Generally, the VI Peel is a safe and effective treatment for most. However, there are a few contraindications that disqualify you from receiving the VI Peel. Please note that the below list is not an extensive list, and we always recommend you consult your healthcare professional before starting any new skincare regimen or treatment.

• Those who are pregnant or who are breastfeeding

• Those who have an aspirin, hydroquinone, or phenol allergy

• Those who have used oral isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6 months

• Those who have active cold sores, warts, open wounds, or history of herpes simplex

• Those who are undergoing chemotherapy and or radiation therapy within 6 months

• Those with a history of an autoimmune (i.e. Lupus) or liver disease/disorder, as well as, any condition that may weaken their immune system

The level of peeling may vary from flaking to heavy peeling. Your skin will peel as much as it needs to peel. If you don’t have a TON of peeling, that is OK! The peel is still working for you and exfoliating at the cellular level to brighten and improve your skin’s appearance.

In general, you can expect to start peeling on or around day three and peel for about three to four days afterward. Each person’s peeling experience is a little different, and some may peel for more or fewer days, depending on the condition of the skin. If this is your first VI Peel, it’s also normal to peel for a longer period of time.

Yes! Not only do the post-peel towelettes provide more acne, pigment, and age fighting ingredients; they are also designed to help speed up the cell turnover process, helping your skin to peel faster and peel more, maximizing the results you may get from the VI Peel. Because the towelettes help your skin peel faster, they are also helping to minimize your downtime, speeding up the time from peel application to glowing skin results. If you skip the towelettes, your peeling process may be prolonged or minimized.

Everyone’s skin is a little different, and the number of peels needed for desired results varies from person to person, and from skin condition to skin condition.

While just a single peel will achieve significant skin rejuvenation (think less pigment, smoother skin texture, and brighter, glowier skin overall), in general, we recommend a series of 3-6 peels for optimal results.

Sun Exposure: You want to avoid direct and extreme sun exposure for the first 7 days. Make sure you’re applying your VI Derm SPF 50 Sunscreen (provided in your Aftercare Kit) every morning.

Also note that lifestyle sun exposure, like running errands, going for a walk, walking your dog, grabbing coffee, and driving, are all fine, as long as you are protecting your skin from the sun by wearing SPF and wearing a hat.

Exercise: You should refrain from exercising for 72-96 hours after receiving the VI Peel to prevent any blistering in the skin or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). If prone to PIH or with pigment damage/melasma it is suggested to refrain for the entire 7-day peeling process so as not to induce heat or inflammation in the skin that can lead to further damage.:

Yes! ALL VI Peel treatments are safe and effective for ALL skin tones.
