Can a VI Peel cause hyperpigmentation?

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.
