Yes, your skin becomes significantly more sensitive to the sun after a VI Peel. This is because:
- Fresh Skin: The peel removes older skin layers, revealing new, delicate skin that’s less equipped to handle UV rays.
- Reduced Natural Protection: Sunburn and pigmentation occur more easily with reduced levels of protective melanin in the newly revealed skin.
- Cell Regeneration: As your skin is healing, it’s focused on regeneration. Excessive sun exposure can interfere with this process.
Strict sun protection is CRUCIAL after a VI Peel:
- Diligent SPF: Use SPF 30+ sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply frequently.
- Sun Avoidance: Limit time in direct sun, especially during peak hours.
- Protective Gear: Wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses provide additional shielding from the sun.
AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills will stress the importance of sun protection during your consultation and in your post-peel instructions.
