During the treatment, you might experience a warm sensation or mild tingling. Afterward, the skin may appear red or feel slightly tight, resembling a sunburn. Peeling usually begins a few days post-treatment, revealing smoother skin underneath.

Post-peel care typically involves gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding direct sun exposure. Your skincare professional will provide a personalized post-care routine to optimize results and minimize complications.
Always consult with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist to address specific concerns or queries regarding VI Chemical Peels and their suitability for individual skin types and conditions.

Results vary, but improvements in skin texture, tone, and clarity are usually noticeable within a week after the peeling process is complete. Continued improvements can be observed over several weeks as the skin regenerates.
