My Second VI Peel - Tualatin, OR

Third Peel
$600
I have finished my pack of three and while these peels can be pretty uncomfortable I think they are really worth it. I am now on day 6 and my skin has finally started to mellow out, the redness is fading, the peeling has all but stopped and the only issue is some dryness around my chin and mouth. That always seems to be the most sensitive area and the discomfort lasts in that area the longest. This time around I was just fed up with the discomfort so I ran and bought some Orajel. I put a tiny amount on the areas that bothered me the most and got almost instant relief. Ice is also beneficial but it isn't always feasible when you have to work. Anyway, I absolutely feel like the VI Peel is worth the cost as well as the discomfort. I will be sure to buy another package next time there is an open house at the clinic I go to!

Very Happy and Impressed
I knew this peel had to do something. I mean you are peeling layers of skin off but I wasn't sure just how much of a difference I would see. It has been a month or two since my second peel and I am quite pleased. My skin is smoother, fewer fine lines and I have a more even skin tone. I make sure to wash at night and moisturize with my organic Rosehip Seed Oil as well as unrefined Shea Butter if I am extra dry. In the morning I use a combo or Rosehip Seed Oil and sunscreen specifically for the face. I have one more peel to go in my pack of three and while I know it isn't the funnest of procedures I know the results are worth it. The photo I have included shows my face without makeup however I did use sunscreen. It does leave a bit of a whitish tint but it certainly doesn't cover imperfections.

Thank you for your review! I tried pro fraxel lazor a few years ago and it traumatized me. Today is day 1 of my Vi peel and my skin is so itchy and I was worried I made a mistake. Your review gave me real life insight and hope!! Thank you for taking the time to help others :)

6 Days Post Treatment
A lot of the redness and peeling has subsided. My skin still feels tight and scaly around my mouth, cheeks and nose. I have kept my skin moisturized with rosehip seed oil, rose toner and pure shea butter. The pain is gone and I imagine in a couple days I can start to wear makeup again. Naturally you want the peel to make you skin even and healthy looking but I am not quite there yet which is why I continue to wear makeup.
