Hi All,

To whoever is in assumption that one vi-peel is going to change ur looks dramatically,Please read this...

As the doctor explained i started peeling on my 3rd day till 5th day like snake but though underlying skin is new,I still had all acne scars and leisions even in my new skin.So may be it works for people who have minor problems Vi peel works. I also heard from couple of derma specialist that one peel will not help..you need to do a series of 3-6 peels to get to the deep layers of skin..

If any one can suggest a good procedure which will give reasonable results in long run but with out downtime it will be great!

I had a VI peel one week ago; I would not call it pain free. I have had constant pain, like bad sunburn, but for 24 hrs a day for 7 days now. I have swollen and dry eyes and I have scabby areas under my eyes. The area is dry and red and uneven in color. I fear that I will have a scar under my left eye because the area is very raw and weepy. I do not believe there is any infection. I was told one week to beautiful skin but realistically I hope to be fully healed in 2 weeks. This has been a horrible experience for me and I would caution anyone considering a peel that it is not to be taken lightly. It is a very serious procedure.

When you say that one treatment is not enough and that you need a series of treatments, do the treatments need to be done all at once of over a period of weeks? Thanks for your help!

The series of treatments should be spaced approximately 4 - 6 weeks apart. When you get to your desired result, it is a good idea to space the peel 2 - 4 times a year to maintain your result.

so i am on my 3rd peel cause i bought the package. i am dark skinned and it was recommended to me by dermatologist. got it friday @ 1pm. started peeling sunday morning. by sunday night i was dry and cracking. used the vi moisturizer which made my skin burn, like constantly. couldn't take the pain so i washed it off and i was fine but my face was super dry. this moning monday a wash my face and put on th moisturizer again and it burns like all hell. i took this whole week off cause i knew i wouldn't dare show my face in public. My face was so dry this afternoon I took two tylenols and used the moisturizer with hydrocortizone. it took an hour but i got enough relief and was able to sleep. they say don't use hydrocort cause it will stop the peeling process but honestly the pain is son unbearable that at this point i don't care.

I had the same reaction. I told the girl I had sensitive skin but she kept insisting how "mild"
the product is. I want my 200 bucks and my face back.

Nami, I'm black and have medium brown skin. I have a vi peel scheduled for next week. I'm thinking that i might cancel... The reviews are mixed but it sounds like you have had a hard time with it? How was the first 2 peels? Thanks, Leshawn

I decided not to do the Vi peel. too many bad comments about it... Just going to do the regular stuff and wait it out...
