VI Peel: Pre and Post Care Instructions

How can I prepare for my VI Peel appointment?

  • Stop using retinol products 5-7 days before treatment.

  • Avoid sun exposure at least 1 week prior to treatment.

  • Discontinue usage of scrubs, chemical exfoliants, and exfoliating tools 3 to 5 days prior.

What are my post care instructions? What should I expect post VI Peel treatment?

  • You will feel a warm/sunburn-like sensation for the remainder of the day.

  • Wash your face 4 hours post treatment with a gentle cleanser.

  • Refrain from applying makeup until all peeling and shedding has subsided. You can wear tinted SPF or mineral makeup during healing.

  • Expect peeling 2 to 3 days after treatment for the following 5 to 7 days.

  • DO NOT PICK OR PULL at shedding/peeling skin. This could lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation!

  • Do not exercise or increase your heart rate 24 to 48 hours post treatment.

  • Avoid exposing the treated area to excessive heat - saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga, etc.

  • Avoid all sun exposure until shedding phase has completed.

  • Refrain from deep exfoliation and/or retinol products until shedding phase is completed.

  • Results can be seen 2 weeks after VI Peel Precision + treatment is completed.
