VI Peel Precision + Peptides® Pre- and Post Care Instructions at Nude Medical Aesthetics Medical Spa in Napa, CA

TWO WEEKS+ BEFORE TREATMENT

Protect Your Skin From the Sun

Avoid excessive or prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, and intentional tanning before your treatment. Arriving with sunburned or significantly sun-exposed skin may require your treatment to be postponed.

  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily and protect your skin with a hat whenever prolonged sun exposure is unavoidable.

Avoid Threading + Traumatic Hair Removal

  • Do not thread the treatment area within 10 to 14 days of your VI Peel Precision + Peptides® treatment.

  • If you have recently had microblading performed, allow at least 10 to 14 days and ensure the area is completely healed before treatment.

 

Review Your Medical + Treatment History

Please notify your provider before your appointment if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have an allergy to aspirin, hydroquinone, phenol, or ingredients found in chemical peels

  • Have used oral isotretinoin, including Accutane, within the previous six months

  • Have active cold sores, warts, open wounds, or compromised skin in the treatment area

  • Have a history of herpes simplex

  • Are currently undergoing or have recently completed chemotherapy or radiation

  • Have an autoimmune condition, liver disorder, or condition that may affect immune function

  • Your provider will determine whether VI Peel Precision + Peptides® is appropriate for you.

ONE WEEK BEFORE TREATMENT

Keep Your Skincare Routine Gentle

  • Avoid introducing new products or treatments that could cause irritation, dryness, or sensitivity before your appointment.

  • Follow your provider's instructions regarding retinoids, exfoliating acids, prescription skincare, hydroquinone, or other active ingredients. Your individual preparation protocol may vary depending on your skin and current regimen.

Avoid Unnecessary Irritation

  • Do not aggressively exfoliate, scrub, pick, or otherwise compromise the skin barrier before treatment.

Contact Nude Medical Aesthetics before your appointment if you develop significant irritation, a rash, open skin, a cold sore, or a sunburn.

DAY OF TREATMENT

Arrive with fresh, clean skin whenever possible.

 

Please avoid applying:

  • Makeup

  • Moisturizer

  • Sunscreen

  • Oils

  • Serums

  • Other topical skincare products

 

If necessary, your provider will thoroughly cleanse and prepare the treatment area before applying the VI Peel Precision + Peptides® formula.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT

Your VI Peel Precision + Peptides® treatment continues working after you leave Nude Medical Aesthetics.
 

Immediately following application, your skin may appear slightly flushed, luminous, or subtly tan. Mild warmth, tightness, tingling, or sensitivity can occur and is expected.
 

Most importantly, leave the peel undisturbed for the first four hours.
 

Do not apply:

  • Makeup

  • Sunscreen

  • Moisturizer

  • Serums

  • Cleansers

  • Oils

  • Any other topical products
     

Do not wash or rinse the treatment area until it is time to complete your designated four-hour post-treatment protocol.

VI Peel Precision + Peptides® Pre- and Post Care Instructions at Nude Medical Aesthetics Medical Spa in Napa, CA

FOUR HOURS AFTER TREATMENT

  1. Complete the Four-Hour Post-Treatment steps provided by your Nude Medical Aesthetics provider and included with your VI Peel® Aftercare Kit.

  2. Use your first Post-Peel Towelette exactly as directed.

  3. Your VI Peel® Aftercare Kit is an important part of the treatment itself. Follow the provided sequence carefully, even if your skin looks or feels completely normal.

  4. If your treatment was performed later in the day, you should still complete the first Post-Peel Towelette approximately four hours after your treatment. Follow the adjusted evening and next-morning instructions provided by your treatment team

OPTIMIZE YOUR RECOVERY

DAY 1: THE PEEL IS WORKING

Your skin may look surprisingly normal immediately after treatment. Some patients notice a subtle glow, mild flushing, or a slightly bronzed appearance.

The skin may begin to feel:

  • Tight

  • Dry

  • Mildly sensitive

  • Slightly warm

Visible peeling generally has not started yet.

Complete your VI Peel® Aftercare Kit protocol exactly as directed. Do not substitute your usual skincare products.


DAY 2: TIGHTNESS + EARLY FLAKING

The skin may begin to feel increasingly dry or tight.
 

Light flaking can begin, particularly around areas of movement such as the mouth, nose, and chin. Some patients will not peel yet, which is also normal.
 

Continue using your Post-Peel Towelettes according to your prescribed schedule. The goal is to complete the provided towelettes during the first 48 hours unless your provider has instructed you otherwise.
 

Do not pick, pull, rub, scrub, or manually exfoliate the skin.
 

DAYS 3–5: ACTIVE PEELING

This is typically the most visible stage of your VI Peel recovery.
 

Peeling commonly becomes more noticeable around the mouth before progressing across other treated areas. The skin underneath may appear fresh, pink, smooth, and more sensitive.
 

Dryness, tightness, mild itching, and temporary sensitivity can occur during this stage.

Allow every area to shed naturally.
 

Do not:

  • Pull or peel loose skin

  • Scrub or exfoliate

  • Use retinol or retinoids

  • Use AHAs, BHAs, exfoliating acids, or scrubs

  • Use your normal active skincare regimen

  • Expose the skin to excessive heat

  • Use saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs

  • Perform strenuous exercise during the initial recovery period

  • Swim in a pool, hot tub, lake, or ocean


Use only your approved VI Peel® aftercare products unless instructed otherwise by your provider.


DAY 6: PEELING BEGINS TO EASE

For most patients, visible peeling begins to diminish around day six.
 

Some residual dryness or light flaking may remain, particularly around the perimeter of the face or in areas that began peeling later.
 

Continue treating the newly revealed skin gently. Do not rush back into active skincare simply because most visible peeling has stopped.
 

Sun protection remains essential.
 

DAY 7: REVEAL

By approximately day seven, most patients have completed the majority of the visible peeling process.

Your complexion may appear:

  • Brighter

  • Smoother

  • Clearer

  • More even

  • More luminous


Some patients, particularly first-time VI Peel patients, may experience light dryness or peeling beyond seven days. This does not necessarily mean anything is wrong.
 

Continue gentle skincare and diligent sun protection while your skin completes its renewal process.
