Peel Procedure: The skin is first cleansed with a mild alcohol and acetone mixture to remove all surface oils and better penetration on the peel. The first layer is applied which slightly numbs the skin. You may feel brief stinging for 5 to 10 seconds. Subsequent layers are applied until the skin "frosts". The peel is left on and will self-neutralize over the next 4-6 hours. The skin will feel and look tighter with a healthy glow. Mineral makeup may be applied the next morning after the peel.
After the second day the skin will have a slightly tan or red appearance. Over the next two days the skin will feel slightly tighter and look tanned. Pigmented spots and freckles may become darker. At the end of day three the skin will begin to peel. The skin peeling in most cases is a light fluffy peel. The first signs of peeling will be noted in the most sensitive areas around the mouth and corner of the eyes. Use of the Vi Derm moisturizer and SPF is very important to facilitate healing and provide protection to brand new skin.
Do not peel loose skin. It may cause scarring. After skin stops peeling (6-8 days) continue with usual daily skincare routine. Your new skin will be much smoother, clearer and with more even tone. In some cases, the peel is virtually invisible with mild flaking and generally will be finished by day six or seven with substantial results. The peel may be repeated as often as every two weeks, if necessary, for damaged skin.
* Results vary and several treatments may be required for optimal results.

RISK AND LIMITATIONS
Significant complications with medical chemical peels are infrequent, but may include:
- Scarring and/or infection
- Temporary or permanent changes in skin or uneven tone (especially with Phenol peels). These include: Hyperpigmentation (a darkening of the skin, treatable in most cases with current bleaching techniques) and Hypopigmentation (a lightening of the skin, more difficult to treat)
- Cold sore breakouts in patients who have a history of recurring blisters and cold sores, like herpes and shingles. (An anti - viral medication before and after the procedure can help to prevent this).
- Risks for those with a family history of heart disease (Phenol peel only).

Post Vi-Peel Instructions
Day 1. The ViPeel solution is left on the skin and you will be given a post peel kit to take home that contains hydrocortizone and SPF. Nothing is to be applied to the area treated on day one (no SPF, makeup or moisturizer of any kind except the one supplied). The peel must be the only thing on your skin for proper penetration of the peel. Make sure you leave the ViPeel solution on for at least 6 hours. You must stay out of the sun.
Night of Day 1. Wash the peel off one hour before bedtime with gentle cleanser and apply the supplied towelette, from the take home kit (Retin A/Vitamin C) into the skin and do not rinse. Moisturizer with hydrocortisone may be applied if the skin feels uncomfortable or itchy.
Day 2. The following morning wash with gentle cleanser, soothing toner, apply hydrocortisone 1%, and then apply the provided SPF 55. Your Jane Iredale Mineral makeup may be applied at this time. You will reapply the hydrocortisone and SPF at least three times throughout the day or when the skin feels tight, dry, itchy or uncomfortable.
Night of Day 2. That second night one hour before bedtime wash with gentle cleanser and apply the second Retine A/Vitamin C towelette followed by hydrocortizone and/or calming moisturizer.
Day 3. Is the day you will generally begin to peel or flake. Continue the same steps as morning two (gentle wash, apply the hydrocortisone and SPF 55). You must re-apply these three times daily or as needed. Do not let the skin dry out. It interferes with the healing process. Upon the start of peeling, you may incorporate a thicker moisturizer with the hydrocortisone and SPF regimen (hydrocortisone, moisturizer, then SPF). (NOTE: Moisturizer should be used once the peel process has begun).
Day 3 - Day 7. You may reapply Hydrocortisone, Moisturizer (upon peeling), and SPF 55 three times a day throughout the entire peeling process.
Continued Sun Protection. Protect your skin with SPF 45 or higher to prevent further pigmentation.
- Stay out of the direct sun during the peel process.
- Do not work out or sweat excessively for the first three days. Keep skin cool!
- Do not pick or pull peeling skin.
