FAQ’s
I get darker in the summer and lighter in the winter, how does that effect the type of treatment?
How do you recommend prepping black skin for VI peel? I normally use a solution that my skin care company makes with Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Licorice Extract and a small amount of Lactic Acid for 2 weeks prior to peel to minimize risk of post-peel hyperpigmentation. I have not used VI peel yet but I want to know if this regime can work.
I am in Metro Detroit Michigan and one of the only Medical Spa’s offering VI Peels in the area. I am also translucent white. How do I gain the confidence of men and women of color that I can properly handle their skin tones? I am confident myself, but being see-through makes people who aren’t my FITZ apprehensive in getting treated by me.
As an esthetician performing a VI peel, is there anything different to look out for during the peel application with how darker skin might react to a medium depth peel that differs from how a lighter skin might react?

I had a African American patient who have a VI precision plus peel. After the peel was finished, and giving the patient their instructions, she stated the only reason why she got the peel was she’s excited about peeling the skin off as she peels, so, with that being said, two weeks later she came in with hyperpigmentation on her face. Currently she is placed on a hydroquinone for the areas of hyperpigmentation. Would you retreat her with another peel and stress the importance again about not peeling the skin of manually?
