When performed correctly and with proper aftercare, the risk of a VI Peel causing hyperpigmentation is low. However, it’s important to be aware of factors that can increase the risk:
- Skin Tone: Individuals with darker skin tones have a naturally higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Sun Exposure: If you don’t strictly follow sun protection guidelines, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases significantly.
- Medical Conditions: Certain underlying skin conditions can make you more prone to pigmentation issues.
- Improper Peel Application: An overly aggressive VI Peel or incorrect application technique can increase irritation and the potential for PIH.
AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills takes steps to minimize risk:
- Skin Assessment: Thorough evaluation of your skin type and history is essential before choosing the right VI Peel formula.
- Safe Application: Our skilled providers ensure correct and safe VI Peel administration.
- Clear Aftercare: We emphasize sun protection and provide clear instructions to prevent hyperpigmentation.
