There was a case where a woman got a Vi Peel and instead of getting smoother skin, her skin became really rough and scaly. It was as if the peel had dried out her skin too much. She tried all kinds of moisturizers but it took a long time for her skin to get back to its normal texture. The whole experience was very distressing for her as she had expected a positive result from the peel. Another example is that some people experience a lot of pain during the peeling process. It's not just a mild discomfort but a sharp pain that makes them regret getting the Vi Peel in the first place.
A friend of mine had a Vi Peel and she had an unexpected reaction. Her skin started to swell up, especially around her eyes and cheeks. It was really scary as she looked like she had some kind of serious skin condition. She went back to the doctor who did the peel and they had to give her steroids to reduce the swelling. Even after the swelling went down, her skin was left really fragile and it took months for it to fully recover. This shows that even though Vi Peel is a popular treatment, there can be some really bad experiences.
