VI Peel Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on taking a step towards radiant skin with your VI Peel treatment at [Your Clinic's Name]. To ensure the best results and a comfortable recovery, it’s important to follow these aftercare instructions closely:
Day of Treatment:
Avoid Washing: Do not wash the treated area for at least 4 hours after your VI Peel application.
Post-Peel Towelette: Your practitioner will advise when to use the first post-peel towelette provided in your take-home kit. Typically, this is done 4 hours after application.
First 24 Hours:
Second Post-Peel Towelette: Use the second towelette before bed on the day of your peel, unless instructed otherwise by your practitioner.
Do Not Apply Anything Else: Until the next morning, do not apply any other products to the treated area.
Day 2-4:
Peeling Begins: You will likely start to see peeling on day 2 or 3. It’s essential not to pick or pull at the peeling skin.
Use VI Derm Moisturizer: Apply the VI Derm Moisturizer (provided in your kit) to the treated areas as needed to relieve any dryness or tightness.
Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. It is critical to protect your new skin from the sun.
Days 4-7:
Continue Care: Keep using the moisturizer to manage dryness and protect the skin with sunscreen. Peeling should gradually subside towards the end of this period.
Gentle Cleansing: You can start gently washing your face with a mild cleanser in the morning and evening, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen.
General Tips:
Avoid Excessive Heat: Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers until the skin has fully healed.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover.
Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Until the peeling process is complete, as sweating can irritate the skin.
Touching and Picking: Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily. Do not pick or peel off the skin as it may lead to scarring or dark spots.
When to Contact Your Provider:
If you experience unusual symptoms, such as excessive swelling, severe redness, or signs of an allergic reaction, contact Farashe Med Spa immediately.
Follow-Up:
Remember, the true results of your VI Peel will be visible once peeling has completely stopped and the skin has fully healed. This is a great time to evaluate your results and plan any future treatments.
