Post-Treatment Care

VI Peel

Thank you for choosing ROXSpa for your VI Peel treatment! To achieve the best results and support your skin's healing process, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully.

Immediately After Treatment

  • Leave the peel on for at least 4 hours — Do not wash your face immediately. Your esthetician will provide specific instructions.
  • Skin may appear slightly red or yellow — This is normal and will fade as the peel absorbs.
  • Avoid touching your face — Keep the treated area clean and avoid unnecessary contact.

First 24 Hours

  • Do not wash your face — Wait at least 4-6 hours before cleansing with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser.
  • No makeup or heavy skincare products — Let your skin breathe and absorb the benefits of the peel.
  • Use the post-peel towelettes — Follow the provided schedule to enhance peeling and results.
  • Keep your skin hydrated — Use the included post-peel moisturizer as directed.

Days 2-7: The Peeling Phase

  • Expect mild to moderate peeling — Usually starts around day 2 or 3 and lasts up to a week.
  • Keep moisturizing — Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to manage dryness.
  • Do not pick, rub, or peel the skin — Let it shed naturally to prevent irritation or scarring.
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients — No retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliants until peeling is complete.

Sun Protection is Essential

  • Wear SPF 30+ daily — Your skin will be highly sensitive to the sun. Reapply every 2 hours when exposed to sunlight.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure — Wear a hat and seek shade to prevent hyperpigmentation.

After Peeling is Complete (Day 7+)

  • Resume a gentle skincare routine — Gradually reintroduce your regular products, starting with hydrating serums and antioxidants.
  • Maintain results with medical-grade skincare — Your esthetician can recommend post-peel products to enhance and prolong your glow.
  • Schedule follow-up treatments — VI Peels can be repeated every 4-6 weeks for continued improvement.
