Vi Peel Aftercare Instructions

Conveniently Located to Serve Rutherford, Verona, Bergen and Essex Counties

General

  • The first two days your skin will look a little tan, bronzed, or pink. It may also feel a bit tight before the peeling begins.
  • As a general rule, treat it like a sunburn: avoid sun exposure, avoid sweating and avoid heat.
    • During the peeling phase you must avoid sun exposure. Even after the peeling has subsided your new skin will be sensitive to UV light. Protect your investment and reapply your sunscreen when outdoors.
  • If any products in the post peel kit sting or irritate beyond your tolerance reach out to your practitioner for options to use instead.
  • The amount of visible peeling you will experience varies greatly. You will peel as much as your skin needs to peel.
  • Each morning apply the Post Peel Protectant and SPF 50+ Sunscreen and apply as needed throughout the day. Continue use for the 7-Day peeling process.

Towelettes

  • Function: The towelettes included in your post peel kit provide additional stimulation of the skin and expedite the peeling process.
  • Use: First towelette should be used 4 hours after your peel has been applied. Subsequent towelettes will be applied at intervals designated in your aftercare booklet. All towelettes should be spaced a minimum of 4 hours apart and all towelettes should be used in the hrst 48 hours.
  • Side effects: Towelettes are not refreshing towelettes. There are active ingredients in these towelettes and therefore you may note some light stinging upon application. Some people can also experience some itching, especially on night 1 which can be remedied by applying post peel protectant, hydrocortisone cream, or taking oral antihistamine.

Peeling

  • Safe products to use during peeling: VI Derm Cleanser, Post Peel Protectant, SPF 50+. (From your home you can also use a gentle cleanser, Aquaphor, and sunscreen.)
  • Days 3, 4 and 5 are the typical days of peeling. By day 6 most exfoliation has subsided.
    • Typically, peeling begins on the third day, starting in the peri-oral area then peeling outward. The forehead and neck will be the last areas to peel.
    • The skin on the body peels slower than the face; usually starting day 4-7 and taking up to 10 days or more.
  • We recommend cleansing your face prior to showering and keeping your face protected from hot water.
    • When cleansing your face use your fingertips only. Avoid using washcloths or facial machine brushes during the hrst week.
  • While the skin is exfoliating avoid pulling, picking, rubbing and any premature removal of skin. This could lead to significant irritation and possible hyperpigmentation. Never force or peel the skin off in sheets.
  • When peeling make sure to keep your body hydrated and your skin moisturized.
  • The Post Peel Protectant may cause slight sensitivity when hrst applied but it quickly subsides.
  • If you are excessively dry or irritated when peeling, add a light layer of Aquaphor to provide a protective barrier.

Glowing and Next Steps

  • Resuming Skin Care Products
    • Non-Actives: Can be resumed once peeling has subsided, usually day 6-7.
    • Actives: Can be resumed once peeling has subsided and sensitivity has returned to normal, usually day 7-10.
  • Physical Activity / Excercise
    • Refrain for 72-96 hours after peel application. Inducing excessive perspiration can lead to PIH or blistering. Scheduling the Next VI Peel
    • VI Peels should be scheduled every 4-6 weeks (for best results)

Additional Skincare Treatments

  • It is recommended to wait for a minimum of 2 weeks before any treatment that creates exfoliation of the skin. (Includes facials, extractions, waxing, and threading)
  • Consult with your practitioner for other treatment options.

💉PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) filler is a natural and innovative cosmetic treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood components.

👉The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to isolate platelets and fibrin, and then injecting it into areas requiring volume or rejuvenation.

✨PRF fillers are praised for promoting tissue regeneration, enhancing collagen production, and providing a more youthful appearance.

👉This autologous approach minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and supports natural-looking and long-lasting results.

💉Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration has gained significant attention and credibility due to its effectiveness.

✨Derived from a small sample of the patient’s blood, PRP is meticulously processed to extract these platelets.

👉When injected into the scalp, the growth factors in PRP play a pivotal role in stimulating hair follicles.

✨It also repairs follicles, preventing hair loss and fostering regrowth. This natural, minimally invasive method using the patient’s blood minimizes risks and delivers proven results for thicker, healthier hair, offering a confidence boost.
