Question 2

which is better for melasma: obagi, vi peel or perfect 10 peel?

Accepted Answer

Varying effects: The obagi peel is highly effective but may involve some down time whereas the vi peel is less potent and downtime is minimal. I could not identify the ingredients of the a perfect 10 peel and have not heard about it.

Question 3

my mother did the vi peel and a large rash developed on her neck. she went to the er and they gave her prednisone. can this rash form a scar?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: It is not likely.  Vi peel is a chemical peel that often causes an inflammatory reaction as the superficial "burn" removes superficial skin damage.  Should be all good in 3 weeks .  Might need some pre-peel Prednisone before next procedure.  The peel is meant for all fitz types.  Have her see the peel prescribing doctor soon to evaluate.

Question 5

i'm going to guadalajara, mexico for vacation in 3wk's, but before i go... i what to get a peel. should i or not? thank you

Accepted Answer

Wait: Most chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of the skin known as the stratum corneum. This makes the treated skin more sensitive to sunlight. To minimize the risk of sunburn and sun damage, it is safest to not have the peel done prior to a trip where sun exposure is expected. In any case, using a spf30 sunscreen after treatment and avoiding sun is recommended after a peel.

Question 6

why do your cuticles peel?

Accepted Answer

Dry: Dryness of dying skin cells in that area.

Question 7

why does my face peel so much?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Could be dry skin due to winter weather or excessive washing.  May be using a soap that is very drying to wash with.  If using any type of anti-aging products, these can also be irritating.  Sun sensitivity can also cause peeling.

Question 8

can jet peel remove pock marks?

Accepted Answer

No: Pockmarks or acne scars are very difficult to treat because they represent an injury through both the epidermis and the dermis of the skin. Skin peels only treat the superficial aspect of the epidermis and cannot penetrate through the entire dermis without causing a full thickness burn that would require reconstruction.

Question 9

why does my face peel at night?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin: Probably due to dry skin.  If you use a topical retinoid medication or an anti-aging cream at night, consider using a little less as these can be drying/irritating.

Question 10
