I have oily combination skin and kind of sensative sometimes with something strong to my face such as Vitamin C or retinol. I got VI peel for the first time to remove melasma on my cheeks. There was stinging and a little burn at the begining but nothing hurt. It took me almost 2 weeks to finish peeling but I noticed that there were some spots which is like burn didn't wanna peel. And after they finally peeled, they left me some red spots like scar. I need an advice...
What sort of treatment is suggested to get rid of scars with PIH on chest skin leftover from acne AND superficial 2nd degree burns? I have an olive complexion and there's no hypertrophy but I do have hyperpigmentation mixed with the hyperpigmentation. I got aerolase lightpod spot treatment on each of my scars and there was no change. Another aesthetician suggested VI body peel but not sure if it will go deep enough and I'm scared to get more pih. Thanks
So I just had my first peel 4 days ago. It was a vi peel & Im prob just freakin out, but was wondering if its norm for the new skin to be red & super sensitive. Its to the point that even the cleaner & moisturizer burns. Im using the stuff from my derm office, so im not sure why this is happening. Even the vi sunscreen seems to burn my "new skin". Also, yesterday my lips started to burn a little & have been burning every since. Sorta feels like they are wind burned…is that normal too? Thanks
I had my peel 4 days ago, No real problems except that even the cream that comes in the kit burns when I apply it, especially around my mouth and chin where I have rosacea. I started using Aquaphor yesterday and it is the only thing that is soothing. My skin does tend to be a bit sensitive.
The skin on my chin on both sides of my mouth are extremely dry and no matter what I put on it, it burns. Last night, the only thing I could find to apply (that didn't feel like it was burning) was coconut oil. Today I can tolerate Vaseline on it. The peeling is gone in this area (this is day 5) and I am left with darker skin that feels leathery to the touch and cracks whenever I open my mouth too wide. What else can I do to make sure it stays hydrated and doesn't cause permanent damage?
She seemed surprised it hurt me. Burning subsided with her fan. Is this normal to rub hard while applying?? And she did this about 5 times I had to ask her to stop. Also skin under eye crinkled from her rubbing please see photo this has never appeared under my eye before.see the two lines going straight down towards the outside of the eye on your right-she caused these with the rubbing-should I be concerned? Thank you!
First let me preface this with - I KNOW BETTER THAN TO PICK!!! I got a VI Peel 4 days ago. On day 3 after a shower, the skin around my nose, left cheek and chin was all soft and mostly detached, so I started rolling the skin off. A few hours later the skin started to burn pretty badly in the areas I peeled. Today all of that skin is extremely tight and wrinkly particularly on my cheek. Also, my chin is peeling again very lightly as you can see in the first picture. Thank you.
I had a VIPeel done on my face and neck 5 days ago. My face is doing ok but my neck is extremely raw and seems to be burned. I cant even straighten my neck because the skin is so taught. I dont know if this will heal or if I need to seek help?
I am Asian Indian, 36 yr old. I have tan skin, suddenly last year 2 dark spots appeared on my both cheeks, and cystic acne. I tried Tazorac 0.25%, HQ 8% cream with Kojic acid & IPL treatments (1 full face and 3 spot tx). Currently I am on oral antibiotic and spironlactone. I think Taz helped me with acne significantly but IPL left me with 5 spots. no change in brown spots, and 2 IPL burn spots. I want to know if VI peel for acne skin is a good option for me, or something else...Please help
Had my first Vi peel. I wanted to reduce the fine lines around my eyes and mouth. Leaving the Dr. some areas were more red, they went over them more times. Day 2, areas are so wrinkled when I smile and look like orange peel when I'm not. My skin looks very aged from my eyes to my mouth. After I peel will this resolve? Seems deeper. I am so worried. I've followed the instructions, kept the protective cream and aquaphor on. Is this normal? Does it look better after peeling and will this go away?
