I had the Vi peel 6 months ago. My skin peeled for a week and looked great 7 days post peel, when all the skin had flaked off. About 2 weeks after that, my skin took a drastic turn for the worse. It has become dry, scaly, flaky, red, inflamed, sensitive, chapped looking, and actually, older looking. No amount of moisturizer helps at all. My face looks sunburned all the time and people keep asking me if I am sunburned or have been at the beach. I have reptile skin! Please help me.
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?
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 got a VI Peel for the first time, and I missed the lart that says not to pick at peeling skin, Im very worried that I may end up with irritated cracked and worsened hyperpigmentation, the skin thats exposed is sensitive ans burns when I put on the protectant and the sunscreen. Is there any special care I can give my skin to aid in not causing damage for the remainder of the peel??? My skin that was prematurely peeled doesnt look damaged or dry at this tome nor red or damaged at all... HELP!
Hi! I received a VI peel on Thursday Jan 25 and stopped peeling for the most part by the following Tuesday. My skin returned to its normal touch, look and feel by Friday and Saturday. Today, Monday Feb 5 in the evening I took my little twinkle straight razor and dermaplaned places on my face that had a little peach fuzz. My skin feels fine afterwards. I usually would have waited to shave my face but for some reason I felt like it was ok to do so... could I have caused any damage?
