Vi Peel - Beverly Hills, CA

I got it during my rhinoplasty on my face, neck, chest, and hands. I loved it. My face is pretty much done peeling now and it looks really shiny and fresh. It did not hurt. it itched a little on my neck and chest. My face got brownish and crusty and peeled a lot but I liked that. I thought it would be stronger, honestly. I was wanting to do a TCA peel and I may do that another time, but this peel was nice and a little deeper than other peels I have gotten in the past like the skin medica vitalize peel, PCA peel, 50% and 70% glycolic acid peels. I get them to control breakouts and help fade hyperpigmentation and solar lentigos (brown spots) from excess sun exposure as a child and teen.

It is 17 days post -peel today and my skin is no longer as nice as is was after the initial peel days. After the initial peel days my skin was moist and fresh, now it has become somewhat dry and has broken out. I am flaky all over my face. I am not sure if it is the surgery and anesthesia that is causing dry, flaky skin or if it is normal post-peel flakiness. Anyone else who knows about this, let me know :)

Today-Jan.23-11-I broke out a little on my forhead and the area around my nose. My skin is kinda dry now in some parts. My nose is horribly dry but it might just be from having that splint on from my rhinoplasty. I am still happy I got the peel though.
