Vi Peel for slightly darker Korean-American skin
Hi there, I'm a 28 year old Korean-American and have slightly darker skin tone than most Koreans. I have acne scars and congestion in my forehead (kinda like whiteheads). I am wondering if a Vi peel is safe for my skin type. I don't take any medications and am not allergic to any prescription drugs. I do occasionally smoke (about 4-5x a day)but when I do the peel, I am going to quit... because this is a big investment for me and I don't want smoking to cause a delay in the heeling process. Your expert advice would be greatly appreciated. Attached Media Photo:

Most of the time you will need to do a few sessions for best results. The other thing, looking at your picture, is that you should do whatever you can to resolve the active acne. It would be a shame to spend money clearing up the pigmentation only to get more pigmentation from the acne. (less) |
