How much time to go between chemical peels?

Peel procedures are classified as superficial, medium and deep, which refers to the intensity of the peel and the depth in the skin that peel affects. In general, the downtime for superficial peels is much less that deep peels. Still, it is hard to make a recommendation as everyone responds slightly differently to the procedure. In general, I tell patients to wait anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks between... more
