A VI Peel can sometimes trigger temporary breakouts in the initial healing phase. Here’s why:
- Purging: As a VI Peel accelerates skin cell turnover, it can loosen comedones (clogged pores), leading to breakouts. This ‘purging’ period is usually temporary.
- Product Sensitivity: Your skin is more sensitive post-peel, potentially reacting to even your usual skincare products.
- Irritation: In some cases, the peeling process itself might irritate the skin, especially if it’s already prone to acne.
To minimize post-peel breakouts:
- Follow aftercare strictly: AIVI Aesthetics will guide you on gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and SPF use.
- Avoid picking: Resist touching or picking at peeling skin, as this can exacerbate breakouts and lead to scarring.
- Patience: Breakouts usually clear up within a week or two as your skin fully heals and reveals fresh, clear skin.
If breakouts are severe or persistent, contact AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills for further advice.
