Can I get a VI Chemical Peel for melasma?

VI Chemical Peels must be approached with caution for melasma treatment. Here’s a breakdown of why:

  • Potential Benefits: Ingredients in VI Peels like TCA and retinoic acid can help exfoliate excess pigmentation and brighten skin tone.
  • Risk of Worsening Melasma: For some individuals, chemical peels can trigger inflammation, potentially worsening existing melasma.
  • Thorough Consultation is Key: AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills will carefully assess if a modified, gentle VI Peel could be beneficial, considering your specific melasma type and severity.
  • Sun Protection is Crucial: Diligent sunscreen use is absolutely essential before, during, and after a peel in preventing melasma from darkening.
  • Alternative Treatments: In some cases, other treatments like topical skin lightening agents or lasers might be a safer and more effective option.
