VI Peel® has approximately 5–7 days of social downtime, although you can continue most normal daily activities.

Light flaking may begin around day 2, with the most noticeable peeling typically occurring between days 3–5. Peeling generally begins to ease by day 6, and most patients are finished peeling by day 7.

During the peeling process, skin may feel tight, dry, sensitive, or mildly red. Avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin and follow your provided post-treatment skincare instructions carefully.

Exercise should generally be avoided for 72–96 hours after treatment to minimize excess heat and inflammation.

By the end of the week, fresher, smoother, more radiant-looking skin is typically revealed.
