VI Peel After Care Instructions
It is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
**Avoid washing the treated area**: Refrain from washing your face or applying any skincare products for at least four hours after treatment. This allows the peel solution to penetrate the skin and work effectively.
**Use the provided post-peel towelettes**: Provided in the after care kit, for use after the peel. Gently pat the towelettes over the treated area to remove any excess peel solution and soothe the skin.
**Avoid touching or picking at the skin**: Touching or picking at the treated area can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection or irritation.
**Apply moisturizer as needed**: After the initial four-hour waiting period, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and comfortable. Avoid using products that contain harsh or irritating ingredients, such as retinoids or exfoliants.
**Avoid sun exposure**: Protect the treated area from sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least one week after the peel, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV radiation.
**Avoid makeup**: Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours after the peel. Makeup can clog pores and interfere with the skin's natural healing process.
