Almost everyone is a good candidate for the VI Peel with the exception of patients who are pregnant or nursing. Also, if your skin is thin or extremely sensitive due to age or certain medications, you may not be a good candidate. In addition, if you have been using isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 12 months, please advise your technician, as this medication can interfere with your skin’s ability to heal itself. If you are prone to cold sores, we recommend taking anti-viral medication prior to and for a few days after your appointment. Patients with melasma, moderate to severe acne, or more advanced signs of aging may require several peels combined with therapeutic skin care products to see results.
