• Do not pick peeled skin as this may lead to pigmentation.
• Depending upon your skin type and skin condition, you may benefit from a bleaching agent 1 week after your peel to minimize pigmentation.
• When peeling is complete, you may begin using your regular skin care products at this time; however, avoid the use of exfoliating products for approximately 6 weeks.
• Sunblock is essential to maintain your results.  We recommend Colorescience SPF 30, EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46, UV Sport SPF 50 or UV Daily SPF 40.
• You may benefit from more than one VI Peel treatment; we recommend the VI Peel every 2-4 months for maintenance therapy.
