I have struggled with hormonal cystic acne on my chin and hyper pigmentation on my forehead for years. It was so dark that even my makeup wasn't covering it anymore and I was feeling horrible about my complexion. I researched the VI Peel and after meeting with Donna at Glow Salon in north palm beach, decided I would be a good candidate for the peel. The application did not hurt. Mild stinging st first which subsides almost immediately. She gave me a fan to use if the smell bothered me (it smells like acetone is being rubbed on your face). I coincidentally had a friend that shows up at the salon and we talked during the application (which was under 10 minutes) and that was a nice distraction since I was a little nervous. I felt a little lightheaded after due to the smell but after downing some water felt fine. You are definitely orange doe the first 2 days. I'm lucky that I work from home and can easily hide my face from people because I remember thinking if you have a job where you have to interact and go in an office daily, it would be embarrassing especially when you start to peel. The peeling startedfoebme day 3 and was pretty much done by day 5. Day 6 I'm a little more tender and pink on my forehead and I have noticed I'm starting to repeel in some places that have already peeled. I am thrilled with the outcome. My skin isn't perfect but I see an 80% improvement. Biggestest inprovement is my forehead and my chin has improved a lot as well. The new skin is very soft and overall I am extremely happy that I had this done. For those of you struggling with hormonal cystic acne, google organic Olivia acne talk on YouTube. She has a lot of insight on ways to combat hormonal acne. I'm have stated taking lysene supplements and am going to focus on diet and exercise a lot now that I feel that I have a fresh start with my face. Oh and I am a huge picker which is why my scarring was so bad. My sweet husband got me a fidget spinner and a fidget cube to try and curb my desire to pick. It's helped a lot, so if you are a picker too definitely invest in something like that to keep your hands busy.
