VI Peel Aftercare Guide
Thank you for choosing the VI Peel to rejuvenate your skin! This medical-grade chemical peel is designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health by targeting fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and more. Proper aftercare is essential to maximize your results and ensure a smooth healing process. Below are the steps to help you achieve glowing, refreshed skin.
Your VI Peel comes with a Post-Peel Kit which includes detailed instructions on how to care for your skin after your peel, but here are those instructions again in case you need reminding or happen to misplace your paper copy:
DAY 1
• Immediately after the peel your skin will appear as if you have a “tan” and may be slightly pink and shiny.
• Please wash your skin after 4 hours. You may apply a thin layer of post peel protectant (moisturizer included) as needed.
Also apply the SPF if it is still daylight hours.
• 1 hour before bed, wash face with a mild cleanser, dry well, and apply one of the post peel towelettes to the peeled area.
*If extreme itchiness, or uncomfortable irritation occurs, wash with cool water.
DAY 2
• Cleanse skin with a mild cleanser and gently pat dry. • Continue to apply a light layer of the post peel protectant 2-4 times per day or as needed. Apply SPF after every
application during daylight hours.
• 1 hour before bed, wash face with a mild cleanser, dry well, and apply one of the post peel towelettes to the peeled area.
*If extreme itchiness, or uncomfortable irritation occurs, wash with cool water.
DAYS 3-5
• You will start the peeling process by seeing a slight sloughing of the skin, first around the mouth area, then in surrounding treated areas. Refrain for picking or pulling at the skin during this process.
DAYS 6-10
• Continue to treat the skin gently, and do not scrub.
• Avoid any facial treatments until the skin is no longer sensitive.
• Resume any topical prescriptions (Retin A, Differin gel, Renova) when skin feels back to normal
It is very important that you follow the post peel instructions in your VI Peel Take Home Kit for the WEEK following your peel.
