, there are places I peeled off too soon, but the majority of the redness on my chin occurred despite not self peeling and following post-op instructions to a T. There are areas of the chin and around my mouth which are dry and chapped, how do I proceed and avoid hyperpigmentation (which has occurred on the cheek where I peeled too soon) and scarring (which the spot on my cheek looks like it might have) How can I prevent/correct my issues?
Hello, I just had the VI Peel done last night at around 6 pm. I left it on until I woke up in the middle of the night (4 am) and washed my face and rubbed the towelette all over. I went back to bed but tingling woke me up in a little over an hour. Instead of washing my face, I applied the hydrocortisone cream. I plan on leaving this on and then applying the SPF before I go to work. Is this acceptable post care treatment? Also, may I wear La Roche Posay tinted sunscreen throughout this week? TY!
I had the VI peel done 3 days ago. I used 2 of the towelettes that were included in the aftercare kit on days 1 and 2. My question is, when am I supposed to use the 3rd towelette that is in the kit? My skin is peeling now, I don't think it would make sense to apply it over the skin that looks like it is getting ready to peel, but I'm not sure.
