Hi lovelies,
Since we’re all on our self-care and skincare journeys, I wanted to share my VI Peel experience with Dr. Christine Ibrahim with you all. My main skincare issue has always been hyper-pigmentation, which the is the darkening of skin at trauma points or where the skin has been broken which can be anything from pimples, cuts, acne, and sun exposure, so I’m super excited to see my results and to see if my hyper-pigmentation fades. The VI Peel, which is a chemical peel created by VI Aesthetics, is also great for anti-aging along with achieving an even skin tone.
When I walked into Dr. Christine’s Beverly Hills office, I was greeted by two smiling receptionists and the environment was warm and welcoming, so I already felt right at home. Then I got to meet with the lovely Joan who talked me through the paperwork to ensure that I would get the optimal results from my peel. She was so nice and accommodating that I felt comfortable and at-ease.
Then I was escorted into a room where I was prepped by Dr. Christine’s assistant for the VI Peel. The prep included making sure that my skin was super clean so that the chemical peel could be as effective as possible. They cleaned my skin with acetone and witch hazel and gave me a little fan to use to ease the smell of the cleaning products which shows that they are really thinking about my experience as a client.
Next, Dr. Christine asked me about the current state of my skin and what my skincare goals were. It was nice to be able to ask questions about the procedure and it help me achieve the clear and even skin tone that I wanted - without makeup. But when i do have to wear make-up, Dr. Christine suggested using Oxygenetix because it’s a medicated foundation that heals your skin while providing natural-looking coverage.
After my skin was cleansed and we discussed my skincare goals, she applied the VI Peel all over my face and neck. The chemical peel didn’t burn or hurt for me, but some people do experience a tingling and heated sensation. It’s also super important to use sunscreen before, during, and after the treatment. I had to leave on the chemical peel for at least 4 hours before cleansing the skin and applying the at-home towelettes and post peel skin protectant.
But the real skincare magic doesn’t happen until a few days after getting the chemical peel. You get a VI Peel at-home kit to use the night and following few days after getting the chemical peel applied. The night of, I cleansed my skin with the gentle cleanser and then used the follow-up towelettes to apply more the VI peel and then applied the post peel skin protectant to soothe my skin. The next morning, I cleansed my skin, used the the skin protectant, and then used the SPF 50 throughout the day to protect my skin.
At night, I repeated cleansing, towelettes, and the post peel skin protectant. This skincare then repeats for the next two days. That’s when my skin started to peel and flake starting from around my mouth and then moved outward throughout my face and neck. I can’t wait to see the final results throughout the next few weeks as my skin continues to peel, heal, and even out, but my skin already feels smoother and brighter.
