Q: How long does a Chemical Peel last?

A:

It is good to ask yourself what are the goals you seek for your skin. If it just signs of aging, a bland complexion, or light acne,  then very superficial to superficial peels plus a strong home regimen is worthwhile. There is almost no recovery with these.  If there are heavy lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation and you want your face back, then you would want to take the time for preparation seeking a deeper peel, and some recovery of up to 2 weeks, plus a maintenance regimen.  Chemical peels have rebounded in the past 8 years, with advanced knowledge and diversity in peeling solutions and application for many skin types.  A photo and why is important in answering your completely most completely. It is my resurfacing procedure of choice for practically all skin types and skin problems.  Best regards for this question.
