What to Expect After Your VI Peel

• Peeling phase: 2–4 days after application, lasting up to a week
• Results: Noticeable within 7 days, with continued improvement over time

Your skin may peel in thin sheets (it varies each time), revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. For best results, we recommend a series of VI Peels tailored to your skin needs.

VI Peel® Before & After Care Instructions

Before Your VI Peel Treatment

• Schedule a Consultation: Meet with a licensed expert to discuss goals and rule out contraindications (e.g., pregnancy, illness, cold sores). Open communication ensures safety and optimal results.
• Pause Exfoliants and Active Skincare: Stop using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, scrubs, and other strong exfoliators for at least one week prior—this prevents excess sensitivity and irritation.
• Minimize Sun Exposure: Use daily SPF 30+ and avoid direct sun and tanning in the week before your peel. Sunburned or irritated skin is not suitable for treatment.
• Stop Harsh Ingredients: Cease benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and other acne medications 3–7 days pre-treatment to avoid skin reactions.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water and maintain a nutrient-rich diet for resilient, healthy skin.
• No Waxing, Laser Hair Removal, or Chemical Peels: Avoid these procedures for 1–2 weeks before your VI Peel in the planned treatment area.
• Special Note for Cold Sores: If prone to cold sores, consider antiviral prophylaxis and alert your provider.

After Your VI Peel Treatment

• Post-Peel Hour 1–6: Do not wash, touch, or apply makeup/sunscreen until at least 4–6 hours after your peel is applied. Leave the solution on to ensure maximum penetration.
• Initial Cleansing: After 4–6 hours, cleanse gently with lukewarm (not hot) water and a mild cleanser. Pat dry—never scrub!
• Use VI Peel Kit Products: Apply post-peel retinoid towelettes and included moisturizer according to kit instructions. Hydrocortisone cream may also be used for redness or itching.
• Moisturize Often & Avoid Picking: Apply provided moisturizer liberally as skin begins to peel, especially around the mouth and chin. Never pick or peel—let skin shed naturally.
• Avoid Sun, Sweating, Steam & Heat: Stay out of direct sun and avoid hot showers, exercise, saunas, or steam rooms for at least 5–7 days after peeling begins.
• SPF is Mandatory: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even during indoor recovery.
• Gentle Make-Up: Resume mineral makeup only after peeling starts and as directed by your provider.
• Pause Strong Topicals: Delay restarting retinol, acids, or active skincare until cleared by your aesthetician—typically after 1 week.
• Hydrate & Protect: Keep skin well-hydrated, avoid friction, and stick to the post-care plan for best, lasting results.
