First 48 hours: After washing the VI Peel from your face, your skin will appear red and mildly swollen. This is normal and will resolve over the first 24 hours. Vigorous exercise or strenuous activities should be avoided during this time as the resulting sweat could potentially alter the VI Peel’s results.
Two to three days after the VI Peel application: The skin will begin to peel. This process can last between three and seven days, depending on the patient’s skin type and condition. Moisturizer can be used during this time to help mask the noticeable appearance of peeling. While the skin is healing, it may be extra sensitive, so patients should continuously wear sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher during the peeling process.
