When Do I Start to Peel After a Dermatolgist Office Administered Mild Salicylic Acid Peel?

Hi, I received a mild salicylic acid peel 24 hours ago. I do not feel any tightness and my skin has not started to flake yet. When will it start to flake and for how long? Thank you!

A: When Do I Start to Peel After a Dermatolgist Office Administered Mild Salicylic Acid Peel?

You would typically expect to see some degree of peeling around the 3rd-4th day and this may last around 8-9 days total...assuming it was a strong enough peel.  If you see no peeling at all in that time frame then the concentration may be too low and you may not see any effects at all.  1 day, though, is not enough time for a true peeling agent to work its magic.  So just be patient for now.  But if at the end of a week...you're really not seeing any results then revisit with your treating physician or seek a second opinion on your options.  Cheers!  Dr. Shep
