VI Peel

• The level of peeling may vary from flaking to heavy peeling. You will peel as much as your skin needs to peel.
• Your skin may experience slight irritation, itchiness, or inflammation.
• Dark spots may temporarily darken during the peeling process.
• Acne purging may be noticed as impurities are brought to the surface of the skin.
• Avoid sun exposure for 7 days after your VI Peel Treatment.
• Avoid rubbing, pulling, picking, and peeling the skin. This can cause irritation, scarring, and pigmentation.
• Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating until your peeling begins. Once peeling has begun, resume your exercise routine but
we recommend avoiding the sauna, hot tubs, and steam rooms until your peeling has completed on day 7.
• Avoid hot water when cleansing your face.
• Stay hydrated and drink lots of water.
• After application of each towelette, wash hands with soap and water.

4 HOURS POST-TREATMENT

All VI Peels are safe for use on all Fitzpatrick Skin Types. Therefore, a patient’s skin tone does not determine safety. The following list of contraindications does determine safety in proceeding with a VI Peel. 

Patients who have the following conditions are not candidates for a VI Peel:

• Patients who have an asperin, phenol, or hydroquinone allergy.
• Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Patients who have used oral isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past six months.
• Patients who have active cold sores, warts, and open wounds.
• Patients with a history of herpes simplex must be pre-treated with an antiviral.
• Patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy within six months.
• Patients with a history of an autoimmune or liver disease/disorder, as well as any condition that may weaken their immune system. This is not an absolute contraindication. Prior to proceeding, ensure that medical clearance has been provided by the patient’s specialist or your medical director, as delays in healing may occur.
