Hi and thank you for your inquiry!

VI Peel is generally considered to be a very safe treatment and since it’s applied superficially on the skin, the likelihood of the peel ingredients getting into your blood stream in any sizeable quantity that could pose a concern is extremely low. This being said, since these and other similar cosmetic treatments have not been studied during pregnancy and breastfeeding, out of abundance of caution we generally advise the patients to wait if they can and get the treatments after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
